Today is Mother's day and also a Sunday which means a new episode of GoT which I will be watching at 9 PM tonight in the comfort of my living space (which is just the basement part of a big house). So excited, because this will be the first time I actually watch it when it airs on TV, and will not have to pirate it later. On Saturday I went for a run in the morning. I took a trail that circled the base of the volcano, and which led to the Botanical Garden. I think the distance from my place to there is about 4 km, and took me about half an hour. On the way back, however, there were so many hills, so I walked most of the way back. I was quite exhausted afterwards, and after a shower and a small breakfast I fell back asleep in bed. It was the longest distance I had covered to date (almost 8 km). When I woke up I realized that I got slightly sunburnt, and there were tan-lines from my shorts and t-shirt. I then decided that I will go during the evenings when the sun won't be as aggressive. So I've been drinking A LOT of tea recently, thanks to my new awesome tea maker! So today I made some bubble tea for the first time ever!
Just had block 3 exams. Physio, neuro and biochem (in order of increasing exam difficulty). They were a little rough, but it was to be expected. This was the hardest block for biochem (pathways), and we had renal and resp for physio. And neuro was, well, neuro. What used to be an easy course is not so anymore thanks to one or two people in the class that ruined it for everyone. I passed everything but definitely could have done better. One more exam before the shelfs, and I'm already worrying about them. Everyone is agreeing that second semester is one of the toughest.
I have started jogging in the mornings about a week ago. Like actual jogging. Not the jog-for-five-minutes-around-the-block-jogging. But jogging for 3-4 miles every morning, and sometimes in the evening right as the sun sets. It's a nice work out, and it helps me keep motivated. Now if only I could keep this stress-eating under control, things would be a lot easier…
Anyways, here are some photos I took recently:
View of sunset during one of my runs.
My first week and a half.
I made cookies from only two ingredients: banana and oatmeal!
