The Kooks speak my life right now

So I did actually feel better this morning! I got up for brekkie (that’s breakfast) and 2 of the girls who left me yesterday came up at different times and each apologized about what happened. It was such a relief because I was beginning to think that they were very bizarre, emotionless people, haha. So I asked around regarding what people were doing today and was quite surprised (or not surprised at all?) that NO ONE was planning on doing a single thing today! And not just the Americans, but everyone on my hall as well was just going to basically lie in bed all day. I was not thrilled about this because I knew the weather was going to be perfect all day. So after I got a wonderful and much needed surprise call from Mike :) I decided to go over my chemistry lectures from last week which got old really fast! I read my chem. practical for tomorrow and highlighted all the important steps of the procedure which was so unnecessary—it’s a simple titration…I could probably do it in my sleep. I actually think I will be out of lab tomorrow within 20 minutes. I decided to escape and went out for a run. It was about 74 degrees and sunny with a perfect, cool breeze. I stopped in the Great Court so I could stretch under a tree and then walked to this park where there are 3 lakes, one of which has a huge fountain in its center. There were people walking on the nice pathways all around the lakes and others having picnics. I walked home and had lunch with my hall. I came back to my room and did a bit more studying and organizing but got bored of it so quickly—there really isn’t any work that I need to do so what I did today just got me ahead if anything. It was 2pm at that point and outside world beckoned me so I went on a long walk to clear my head. It was hotter out but the breeze was so nice and it wasn’t humid at all. I walked along the river for a while but ended up back around the lakes because it is just so beautiful there. I came back and felt refreshed. I’ve organized myself for the next few days so I think I will just read because I have the time and I can! I love that. Time to read for pleasure while at Lehigh= not possible. I will treasure it!
