(no subject)
so...i haven't posted for a while.
i've been playing volleyball over here, and it is a lot of fun. for the most part the people that are there are all very good players. one that i have been hanging out with a lot (and who has been helping me with my attack, as that is his specialty) used to play on the junior national team. we generally play on a guys net...one that i can almost walk under without having to duck. so it has been a lot of fun. there is this one guy though that is shorter than i am, but can get over the net, and over the block when he hits. the guy that's been helping me is trying to convince me that i can jump has high as the short guy...i'm not yet convinced, although it would be cool.
what else. well, i have had more exams.
i realized a while ago that i have been abnormally tired. it's partially because i have been getting less sleep, but not enough to make me this tired. i'm having trouble staying awake in class, i'm having trouble staying awake when i come home and do my school work. and my skin is pale. reason? it is pretty rare that i eat meat, let alone red meat. and i know that my iron stores are very low. i do know that my iron absorption must be really high right now due to the fact that it is so low. even when i lived at home, i didn't eat a lot of meat, but normally when i did have any iron i would have it with orange juice (vitamin C increases the absorption of iron), so although i was anaemic for a while, this did help. but here, i don't really drink orange juice because it's too expensive, and i don't buy meat, because it's too expensive.
so the conclusion. well, i already know that i pretty much have to correct the deficiency. so i bought iron supplements. i am NOT a supplement girl. but when it is hindering the amount that i can work, it is my only choice. i also bought vitamin c supplements (although i know that i am over and above what i need in vitamin c...but i'm doing it to enhance my already increased iron absorption ability) i am also going to start buying steak.
so yes, this is where i am at. i have one week left of school. it is going to go by fast. and then i have exams, and i am finished. man has this year just gone by. especially the last month and a half. maybe it's because my friday and saturday nights have been filled with more than just studying, and that i'm starting to enjoy the city a little more.
je pense qu'on doit demandez nos questions à Dieu, et puis on peut vivre nos reponses.
s'il-vous-plaît, aide-moi à commencer par sortir ma lassitude.
