I missed practice due to ladie's holiday and quite frankly being totally knackered from the cold and the anti-biotics. I slept 12 hours straight. Violetta and C came to wake me up for breakfast so I had pancakes and fruit salad, all delish. It's funny I have eaten so much here but my combats are looser than when I arrived. It must be due to all the healthy food (apart from the pancakes of course and Anu's chocolate pie and deserts).
I then went and did a few hours Phd work, which was very productive, I'm getting somewhere. At some point I have a chat with my advisor through skype about it all. I'm glad I've done quite a bit this last week.
Yesterday afternoon consisted of chilling out mostly chatting and drinking chai, having a chat online with friends in the UK and elsewhere, relaxing. This afternoon we're off to the reservoir and the fountain gardens. It should be nice. I won't get a great deal of time to do much sightseeing after the 16th as the massage course starts and it's pretty intensive and time consuming. I'm glad I'm doing it though, it'll be really interesting and it's a skill which is nice to have, you can use it on your tired and stressed out friends and family.
Everything is relaxed here, apart from Krista who had her laptop stolen and someone appear in her room in the night. That's really really bad, I feel for her. If you're reading Krista, come and use my laptop at Anu's whenever you need to. It feels pretty safe here, but like everywhere in the world, you have to be careful.
Everyone I've spoken to seems to be taking some kind of class, usually several. I've happy to do the massage course as it's a different way of working for me, using my hands and my body rather than exclusively my head all the time. I don't want to sit in sutra class or sanskrit or something, I do enough studying at home.
