Ask and Ye Shall Receive

I asked for it…I was bored with the amount of school work I had, I didn’t know what to do with all those afternoons with nothing to do…and as of today things are school are starting to creep back to normal (i.e. McGill undergrad) levels of stress and work.
I have a group presentation to do [...]

Oh What a World

Glad to report that I went out with a bunch of girls from school tonight and had a really fun time…martinis seems to help a situation like that! No, I had very little to drink, but it was nice to be sitting outside on a lovely night just chilling with some girls who I [...]

Loves it…

Read this article in my latest issue of Maisonneuve last night. Loved it. It’s hanging on my frigde. It’s full of truth…especially the part about the non-showering people at tam-tams!
And this line, “True, this city is cheap, drunk and prone to dirty sex…” explains so much as to why my view of [...]

Feeling Kind Of Low

So, I went to the girls get-together tonight. It was fine. I miss my friends so much.
I don’t know what it is exactly. It might be the newness of the situation, but something is causing me to feel like I need to hold back. And then another part of me is [...]

How do people do this?

So, despite all the sceptics’ predictions to the contrary (okay, mostly just the Gay Husband, but he knows me pretty damn well), I managed to get out of bed a few minutes before 6 this morning. Got all my stuff together (so much stuff, it’s ridiculous: gym bag with towel, shampoo etc., mat bag [...]

G-Y-M!

I’m about to say five words that I never thought I’d say:
I just joined a gym.
But hey, desperate times call for desperate measures, and the fact that I had nowhere to practise was desperate so…I alleviated the desperation.
My plan for this evening had been to pick my car up from the dealership (yay, it’s fixed [...]

Frustrated

I was getting a lot of stuff done around the University Community Centre (UCC) today, so I figured I might as well swing by the gym and figure out the whole dance studio availibility situation. I was getting really pumped about the prospect of getting to school early to practise and then heading straight [...]

May 2-4

I went home for the long weekend (Victoria Day weekend here in Canada, AKA the May 2-4 weekend…as in a “24″ pack of beer…well, except in Quebec, where they’re all like, “Beh non, we’re not really Canadian, we have Journée nationale des Patriotes,” but nonetheless, it’s a nationally-celebrated long weekend) and deluded myself into believing [...]

Well that was….interesting

Hmm…not really sure how to react to that. That was an interesting led class. Thank goodness it was called ‘power yoga’ and not Ashtanga..I would have taken major issue with it had it been called Ashtanga.
Um, well…what’s to say? I got to the studio and it was really nice and inviting and [...]

New Led Class

I’m ditching the BBQ this evening in favour of a led “Power Yoga” class at Lotus Centre, one of the few yoga studios in London (well, certainly one of the few to offer anything Ashtanga-ish). I’ve been (not surprisingly) sore from my practice the other day, but I think my arms and shoulders are [...]

Nice to meet you, I do yoga

Hmm…just got invited to a BBQ on Wednesday night hosted by the communications department. Not sure how to explain to my meat-and-potatoes classmates that although a free BBQ sounds like a swell idea (grad students welcome any and all things “free” I “don’t eat no meat” (as per My Big Fat Greek Wedding). [...]

Question of the Day

Why is it that when I practise by myself I have incredibly good balance, but when I practise with anyone else I fall over about eight times during the balancing postures? Why? WHY?
Okay…gotta run over to Starbucks so that I can concentrate on my assignment…5pm deadline.
On my iPod: I Believe in a Thing Called [...]

Addendum

I just had one of the best practices I’ve had in recent memory. I wasn’t sure what to expect seeing as I haven’t practised really since I moved, I’ve never practised in this space and, quite frankly, I’m often fairly undisciplined when it comes to home-practices. So I wasn’t sure how far I [...]

Busy days…again

Hmm…that’s strange, my “On this day in the year…” function isn’t working. It used to work. Odd. Anyway, on that note, on this day in the year 2004:
Saturday, May 15, 2004
I miss India. I miss India so much that I find myself looking up airfares to Bangalore from Canada and fantasizing about [...]

School Days

Eek…I’ve only been back in school for three days and I’m exhausted. I always find the first week back at school really tiring…getting used to the routine of having 6 hours of class/writing assignments a day, keeping busy still getting to know everyone in my class, thinking a lot etc. It doesn’t help [...]
