highlights of the past week: (Aug 1st-7th)
didn't accomplish much in the lab the whole of last week. my equipment finally arrived, i think on thursday. also my prof. wasn't in town, so didn't put much enthu into research. the only thing i was serious about was going for swimming in the evenings. managed to do that on all 5 weekdays. also played soccer on wednesday.
on the weekend most of saturday went in sleeping. went out for dinner to a mexican restaurent, named gracias. i think i had a chicken fajita quesadilla. it was ok. on sunday had a 8-on-8 cricket match in the afti. my bowling got thulped, but was able to bat decently. made 28, with 6 fours (ps - there were only 7 fielders), but got out to a unlucky top edge. later in the evening my previous room-mate came over to see the new house.
movies seen: strictly ballroom, big fish, kimberly, blast from the past (3rd or 4th time)
