no exclamation point

I realized that almost all my other blog posts have been titled with an exclamation point, so I'm putting a stop to that. I will not become excited about anything else. ever.

This weekend was relaxing, I've been running some more which is really nice. And no more pain! Perhaps lots of biking has helped to strengthen muscles that need strengthening. Who knows. but I'm happy about it.

Today it was actually sunny! I went up with Giselle, a girl from Hong Kong who lives on the floor below mine, to the highest point in Lund. It's about maybe a 15-20 minute walk west, and it's absolutely gorgeous.

See that small bump right behind me? That's the tallest point. So up we walked until we were able to see...this loveliness. It's been raining a lot (have I mentioned that?) so there is a mini lake in the middle of the field, but when it's warmer and drier, I bet this is an amazing place to go and have a picnic or go running or whatever you want to do. There were some people out there playing catch, but it's way too cold and windy for me to imagine having fun with that.

Apparently you can also see Copenhagen from here, but I think Copenhagen is just about due west, and we were here when the sun was starting to go down and was blindingly shining from the west. I'll head back up there some other time and take a look :-)
It was quite windy up there, as is to be expected, but a nice walk.

But now I've got to get back to thinking about lab things. I wish weekends went on forever. Hopefully I'll get into Malmö next weekend if it's not raining on Saturday... All the shops are closed on Sundays, so there isn't too much of a point going into towns.

I'll let you guys know if I see another squirrel!

CHARLISS!!! I'm actually writing you an email right now. I have to say Lund looks beautiful and I'm really jealous of all the green I don't think I've seen that much green in months. And isn't it cute how they paint all the houses natural colors and they kind of blend into the landscape and don't hurt your eyes? please please tell me you noticed that, I think that's what I loved most about the landscapes over there.
miss you, and I would call you but someone conveniently doesn't have a cell phone!
