So, last year I paid $50 for two semesters' worth of yoga and rec classes at Harvard's athletic center. Good deal. Now, for seven weeks of classes this summer, they have charged me $65. I understand that it is more expensive to run a full schedule of rec classes in the summer, because there aren't near as many students here. That still seems like a big ol' price difference to me, though. I'm just hoping the fee I have to pay for classes this fall doesn't go up too much.
Anyway, I bring this up because I paid the dang fee, and I figured if I go to two classes a week that will mean I'm paying less than $5 a class and will therefore make me feel better about the price. I made it to two classes last week--yoga on Tuesday and a Nia dance class on Friday. Today I skipped my usual yoga class to go for a nice lunch out on the boss, but fitness-wise I'm in good shape anyway--losing my T pass has forced me to walk to and from work yesterday and today, and my butt muscles are hurtin'. I don't know if I'll be able to cram two classes into the rest of this week, though. I'm hoping to get to the 6:05 yoga tomorrow evening but might not be able to. Thursday I'm planning on hitting my usual yoga class. The big problem is that I'll be away all next week, thus missing an entire week of rec classes that I have paid for! Grr. Ideally I would like to make three classes in a week so I can still get my damn money's worth. I know I'm being way too picky and that lots of people are paying way more for yoga classes. I don't care. I still want to milk my athletic center membership for every penny it's worth. (Although I don't ever go there to, like, lift weights or use the treadmill. God forbid.)
I know I already mentioned my pretty skirt that I'm wearing today. I have been feeling very princesslike all day because of it and so I've been using my princess icon in all my comments. Not even the giant blemish on my chin can spoil my princessness (though it has reminded me of why I grew my nails long in the first place--zit squeezing!). I don't feel like using my princess icon very often, and I won't likely feel like a princess tomorrow, so you should all take this opportunity to treat me like royalty. Dat iz all. :)
