Thoughts:
Sorry about this delayed post. After lunch, my mum and I went out to SHOP. But not the typical AwesomeFunMaterialistic kind of shopping - no, it was shopping for NEPAL TREK.
Every November, my school has a week-long break from classes for CAS Week; the students (and teachers who choose to participate) get to select one trip, anywhere in the world, to undertake some CAS (Creativity, Action, Service) work. There are options ranging from local Hong Kong to mainland China, to New Zealand, France, and even North Korea (cray right?)! Some are service-based (like teaching mainland kids English or cleaning beaches), some are creativity-based (like Cooking in Hong Kong or, ahem, 'cultural' *cough* 'shopping' trips in Japan... [Tip: don't waste your CAS trip on 'cultural' trips]), and some are action-based (like Dance Around The World, Team BMX or NEPAL TREK!). This year, I chose Nepal Trek, a 12-day trek - legit - round about in the Himalayas. Yes - CAS (the school renamed it "Quest" Week last year... cringe much) Week lasts only one week, so we're leaving almost a week in advance, which is particularly demanding for us year 13s. Anyway, TREKKING. ALTITUDE OF 4,727m. -5˚C to +40˚C. 9 DAYS NO SHOWERS. ... Basically, I needed stuff. Outerwear, namely. And certain bits of gear. So that was shopping. It was actually quite fun. And I got protein and energy bars and gels for cross country season. I need to up my training this year, but don't worry, I'm not going full-on gym rat shakes and bars and gels. LOL me?
Aaand... That run? The hot weather warning was up. I was so disappointed. When we got home from Nepal shopping, it was 8pm. I had dinner, then wasted (spent) time on my laptop *sonotaddicted*, then collapsed in bed. I KEEP PUTTING THIS RUN OFF AND I'M WORRYING ABOUT MONDAY - OUR FIRST TIME TAKING THE [sedan] CHAIR OUT [for a run] THIS YEAR. It is going to be exhausting, I just know it.
Oh gosh. Before I sign off, I just realised I FORGOT TO JANOUT ON YESTERDAY'S POST. AH. ON THE POST BEFORE THAT AS WELL. AH. JANOUT.
