I'll start things off with something good - the food I ate last night. I scrambled eggs in soy milk, and stuck 'em in a wrap with tomatoes, spinach, black olives, and cottage cheese. It was quite delicious.

I decided to try out soy milk as I feel that I currently have too much milk in my diet.. normally I have milk in at least two meals a day in order to get a good enough fat and protein.
I certainly don't plan on eliminating milk, as I enjoy the taste far too much, but cutting back seems like a good idea.

Tonight's meal was good as well, but nearly as delicious - I made cream of wheat with soy milk and added a little real milk once I was done cooking it. The soy milk made it sweeter so I didn't need to add honey, and then the bit of milk I added gave it the proper taste.

I spoke with my Principles of Management professor tonight about my test. I actually wrote down my student ID wrong (I put "592" in one spot instead of "152". I can't understand how I messed that up as I remember thinking it as "152" right before I filled out the scantron sheet. Anyways, I got a 19 out of 20 on the exam, plus 1 bonus point, so I would have had 20 out of 20, but I'm getting docked a point for messing up my ID number, so it's back to 19. *sigh*
The worst part was that I had to wait in line forever to see him. He's an extremely talkative old fellow (he spent 15 minutes before the exam telling us how to fill out the scantron - perhaps I can blame my mess-up on the fact that he bored me to death - or not..) and there were eight other people who also needed to see him.

Since they all had places to go afterward, and I didn't, I let them all go first. It should've been fairly quick (go into the office, see the grade, and leave) but the professor spent at least 10 minutes talking to each person, mostly lecturing them on studying, and I myself had to wait at least 5 minutes after he told me I was done because he was complaining about other students.

By the time I left it was dark, but I was in a mood to play so I practiced parkour at one of the entrances to the College of Business, then performed a Passe Muraille (vertical wall run) and got on top of the roof above my classroom. I was up there last week, it's kinda cool but not too exciting since there's no place to go from there but back down.

I went back and did some more parkour, mostly speed vaults and monkey vaults, with some lazy vaults, wall runs, and rolls mixed in. I had a couple of people stop and watch me when I was doing rolls (I was dropping about 4 feet and rolling, really no big deal) and one guy came up and asked me if I was practicing for skateboarding. I told him a little about parkour and emphasized that I was being careful, and then he stated that he wanted to make sure I wasn't going to be breaking any bones, and left.

When I got home I performed several kong vaults on the picnic tables shown in the video I posted on facebook a while back. It's gotten so much easier to do them than when I started; I think I can definitely thank my weight bench for that.

I'm also back working on computer game programming (2D right now, eventually hopefully 3D). It's hard to find time to work on it though.
I'm very glad I only went with two classes this semester. Between that, working full-time, excercising, and cooking my meals, I have very little personal time anymore.
