I am a breakfast person

The past couple days I've had to run out of the house before getting a chance to make a proper breakfast. As skipping breakfast is just not ok, I've finally gone out and bought myself a pack of mini muffins so that I can eat on the go! Brilliant. Two days research, and I'm finally starting to feel productive. I haven't done any real research yet, just flipping through the medical ethics and psychiatry books I took with me from last year. But it's still something. And I just read an article that has gotten me a little inspired, so I'm thinking tomorrow I'll find some new material at last. My desk is slowly being covered by post-its, and will soon start growing piles of paper. There is no phone reception, maybe that's a good thing? And tomorrow will be my first day teaching in the lab...cannot wait to show freshmen how to use a microscope...

Yesterday, my running buddy and I went on a 4 mile run. It seemed like a great idea at the time...minus the fact that I haven't actually run in nearly a year. Needless to say, my legs are a bit angry with me today, and by 'a bit' I mean 'a lotta bit'. Will need to work on this... Also, I think I'm going to try going to yoga with one or two of my flatmates later this week; that might be more my speed...

And life in the flat is still fantastic. We've started to make a habit of cooking dinner together once a week, though we end up eating together more often than that. This week's family dinner: lasagna. I cannot wait.

EDIT: So far this week the weather has been incredibly beautiful and that makes me very happy. Think perfect sunny autumn day. However, I may have tripped up some stairs on my walk home this afternoon partially distracted by the weather and partially because my legs still hate me...
