Weekend Things and “Kyle Kooks”

Hope everyone is enjoying their Saturday, mine is going a little slowly due to a late Friday night, but it was worth it for the fun!

My Friday started off with an early 8-9 a.m Biochemistry lecture, but it wasn’t too difficult waking up for class since it was my only one of the day (woohoo!). The lecture takes place in a building that’s only a 30 second bike ride from the campus gym, so I donned my workout clothes to class as to not give myself any time to talk myself out of a much-needed sweat session.

In the end, I’m glad I got myself up and going because I had a great 35 minute elliptical workout followed by leg day and left feeling energized and ready to take on the day!

 I spent the rest of my morning on my computer reading blogs (I should have been reading class notes) and browsing possible recipes. At around 12:30, Kyle and I headed over to grab some lunch at one of the closer dining commons in relation to our apartments. While some young adults find it harder to eat healthy at college, I’ve always found in much easier. There are plenty of fresh and healthy options, and the salad bars are stocked with anything and everything you could possibly want in life. It’s a beautiful sight to see.

That afternoon, Tiana and I headed out to play some tennis with two foreign boys who we recently met and also live in our apartment complex. One is English and one is Irish, and I think that all girls can relate when I say accents are the CUTEST thing ever. We didn’t play too seriously and it was a blast getting to know some new friends and talk about the cultural differences they’ve been experiencing!

 Like I mentioned before, my Saturday started off slowly and was pretty uneventful. I spent a few hours studying and reviewing notes, but the highlight of my day was curling up with Kyle to watch a movie (we re-watched Temple Grandin- such a fantastic movie) and eat Mud Pie ice cream. I love documentaries and movies based on true stories that make you think, so this film was a winner! 

 Tomorrow’s plans include a workout, Farmer’s Market, and studying/completing school work at Starbucks. Fun stuff! 

Oh, and before I forget, I’m trying to persuade Kyle to start a mini-series of his adventures in learning how to cook. Primarily because I can then make him feed me and we could call it “Kyle Kooks”. Adorbs.
