leeds for the weekend was fantastic. i had my first starbucks chai latte in the uk and it only cost me about $6, what a deal. it is so nice to wander around shops, stop and have a coffee at a coffeeshop, and spend the evening on a couch watching a movie. sounds a bit strange, unless you've ever lived without a cozy spot to curl up or in university residence. and a home-cooked roast beef dinner is pretty great too.
yesterday we walked around a Very Old abbey in the yorkshire dales, and it was nice to be
outside even with all the mud and near-falls down slippery hills. there was snow on the ground that crunched when you walked and i could hear all the newly born lambs baa-ing in the farmer's fields and it was a perfect way to spend a sunday.i feel refreshed and ready to finish this semestre. speaking of which... i have three more papers awaiting my attention. should really get to those this week. but i have to do some more baking for my weekend visit with my auntie. at least i can say this whole grad school experience was multi-dimensional even if i don't always get as much reading done as i'd like.

look at you...all english with your "semestre" spelling.
i can understand why you miss having a cozy spot to curl up on...i would really miss that too. I'm glad you feel refreshed.
two updates:
#1 - i did go for a run so if you were anxiously awaiting fitness news, well there it is and i feel so much better. amazing what a little fresh air and sweating can do on a monday evening.
#2 - now that the rest of the christian population has joined me in lent, i am happy to report that i am continuing to refrain from chocolate, although i fear i may have replaced chocolate with any and every carbohydrate within arm's reach!
kjk - i could really use your motivation to go for a run most days and to convince me to go for another km or pick up the pace!
wish i could help you out as well!!!always think of me behind you when you feel like quiting and go that extra 6 min.i know you can do it, so now just do it...hahaha.a am so excited that you still run though, just think of how goood you feel when you are done...that tied, jello leg, goodness...i have run my heart out feeling, that should bring you back to the road for a visit more often im sure.
