Pictures!

Finally uploaded some of the pictures I took from the first weekend here

Down Town San Antonio!

My appartment...just kidding. But I really cool building down town.

                             A mother duck and her babies. I was surprrised she let us get so close!

                                                          Part of the Riverwalk.

       A palmtree!!! I was so excited to see some of these! TJ and Kati have a    little baby one growing in their back yard.

The Tower of Americas! I think there is a place to eat at the top, but I think it's expensive.

The Riverwalk! I wouldn't swim in it though, it's pretty gross up close. They do tours up and down the river all day long.

House Alarm!

My brother has an alarm set on their house to keep them safe with different settings on it. I totaly forgot about it this morning and when I went to let the dogs out was hit with a horrible surprise! I think I ran around in circles for a good 10 seconds before I remembered the passwork to turn the stupid thing off. It's SO much louder than I thought it would be too! I guess that makes sense so it can wake you up in the middle of the night.

Studying has been imposible today. I've been super distracted by everything! The cars going by, the notebook paper infront of me that I can't stop doodling on instead of taking notes, the dogs that keep doing weird things. It doesn't help either, that all the work I'm doing right now is online, so I have access to facebook and failblog DX Hopefully tomorrow will get better.

It's also freakishly hot today! When I let the dogs out I was hit with a rush of wicked hot air. The weather channel says the high for today was 106 F and I don't doubt it! Ughhhh.

Water Water!

I find that I have to drink more water here than I did back in Virginia. The first couple of days were difficult when it came to dehydration. I had a headache and felt SO thirsty in the mornings. It’s also slightly dissatisfying knowing your urine isn’t clear (maybe that’s more from a runner’s standpoint but…) Tee hee

I’m not much of a fan of water by itself either. I mean after a long work out, or first thing in the morning I like the crisp taste of cold water, but elsewhere when I want something to drink it’s so tempting to grab the bottle of coke.

So wondering around wal*mart the other day I found bottles of Mio they were selling. I know a friend of mine back home drinks them a lot and I’ve seen the commercials but hadn’t really tried it myself. … That stuff is freaking awesome. It’s like kool-aid

So here is to hoping if I can mix my water with yummy things, life will be less of a headache.
