Slippery when wet
Given this title I've got some explaining to do. I like to run and especially off-road. Given that I'm living in Edinburgh which has a big hill called Arthur's seat (misspelled it I think) I can run up a hill :). My running shoes are apparently not suited for running up a rocky hill that's slippery when wet. Then again running (more like walking) up hill wasn't that bad. If I would fall I would fall up hill and not down. But running down hill is more challenging when your shoes lack grip meaning that is was slipping and sliding the whole way down. Then it's all of a sudden less fun to run around. This actually happend to my today (Sunday). Luckily for me it was already the end of my run and the second time I was up on Arthur's seat within one run :). Don't get me wrong it was still a great run and a bit more challenging this way. On the way back I was thinking about how quickly the week had gone by and about the interesting stuff I could write about. To be honest it was a pretty boring week. Okay so now for the interesting bit. On Tuesday I cooked Minestrone soup for Jess and me. It was a bit different from the normal or standard way in the sense that I found some Habanero sauce (really nice and spicy) and added that to the soup. So it was now a soup which had some nice spiciness to it. The advantage of cooking for two is that you can cook a bit more try some different stuff and put some more effort into it. On Wednesday I went out for dinner again. This time it was Portugese. I'm guessing the people of the restaurant though those students need to eat more because the portions we got were really big. And when I say really big I mean really big (also really good though). The starters looked more like mains and the mains looked more like dinner for two days. Again it was really good food and a really lovely place. The only thing was that my body found it a bit to salty and I had to go and get some water during the night. After a rubbish night there was a long day ahead of me on Thursday. It started around 9 and ended around 6 pm at two unis. The starting time is normal the ending time gets normal now. This is because of a lab that started this week and ends at the end of the semester. So now I need to skip one dancing class and can only dance for 3 hours instead of four. The most annoying thing is that I need to skip the most difficult and also the nicest class. Any way I'll just start doing that next semester then. So on Friday I had to got to the JobCentre for my national insurance number. On of the questions was if I ever lived in the UK. Nope not officially. How long was my previous visit. Euhmm 3 months. Okay so now we need to know your previous address. Yeah that was over a year ago. I could drive or walk there but definitely don't know the actual address anymore. Okay so I'll just write down that your dementia has started and your fit to work :). That was a new experience still they are nicer than back home and less bureaucratic. Anyway the rest of the day went as normal traveling between unis and relaxing a lot in the evening. Saturday consisted of doing more homework. Thankfully Jess dragged me away to a movie in the evening. And I guess I told you about Sunday because apart from the running bit described above and writing this there was more homework involved. Onto a new week :).
