random easter monday thoughts...


so, it was easter this weekend. a quiet, relaxing four-day weekend. And, i had nothing to do.



anthropology paper: finished.
imnola: finished.
master's degree: finished.

woo! it was ridiculous. today, i just thought "what the heck. i am bored." i had no idea what to do with myself. What do people do all day long!? anyone!?

On saturday afternoon, i went on a hike with my good friends Erik and Celine, on the northshore to walk Erik's dog. Up at the seymour preservation forest, which (oddly enough), i have never been too. The rainforest here on the west coast is amazing. and, as i was walking, i realized how much I am going to miss this. this being the outdoors, and the beautiful accessibility of the mountains and ocean and temperate weather.


so, here is a picture of me, sitting on an old water (?) pipe.

easter has been nice. i think that my favourite service in the church calendar is maundy thursday. what an epic idea. i think god was quite on top of it when he did that whole foot washing thing.

i am on a "oh no. i am approaching a weight that blinks a flashing red caution, you are approaching fatness." diet. ha ha! not really, i just feel that over the time that I was writing my thesis, my healthy eating habits when down the drain. So, I want to really be on top of that prior to going to haiti, because when in a developing country, you don't really have as much control over what you eat. so, I want to take advantage of it now.


racing a 10km on sunday. the sun run. north america's 2nd largest 10km race. should be pretty fun :) going to try for a 10km pb... perhaps approach 45 mins? but, there are always so many people there, it is pretty hard to get a pb...


planning on racing at shawnigan lake on may 24th. decided for the olympic distance. it is cheaper, and allows me time to not be as ridiculous about training as i pack my house up. (eeep! am i thinking about that already!?)





some photos from NOLA. thank you facebook.
