140.4

My mom and I spent the day visiting with my grandma at her retirement home. Grandma, as I've mentioned is getting old (92 this June) but despite her fragile body, her brain is alive and functioning. She's a blessing and I feel extremely lucky to still have her alive and be able to build a stronger relationship with her.

(side note - There's a kid in one of my classes who I overheard telling another of his buddies that he was on the phone with his grandma before class started. Now before your heart melts at the thought of a 22 year old kid on the phone with his grandma - he ended the conversation with "yeah she couldn't hear me b/c she's old and deaf" - You almost had me kid. Almost. Too bad you'll kick yourself 10 years from now for being so cruel )

My mom and I had a wonderful time together. (has she always been this funny? this nice? Where are they hiding her) She drove off this afternoon and I found myself wishing she would have (could have) stayed longer.

Weight*Watchers is going well. I'm down almost three pounds in two weeks. I'm finding it difficult to eat only 20 points/day. It's usually more around 24 (not crediting in my workouts)

This "semester" of school is better than I expected. My one group consists of 4 other people; 1 quiet shy finance kid, 1 single mom to a 4 year old, 1 married father to an almost 2 year old, and 1 very annoying 20 year old kid who is fond of saying "dude" and being extremely wishy-washy in his decisions. One of my teachers has agreed to start class 15 minutes early (7:15AM) in order to finish class by Tuesday July 3rd.
My other teacher is biding his time before retirement and seems content with only lecturing us for an hour, sometimes hour and a half a day. Extremely boring and mind numbing. Only 9 days left!
