Breathing through exams

Don't worry I'm still alive! Just had to take a couple days off from the blogosphere and it's been taking me good two days to catch up with all the blog readings  (well I'm almost done). Man, there're a lot of posts out there :D

Anyway, 2 presentations and an exam done. One exam left on Tuesday and I'm off to Mexico on Wednesday. I just love being an upper year, doing a massive lab thesis project and having so few exams to write. Life doesn't get better then that.

So what have I been up to other than studying? Keeping up with barefoot running exercises... Also, ummm re-watching all three of the Lord of the Rings movies. To be honest I used to love LOTR when I was tween. I was that girl who didn't give a **** about make-up and was a total tomboy. Now with the Hobbit coming out in a week, I thought it'd be a good time to rewatch all three movies. It took me about a week as study breaks of course! I really do miss that sense of adventure, courage, friendship, and the idea that we're all part of this world and need to work together to get through the tough times. It felt like the whole Middle Earth has joined forces in the movie to defeat the evil Sauron. The whole Legolas- Gimli relationship is also a perfect example. Sure there's been quarrels between elves and dwarves for centuries but they really did become good friends after they put aside their prejudices. Ok I'm getting carried away with this!

Foodie related stuff... there were a lot of green smoothies at breakfast time :P I also tried some raw sprouted kamut porridge and I'm not sure if my tummy appreciated eating raw hard grains.

Along with power foods like cottage cheese (quark from a Ukrainian store)/ apples/ peanut butter. Honestly this super simple light meal/snack is like 20g of protein 0.0 Who said it's hard to get protein on a vegetarian diet?

 Oooh! My mom also bought me these shoes! They're like 8$ from Walmart and were intended for me to swim in in Mexico (just in case there're rocks or anything sharp on the bottom of wherever I'm swimming). Well I put them on and they were mighty comfy to run in. Who knows what I'll do with them :P

Please ignore my grandparents room and my ultra baggy pants :P

 

As you can tell I really liked the shoes. I instantaneously started taking pictures of them and being like ooh I'm so blogging about this. My mom thought I was crazy...

Those have been pretty much the highlights of my week. :)

What do you guys do when you take breaks during exam studying?
