15MB of fame

Back at it

I returned to taking lessons in Italian two weeks ago after an almost six year pause. It is a challenge getting my homework done and a it hurts my brain to speak Italian for a full hour, but all and all it is a pretty satisfying endeavor. My desire was really just to get some mental exercise and not lose to much ground on the year or so I have put into learning Italian. Not sweating fluency or a planned trip to Italy and just focusing on the enjoyable parts of learning a language make this a pleasant experience.

I did it!!

I’ve had this goal on my list as long as any of the goals on my list. Today I can mark it done. My numbers were nothing special, but what is special is that I now know them.

BP: 129/80 (a bit high, but I’m always a bit high)
Total Cholesterol: 250 (I think I can do better)
HDL: 60
LDL: 158

The numbers don’t make me feel anything (because I mostly don’t know what they mean, yet) but marking this goal off my list feels great!
