Day off recap

Days off are like New Years' Eve this summer - after so many days waiting for them (particularly SEVEN this last time!) it feels like it's necessary to a) disconnect, b) relax, c) be productive and carry all required errands and d) have fun. That's a hell of a lot of things to expect from just one day, so I think it's normal that days off do not completely match our (my) expectations. However today I feel I did a bit of everything.

I disconnected, by going for an amazing run, which saw me covering almost 5km in 30 minutes with this new season prep fitness plan that I have sorted out - and a more reasonable training schedule than before, asking for me to do an effort 3 times a week. Most of the sessions are between 25 and 30 minutes long and I skipped "Level 2" programme because I think I am were Level 3 requires, that is to say, ready to get into game pace. It was nice to see I am fit enough to start and very ready to face the challenge.

I relaxed, as I slept till 10am, something I rarely do. I have got to the conclusion that maybe my body can't sleep like I used to, and that waking up at 8.30 is good as I can enjoy the days for longer and use my mornings to read the paper, interact a bit and do some study or reseach. But sleeping today was great.

I was productive as I went by the agency to drop my timesheets from last week. I really cannot wait for Friday now, as I want to see my deductions and stuff, and let's face it, I worked shitloads of hours, I am feeling greedy about the amount of gold I'm gonna get hehe. Also cause I found out today that they will reimburse the money I pay for my masters with the scholarship, but not fund me straight away, meaning I will have to pay the cash upfront and then they will give it back to me. That's dead easy for them to say, because they have the money. I need to ask this very nice secretary lady, as I also need some concluding dates for my registration.

And I had fun, as I went for walks up and down, enjoyed the sun today, and the great company, and I went to see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 again, but this time in 3D. Plus it only costed me £7 at the Grosvenor! Lovely cinema! Me thinks I will be going back to it in the future for way more sessions now that I'm gonna be a student again soon. Yay!

I know I could have been way more productive today, but I also prepared a lesson and delivered it to the guys, and I managed to clear my mind from work-related rubbish and I feel so much better and ready for quite a lot of work more! The week tipped off really well, let's keep it rolling!

Ps. It's great to be thin for no reason (49.2kg, are you kidding me?) and so fit that it looks so good again for no reason. Specially when your girlfriend feels giddy about it :D
