new me^^^

i am having slight difficulty typing. this is because this morning i went to an aerobics class at the gym and it ruined my muscles. for real. i dont think ever in my life have i worked out and even when i thought i was, now i know i wasn't actually. i really thought i wasnt going to be able to walk down the stairs out of the class we were in! Also whats really the worst part is that the instructors assistants were laughing at me most of the time and when they werent laughing they were holding my feet so i can do a proper sit up. please dont feel bad for me!!! im not that upset about them laughing because its not like i went in there feeling like i was about to impress people with my strength- granted, i wasnt expecting anyone to laugh at my weakness but they just feeding the fire within me. pep talk. this means im thinking friday im going to try yoga. (before my spa trip!!) Also it cost about $4.50 to go to the class. i paid them for my pain.

also tonight i went to play badminton tonight cause people finally gave me straight answers (the seasons over but they still practice and people play with all different skill levels) so i went for like 1.5 hours and i played with 3 chinese people who were speaking chinese the whole time (even to me) and also they explained the game to me and showed me what the lines meant and how to add. thats because it was my first night so obviously i have never heard of badminton or mathematics. it was fun and i plan to go again tomorrow and im crossing my fingers i get to play with the same people. i ate a snickers bar when i came home and dont say i didnt deserve it.

also today nele and i made baguette together but it was like she made the dough ahead of time and i shaped them and put them in the oven. they werent perfect which was really surprising. i think next time it will go better but i have no idea what we did wrong so if it goes better next time i think that counts as luck. but they tasted really good- it was just the outside wasnt hard enough and the shapes were bad. that i have to take credit for the bad shapes cause nele wasnt even home when i did that.

also today i checked the mail and it was just a newspaper so i was let down but then nele told me that mail comes also, separately (sort of like in america, where i come from). so then when i checked the mail the second time there was a slip saying we had a package at the post office and i was really excited and i got in the house and it was addressed to Dr. Holm. and i havent gone by that name in decades so then i was disappointed again because its not for me. but nele got a number for customs so we can call them to see if they have received it yet.

i think you are all underestimating the difficulty of the class and thinking im pathetic but let me just ask how do you know? have you ever been to an athletic club in south africa? i seriously wouldnt be surprised if my legs werent attached to my body tomorrow.
