I had lunch with Edward and Jiamin today. There are people you can talk about anything and everything with, and there are people you can't continue a 2 min conversation with. Too bad lunch was too short!!! But it was so nice to see a Penn face. I miss Penn people. Actually, I'm not sure if it's Penn or maybe there are just times when I ruminate and miss the past.

Today was TMAD. Test-My-Ankle-Day. After the week of in-bed, in-class ankle exercises, I decided that it was time to proceed to the real test. So I went to the gym. Elliptical... pass. Bike... pass. Then I hit the treadmill. Wah the first 2 minutes was.. ahem..a challenge. I tried to turn up the volume of my mp3 player so that I will not hear the voice in my head going ouch.ouch.ouch. but wah... quite painful ah.

Fast forward a few painful minutes. I felt a slight bounce in my step. I turned up the speed... 6.5..6.6.. boing boing boing boing. Yay!! Pain subsides from "Sharp" to "Sore" to "Tight". My ankle is now certified FTR. Fit-To-Run. But... unidirectional. Next I will proceed to changes-in-direction. Tomorrow shall be officially known as TMAD2.

Things are getting tough on the work front. I am trying quite hard I think, but there are days when I ask myself why I am even trying. I think trying to run with a sore ankle is easier than trying to graduate by June.

But otherwise, life is good. I'm going to miss a lot of people here.
