I woke up this morning and did my long run of the week. 2 miles down to the beach and 8 more on the shore for a total of 12. I came home very smelly so I showered before starting to study. Today I prepared for next week's classes instead of studying for the exam. I put notes in my manual and reviewed specific muscle actions of the hand. At 1p I headed over to my friend Amelia's for a house warming party. My hour and a half train ride was spent reading about the wrist and hand. I got her a fantastic sushi making kit with chopstick and holders.
Amelia is a fantastic host. She made a ton of absolutely delicious food all while giving tours, picking people up from the station, and making sure all of her various friends had been aquatinted with one another. Next time I have a party she's planning it. This girl's got skill!
She has two pet birds. Australia is so awesome, this is their version on budgies. They also have parakeets but these are "the standard cheap pet store bird. Yellow for Gillie, birds for Abbie....perfect!
Her house was really nice as well. It's a 3 bedroom ranch with a deck. She has some really nice furniture like this indoor picnic her boyfriend made. It's a wine and cheese holder with notches for the wine glasses and an ice bucket.
At about 5:30 half of my classmates left. Tory and I were about to follow and Amelia said oh just hold on half an hour for some brownies. So we did and they were well worth it. Yum! Tory had driven and was nice enough to give me a ride back into the city. She offered to drive me all the way home but I knew with the traffic that my house was an hour out of her way so I took the tram home and read more about the wrist and hand.
I got home in time to prepare for the week. I made lunch, straightened up, made to do lists and packed my bag. At the end of the weekend I still have a large list to catch up on but I feel accomplished.
