I have knicknamed this month March Madness. School is crazy with a million deadlines, I have signed up for 4 races, started my Masters and then there is Nadia's families birthdays. Nadia, Saba and Zemi all have a birthday in the next few weeks. March is just jam packed. Tonight we went over to Nadia's for a couple of hours to celebrate the wonderful human, Saba.
Although I am feeling busy, I still have to entertain Sebastian and the best way to do that is with pool parties. I get to check two boxes with one stone, both me and Sebastian get to see some friends. And as we had a holiday on Tuesday I had a pool party on Sunday and again on Tuesday. A Tuesday off seemed like such a waste but actually it was great. It meant Monday felt like a Monday and a Friday and then today a Monday but yet a Wednesday! And really I will take any holiday given.
This run was huge. I could not believe the amount of people. I have not seen anything like that for ages. What was very surprising is that they only had 1-3rd overall and no age categories. And usually when 1000's of people they at the very least have the top 5. The long and short is that I now know the devastation people must feel when they get 4th at the Olympics! Well not really, but it must leave a bit of a bitter sweet taste in their month. I came 4th, btu with no age category I should be happy. My prize a stuffed turtle! A cute one but still not a trophy!
I am so behind in the blog! In my head I had decided to do a Masters and then in two years I will change job. What I did not anticipate was actually having to do the work. On top of the busiest school I have ever worked at, Sebastian, running and just regular life things, I feel stretched. Nonetheless, it was great to take two time outs to see two different friends who were in Bangkok for conferences.
