GoodLife

I am currently a member of GoodLife Fitness for various reasons one being it is a great facility (what is not to like, really), it is 5 min drive from my place, it has many locations across Ontario (which makes it very convenient for me when I am traveling for work), last but not least, my husband (Husband) has a corporate discount on its membership. Today plan was to put my two hours of free time in a good use. Since I love spinning, I planned to attend the 9:15 am class and then spent an hour or so in the weight room. However, universe planned another thing for me. I went to the spinning class and half way through, I realized that my head is spinning. Being the smart arse that I am, I left the class to rush to my car. I had a Gatorade waiting for me in the car. However, I did not make it. When I got to the front desk, I got cold sweats and kind of fell/lay down on the floor. They gave me a Gatorade and as much as I insisted afterwards to pay for it they refused.
I am wrapping up things at work and this week will be my last week at my current job (yay). I am not that busy but I should be available in case my colleagues who are over taking my projects have any questions or need more information.
Other than that I am keeping it low.

The beginning of my three years journey as a PhD Student!

I started this blog to document my daily new life as a PhD student. I had been student before (obviously), however, this time I want to maintain a healthy life style both physically and mentally. I truly think it is possible and just needs some in advance planing. My classes will start in September (2011). As much as I am excited about it, I am a bit stressed too. I welcome the challenges to come and am ready to meet them head on!
