new place

hello, friends and family! just a quick hello from my new place.

las vegas was great. moore and i stayed at planet hollywood. we reminisced about the good old grade school days. we even joked about getting hitched while in vegas ;).

first day of pilates

so i can now count three fitness activities i enjoy. walking, yoga and pilates!
the studio is about 5 blocks away from my new place. they are running a 2-week special so it's a great time to begin pilates.
alissa (australian "hostel-mate") and i actually woke up very early this morning to go to the studio only to discover that they were closed. we just ended up walking on the monon trail starting at the south broad ripple area (54th street) this morning. we also had omelets and biscuits at a local diner afterwards. it was an enjoyable walk with profound conversations about love, spirituality,and philanthrophy among other things.

i took a quick nap and shower after we got back and got ready to go to school. today was my first day of radiology clerkship. exciting times! i decided to take a walk to the hospital and catch the people mover. after our orientation lecture, i met with my research advisor and discussed my research project. yes, i actually do some hard work aside from all the fun stuff i write about here :). after promising her that i'll get the project done, i took the people mover again and walked home. after a couple of hours working on my research project, i then walked to my pilates class.

one new thing about me, i started wearing tank tops. i used to not like showing skin since i didn't want to risk being "provocative". but i realize that i'll be in my 40s soon. i think that there is a huge difference between being provocative at 16and when you're 32 ;). when you're older, you're probably more concerned about being fit rather than just looking good for vanity. i must say though, i take a second look now of guy's biceps and abs. i hope that's ok :).
