oh no, that wouldn't work on the weekends. see, me and my parents have a deal, they pay for most of my educational stuff (tuition that financial aid doesn't cover, textbooks, exam prep courses, etc.) and i pay for skating and everything else like my groceries, gas, and anything else I'd want to buy. but since my parents are paying for my school, there are certain criterias to uphold. I have to keep up my GPA basically, which isn't too much of a problem. but if they think i'm studying on the weekends, they may soften a bit and help me out with gas money or food lets say.

besides, my parents know that the only type of workout i like besides skating is running, and i run in the morning, so if they call in the afternoon, and my roomate says i'm working out, they'd get suspicious, and wonder why i didn't run in the morning. so then they'd start to think i was hiding something much worse than a skating session. i know, i have crazy parents. and my mom especially has gotten even crazier after my sister moved out as well, so now there is nobody left in the house besides the dog, and she has a classic case of empty nest syndrome.
