I don't have much to say about this last week. I think we're all getting used to the current schedule and lack of meditation, though we're still anxiously awaiting the completion of the renovations. It rained a lot last week and we had to train inside which can get pretty boring and cramped. Other than that nothing really new is going on. I finally finished reading The Count of Monte Cristo (a Christmas gift) and I'd recommend it. At 117 chapters it'd definitely NOT a quick read but it is a really interesting story about revenge and forgiveness. I liked it and thought it was well written. Being here has really changed my literary tastes. I have been reading a lot more classics. At home I usually read non-fiction but here I'm more interested in a well written story.

Well hopefully I'll have more to report next week.
