rfmcdonaldYesterday evening, I went to see Dr. Emond at the health centre, to get measured (calipered and calculated, more precisely). The results were interesting. Apparently I've got 25% body fat and am slightly overweight, still. No surprises there--I think I can stand to lose another 20 to 30 pounds. Too, I'm apaprently two inches shorter than I thought (5'8" instead of 5'10"), which is quite unexpected. Ah well, at least I've a goal to aim for now.
This morning, I've resumed counselling again--Dr. Morrison is, I'm sure, disappointed to find that my breakthrough, well, really did not happen like I thought it would. I still agree with my friend Naomi's excellent advice, and I still admit to wanting to keep on hurting my parents, but it is also true that the desire to inflict retaliatory emotional suffering on them does reflect some concern for their well-being if a negative one. I'll see what the family counselling is like tomorrow and report back.
Afterwards, there was the historiography class, where we talked about the Annalistes (gotta love the longue durée!) and the upcoming paper (I'll analyze Beyond the Atlantic Roar, about the Nova Scotian Scottish settlement, from the perspective of the historical sociology school). Later, I photocopied the readings for English 493 and then went to the cafeteria to get lunch (muffin and a salad with olive oil dressing) when I ran into Dr. MacLaine. We talked about different things: global trends towards obesity, contemporary novelistic fiction, Southeast Asian modernities, livejournal (hi!). Afterward, I bought Andrew MacPhail's The Master's Wife at the UPEI bookstore, not only because it's a good book but because it provides an insight into traditional societies of which PEI was one. (As in Third World traditional.)
Ah well. Work now
