Career
• E-mailed The Kean Review for their submission guidelines (M). Got an automatic response back that day, saying that if it's a submission, they read irregularly and encourage people to simultaneously submit to other publications. They only notify people if their work is accepted! Also, their Web site isn't working. I think I'll look elsewhere.
• Read through the poetry in a Philadelphia Stories collection to determine which poems to send them.
Fitness
• Weight lifting (M - upper body; R - lower body); DDR (M - 30 min.; T - 30 min.; R - 35 min.); Walking (Su. - 40 min.)
• Weight and measurements (R): down 3 pounds (yay!); chest, down 1/4 inch; hips, down 3/4 inch.
