Sweat & Snow

In a trance of being both hyper and tired, I thought that naturally 12:30 would be a good time of night for a workout.  I joined Jaco, Andy, Al, Sean, and Ryan for a deck workout in the 9th floor common room.  This is where a deck of cards is used to direct a workout—diamonds, hearts, clubs, and spades represent flutter kicks, sit-ups, jump-squats, and push-ups (I opted for girl-style push-ups).  The number on the card dictates how many do (with face cards being the true slave-drivers), and with jokers representing 1 minute of a superman or a plank.  Midway into the workout, I felt like I was dabbling in masochism.  This was not helped by the fact that the rough carpet had literally rubbed the skin off my knees (due to my girl-style push-ups).  Once this lovely experience was over, I refueled with some Pad Thai shared with Jaco.  Andy and Sean also brought out Ritz crackers, peanut butter, marshmallow Fluff, and Nutella.  Enough said. 
On another note: I have a new decorative addition to my room.  First I taped a stray piece of snowflake cellophane to my ceiling.  Of course this calls for paper snowflakes, which Kassie and Erin made while comfortably watching the hellacious deck workout.
