Monday: We spent the day on buses and planes getting back from the Whitsunday Islands to Canberra. On the way to the airport from Airlie Beach, I had some time to call my parents, so it was nice to catch up with them after the week. We got back around 7:30pm, so we did all of our laundry and unpacked everything before getting back into some school work. I went to bed early because I was quite exhausted from the amazing spring break I just had. Tuesday: I got up and prepared for the day and left for campus. I had lecture in the afternoon, and I’ll be honest, I wasn’t very productive. I spent most of the day watching Netflix and replaying the previous week in my head. It was really hard to get back into the mindset of studying. In the evening, I cooked some food and read a few articles for my food, health, and nutrition class. I went to bed somewhat early again because I still hadn’t recovered from the crazy break with not much sleep and a jam packed schedule. Wednesday: I had my nutrition class and my sustainable communities tutorial. They were both pretty interesting. It was still hard for me to focus though. After my tutorial, I worked in the community garden on campus. We removed a lot of things to make room for planting new spring crops. I got to take home some fresh broccoli, parsley, spring onions, and beetroot. When I got back to the apartment, I studied some and made some dinner. Kiley and I watched some TV and then went to bed. Thursday: In the morning, I went to the gym, and then I went to the mall because I wanted to get some things for Kiley’s birthday the next week. I went to campus to study after I ate lunch. I got a little bit done, but I still wasn’t too productive. I had my nutrition tutorial in the afternoon where my group decided which parts of the presentation we would research and talk about. After class, I headed home where Kiley and I made some vegetable stew with the fresh garden produce and some other things we already had. It was really tasty, so it inspired me to make more of it later. We invited Nicola over to watch The Bachelorette together. It’s always fun watching those cheesy shows with more people. Friday: I went to Body Pump with Kiley, and it made me realize how out of shape I am. It’s one of those classes where if you don’t do it for a little while, it’s really hard. It was a challenge, but I felt good after I finished it. I showered and read some articles. Then, I wrote a discussion post that was due that evening. Then, I ate lunch and headed to the library to write another post for the same class. I spent quite a bit of time researching some things for other class projects and then headed back. We watched a classic chick flick called “The Other Woman” and enjoyed making fun of it. Saturday: We went to Body Attack in the morning to start the day off right. Then, I showered and ate lunch, and Kiley and I walked to campus together. We sat by each other at the library to prevent each other from watching Netflix or getting too distracted. It didn’t work the best, but we both got a fair amount of work done. We also started looking at classes we’re going to take at ISU next semester since registration is coming up. It’s so weird to think about that when we’re here. We headed back after I opened a bunch of articles to read when I don’t have Wi-Fi at the apartment. I realized when I got back from break that all my end of the semester projects are coming up pretty quickly, so I need to start researching and getting some stuff together. We watched the movie “Clueless” which was super cheesy, but we didn’t mind because we have fun laughing at those kinds of movies. I also started watching “Man of Steel,” but it went too late, so I went to bed. I know, I get pretty crazy on the weekends. Sunday: We woke up and went to church which was nice. The message was about being thankful for all the little blessings in our lives, and it was refreshing to be reminded of all the things I take for granted. After church, we went to a fitness class called “Body Balance” which is similar to yoga, so we got a nice relaxing start to the day. Then, we had lunch and headed to the mall to use the Wi-Fi and then get groceries. I wrote my blog post about spring break, and then I got the food I needed to make a vegetable stew similar to the one we had earlier in the week. When we got back, we studied a little, and then I made my stew. It had a chicken broth base with carrots, sweet potatoes, broccoli, tomatoes, five kinds of beans, parsley, spring onions, and rosemary. It was quite delicious, so I decided to share some with Kiley since her birthday was the next day and because it made a lot. We watched part of Kung Fu Panda while we studied a bit, and we watched the beginning of Transformers 2 while we got ready for Monday.
