Settling into pattern
It's true how days pass so quickly when you study.
Today I've been on campus since 9am. It's now 11pm.
I spent most of the day in the language centre doing french exercices preparing for the exam on Friday. Then, I came to the library, where I left my laptop and worked on Service Operations Management. Focus on Service Recovery and Guarantess. Basically, if the service fails, how you make customers complains, deal with the complaints and retain and satisfy them. Simple concept, yet why is there so much to talk about? Formalized models and theories about customer behaviour, common sense packaged nicely.
My highlight of the day is swimming. I go exercising everyday now, one, because I get to relax and procrastinate, two, because I really need to move after sitting down so much. I've been swimming every other day, in between I've tried different classes... yoga, pilatis, body balance, boxercise etc. I've become strangely addicted to working out, which I have never felt before! Hopefully this is one benefit of revising that will stay with me after I'm done with exams.
So I'm finally settling into a pattern. Study, exercise, eat (lots of salads, sandwiches and soup) and sleep. And a cup of coffee a day. And power naps (i.e: passing out on the table). I find a lot of silly things funny, and laugh a lot. I try to glue myself to people as often as I can so I don't get too isolated. It seems to work, so let's cross our finger that this is going to hold out for another few weeks or so.
