New Face for a New Year!
Filed Under Daily, Nikon D200 | Leave a Comment
I bought a tripod which allows me to take my own ID picture. Now I can say I have tried every single type of hair, from military short style to long hippie style. It was hard to have long hair. A lot of maintenance especially for a long distance swimmer but I made it! It […]

That seems to be all I need as sleep. If I have a power nap after my swim, I will have a hard time sleeping at 10 pm. Today was nice, good swim with very fast swimmers, I do not know where they come from but it seems there is a surge of excellent swimmers […]

Just one of these days…I forced myself not to sleep after the swim. Also tonight, no beers, no sleeping pills, no drink after 7 pm. Let’s see how things go. I need a nice long and continuous sleep!

Homework

Finally I managed to start the revision. It took a lot of courage and concentration. 6 questions per class, 12 in total since I have 2 classes. It does not seem too hard like this but it requires a lot of self motivation. I wonder how the others do. I bet they are just like […]

Scary Situation!

The laptop crashed and I had to reinstall several times. I thought it was time for the laptop to die. It was a bad timing since it happened on Christmas’s Eve. Luckily it was just the heat that made it unstable. Things seem fine now. There is a girl in my class who keeps on […]

I just finished a movie: Revolutionary Road. That was dramatic to the highest level. El Orfanato and Revolutionary Road are […]

Maybe I will try to do something different next year instead of spending this time of the year in my room. Hopefully a cruise in some hot countries or 2 weeks on a tropical island or in chalet and skiing. I am trying some herbal sleeping pills to see if they work. I have also […]

Lots of Rain but no Snow!

The weather’s dreadful in Manchester. Mainly Fog and Rain! If things go well, this will be the last winter of this type. I do not intend to have a lot of these in the future. Out of 6 flatmates, 4 of us stay here, quite unusual since many other people went back home. I’ve received […]

Little Events!

An old lady at the pool complained with the staff about a poor dude who grabbed her leg while doing backstroke. The poor chap has a bad style and large arms span while doing the backstroke arm move. She should be honored at her age having her leg grabbed by a man, methink! I like […]

The Desert!

The majority of students are gone after Friday. It was the last day of school. Now the University and the city itself is empty. I am used to these strong moments in the life of a university. For a university with 35 thousand students located in the heart of Manchester, the event is shocking nevertheless. […]
