Cold

Had a cold the last two days. I think it was because of the swim I had on Wednesday combined with the mild trauma from losing my favourite pair of gloves (haha..). I'm still harbouring glimmering hopes of finding it at the london transit office.

I was glad that I woke up feeling good this morning. Had a nice talk with Orla last night, who noticed that I looked sad-not much because of anything else but because of the cold I had. I was probably a little sad too because of Mf's promotion problem. Anyways, it's a blessing to have a good roommate who shows care and concern and talks to you.

Mid-April Plans
Yay, I've settled my mid-april plans- Chicago> Vancouver. Nick offered me a room to stay in UBC! So nice of him. Excited now!
Next week
It's another busy tuesday next week: Motions assessment and IPIP assignment due. Talking about IPIP, I think the episode with MAW is the most unpleasant and unneccessary thing that happened so far in my exchange. We all knew when we talked to her that it's not going to change anything. This shouldn't have gone so far anyway- it was due to an unfortunate twist that the feedback did not go through the right channel. I hope MAW will take it in her stride and that this has not generated a big storm at the adminstrative level.

Pilates
Went for pilates just now. It's been some time since my last pilates class!
I like the instructor. She has such flair and enthusiasm in her trade. Yoga and Pilates always end with something that creates internal peace and inspiration. I like one of the lines, "Exhale the stress that you brought into the room...be like a lion, fearless and true".
At that moment I wish I were a lioness-fearless and true! Fearless of all difficulties and own shortcomings, and true to myself and others.

Hmm. Got to go back to work. It's another clueless IPIP assignment and endless preparation for motions assessment!
