Se as Meninas do Leblon Não Olham mais pra Mim

I wore my glasses to the gym last night, for the first time in my life. I was expecting everyone to stop what they were doing, point at me and sing in unisom: "You are wearing glasses! You are wearing glasses!" But nobody cared, nobody gave me a second glance. It's strange lying on a mat, doing stretches while wearing glasses; and I had to take them off to run on the treadmill; but it was absolutely fine when it came to lifting weights.

The gym continues to be empty in the evenings, despite the end of Ramadan. A lot of people must feel discouraged when the temperature drops.

I'm waiting for our gym dropoff to occur. It's a nightmare at the moment with all the eager new students and that's only going to get worse for the next few months as more and more register... They should be at lectures or something... Although i suspect the novelty will have worn off for most of them by christmas.

I see people getting tours and inductions all the time, but they never seem to actually show up for any work outs. I'm hoping it stays that way. When I first joined, there were so many guys (the kind that bypass any warm up/stretching and go straight for the bench press) who'd just mill around the weights and machines, leaving nothing for the rest of us.
