June/July (fitness/summer plans/etc.)

Jul 04, 2006 20:01

For some reason, the computer room were I usually sit, is closed from July 3rd to August 31st, so now there's only one computer room in the entire university I can use. Fortunally it's summer, so hardly anyone is here, so it's should be no problem to get a seat. But the keyboard is very different from what I'm used to, so many errors may occur. But on this Saturday I'm going to Aarhus, so if their internet works, I'll probably be on all the time then.

On June 10th, I did something I had considered for a long time, bought a handweight (whatever it's called in Anglais), it's only 5 kg, but if you do enough times with it, it will be heavy in the end. And for the first week I used it everyday, then didn't as much, but lately I have really over used it, and my upperarms are really pressed to the limits. Good thing, as I need to work up my outer beauty (or lack of same), and be more fit and muscular. Also, I got a tip, which I'm surprised I didn't think of before: make soup of various green plants. So June 11th, I decided to go out and pluck these plants (don't know what they're called in English, but they are first with yellow, that then turns white and that's seed that spreads, and everybody hates them in their garden), and also some of the plants that burns your skin etc. And boiled it, I found out that making tea rather than soup was more me (with tons of added sugar of course). It taste well, and although I only drink the water that has boiled the plants (and don't eat the actual plants) I still hope some vitamins spread. It's strange with my love for nature, that I didn't think of this, and actually I haven't done it lately, I must do it again. the final thing I did to be more fit, was that some mornings when I awoke early, then (starting from the early morning of June 24th) I ran/walked for about an hour from about 4:45 am to close to 6 am (when the sun just arose), I really think it helped, I certainly sweated, but as I don't awake early these days, I haven't done it lately either.

One of those early mornings, I decided to walk to the university, mainly to be at the internet, before people would come there. Unfortunally the internet was closed, but I saw huge posters advertising for "Flower Power Festival In Freiberg" (I knew of course it was in Germany, and later found out, that it was rather far away). The reason I can't lay this away, is that the headline of the festival is good old Amon Düül II, my latest obsession, which is one of the only bands I have listened to the last year. It would be amazing to see them live, and go on a trip to Germany. The festival is based on the same time as Sevi has time of work, and I have decided, that I must go to one of those, I really must. Sevi has (if I haven't said earlier) again invited me to Bulgaria, she said she couldn't come here, because of her finances, but for some reason, she thinks I am super wealthy, and can afford going there all the time. And actually I have realised, that finances is the only thing that holds me back from going. All the hard work, stress, and endless discussions and fights with Sevi isn't that much of an issue now for some reason.

July 1st, I delivered my application for my side-subject in History. I haven't finished what is needed for starting on my side subject, so I wrote that I'll finish during this summer, and if that is to succed, then I partly have to do more work than I have done the last year, and also have the luck to be excused for being late. So, I'm screwed. On that day I also saw a note that advertised for doing a summer job, for humatarian or similiar purposes, could be interesting, but I don't know how much time I have here. Have to run now, and buy some food at the stores before it closes. Bye...
