I suddenly remembered the psych thingey we studied in first year… about the initial excitement of being in a new place, then soon after comes shock, then homesickness sets in, etc. oh dearie me… for all I know it might just happen to me, knowing how I’m inclined to experience bouts of melancholy every now and then. still don’t know why it happens, but it does. oh I should grow up, haha.
anyway, yours truly overate again. what’s new. so I cancelled my meal plan for next week and will see how things go. will probably change it back again by the end of the week cus that will be the last time I can change it, but next week is just to take a short ‘hiatus’ from all the unhealthy overstuffing of my poor tortured self.
went to check out the state-of-the-art gym this evening too. it’s truly AWESOME (the word has been misused so often, but seriously, it really applies in this instance.) 4 floors of awesome gym equipment, high tech (ie. touch screens, iPod plug-ins, tv, etc)! just like the kind you find in the fullerton hotel gym except that is has 100 times as many machines. seriously. I was awestruck. I still am. and you know what?? it’s FREE. say it with me. F-R-E-Eeeeeeeeeee. what the…?! freaking uni of no-student-welfare has a pathetic unigym which costs $8 per visit and the freaking equipment is rusty and old. what the heck. the pool costs a heck lot too and it’s not even heated. here… it’s free free freeeeeee…. EVERYTHING!!! indoor pool, outdoor pool… everything!! okay. with the exception of special facilities like the climbing wall and stuff you just have to pay a tiny little fee. okay wadda heck man.
okay and finally, my favourite place (now practically my second home) the ice arena, is also free for public skates or if you require skates, rental is only $1. wow… seriously they have it good here. some people really don’t realise how lucky they are…
