lunch and gym

met two other phd students for lunch today. glad to have met them. one from england and one from georgia. that's exciting.
i also got a key to the student office room - a bit of a hefty deposit (25 pounds, and definitely not 5 as adrian thought). so i spent an hour and a half or so in there before going to the gym. not going to lie, my stay was prolonged by the crazy downpouring rain outside. been rainy alll day.

i did go to the gym though. the 'cv zone' is nice. what's even greater is that my ipod connects to the university's wireless. and if i wanted, i can connect it (or anything usb) to a power dock on most of the machines. i could also track my training via usb program, but i think i'll try to stick with dailymile for that tracking. (i'm gizmoteaches if you're also a dailymiler...which reminds me that mine is not up-to-date.)

the gym sadly does not have a pool. but it does have some classes. so hopefully i'll be able to find something. the weights are in a different area which is a bit more intimidating, but i'll see how i get on with the cardio first i suppose. and there are showers and lockers, which for today was fantastic (although i did get informed that our shower was fixed today - excellent).

anyway, i'm super excited to return to being able to go to a gym. hopefully that it's on campus will not deter me from going; hoping it will motivate me to both go to campus for both the office and gym (and library when needed).
