An Afternoon at the Lake

Last Sunday, DH and I went swimming at the lake after bookshopping. We had other plans but it was just too hot! The only way to enjoy the rest of the day was by frolicking in the water. We discovered Westcliff Park, a nice camping site on the south shore of Lake Belton, thirty minutes away from our house.

We stayed for a couple of hours. Long enough to relax, destress and recharge us for the week ahead. I love the calming and soothing effects of the water; be it ocean, river, lake, etc. There's something liberating in just submitting yourself to its flow.

In the Thick of Summer Classes

I'm back! Did anyone miss me? Hehe. Maybe it's time to start telling friends that I have a blog (or maybe not :D)

I've been busy taking my first summer classes in a long while, and coping semi-successfully with the accelerated workload. The tricks that I used last Spring Semester are not working for me this summer. In other words, I have to study more. Ack. Okay, I will stop boring you with my academic pursuits.

I'm reviewing for my exam, but summer thoughts keep popping in my head, vying for attention. I can't believe it's already August! I want to do gazillion stuff, but I'll be happy if I could at least do the following:

*Swim in the lake (went to the lake with the nieces but didn't get to swim)
*Bike around the neighborhood (I may have to wait for Fall since it's too hot right now)
*Kayak (tentative birthday plan)
*Picnic at the park (already bought a picnic blanket, gotta buy a basket)
*Go tubing
*Go to the newly opened nearby water park (it looks fun but always packed)
*Go camping (I'm ok with renting a cabin but hubby wants the whole shebang. We don't even own a tent)

Wish me luck! I hope everyone enjoys the rest of the summer. Now let me get back to my anatomy books. Tata!
