Catching up with last weeks..

The last 2 and a half weeks have been very busy. I had visited my country, attended my couisin's wedding. After coming back tried to catch up with my work. There were plenty although I was checking the e-mails while I was back home. The busy schedule was accompanied first with a cold than with a chronic cough which turned out to be allergic. Had to go to doctor twice, second was to have them change the medications.

Flew night cross country last Saturday. It was very hard due to all coughing and I was also tired. I run my first 5K last Saturday morning. Running with lots of people was a nice experience. Maybe will run April's Fool Run next Saturday.

I could not lose much weight (was 63.2 kg this morning) but feeling good and getting fit slowly. Plan to add some weights to my workout. Hope to go down to 55 kg in a year.That would be nice. If I get good rest I can try a long run tomorrow morning. 

Most of my colleagues flew back home yesterday after completing their masters studies. Home feels alone now after having guests for the last 10 days. 

I fell asleep on the couch last night watching something on TV. Tried to sleep in my  bed when I woke up in the morning. Did a little cleaning after breakfast. Rested a bit then went out for a quick jog. Then went out for a movie. The Hunger Games. It takes place in future, the people are living separetely, some live in districts. They are very poor and they seem to live a life like in concentration camps. They can hardly find food to eat. Their houses are broken down. Each district has to send a representative to the annual Hunger Games. This game is for the pleasure of the other group of people although they try to brain wash the poor ones that it is to commomorate the hard days they experienced. Why did not the rich provide the represeantatives too? It now reminds me poor families sending their kids to war while rich people just watch what happens on TV and the big companies/... manipulates the events. I want to read the book. Sometimes books are better than movies. I would not classify this a kids movie. There was plenty of violence. There was references to friendship, love, loyalty but the main frame was disturbing.

And one more note from today. I mowed the lawn this afternoon. First experience. It is not too hard but a bit tiring. It must be because it was the first time after the winter. Should do it more often, it would become easier.

Nightmare coughing was getting better since a couple of days. Started again in the evening.

I plan to study Gleim this weekend. We will start getting ready for the exam with friends..
