August 24
I got up for my one and only class today at 8:30. After that I came back and relaxed a bit and tried to do get a few things done. In the afternoon I had to collect more data for my group project, but that wasn't too bad. I decided with my first five days of spring break I wanted to go to Perth, Western Australia. I went to the STA travel center on campus today though, and apparently the cheapest I can get a ticket is $530ish now. I guess I wasn't too surprised since it's one week away. I kinda waited a long time before deciding what to do. Anyway, I think I decided that I'm not going to go to Perth for now at least. I'll have to find something else more local to do, perhaps, for a few days before departing for Cairns. Perhaps later this year I can take a 3-day weekend trip to Perth if I can get a pretty cheap ticket ahead of time. We'll see. It was a nice thought at any rate.
This afternoon I walked to the grocery store and went grocery shopping. My left foot (plantar fascia) hurt at one point where I almost didn't want to walk on it at all. It went away about 5 minutes later though. My right hamstring is also sore today, probably from doing a step-up exercise as a research subject for one of the other groups in my class (they're doing a heart rate study). The combination of these two things, and the fact that I had a bunch of things to accomplish today, kept me from running this afternoon like I had originally planned. I think I'll try running tomorrow though and see how it goes.
Walking around outside today I noticed how incredibly spring-like it seemed. Although it was mostly cloudy and the occasional light sprinkle of rain, I had a long-sleeve shirt on with the sleeves rolled up most of the day. The increased humidity caused by the rain, a light breeze, and an increase in blossoms on various shrubs all made it feel like a wonderful spring day back home. It will be nice when it stays consistently as warm as it was today (it was apparently up to the very low 60s today. :)). I'm going to get spoiled over break when I go up to the tropics and then come back to this "cold" spring-like weather!
