For the past few weeks, Tuscany has decided to repaint all interior and exterior walls to reflect the new change in management. Apparently for next fall, we will be getting a new gym, new sauna/spa, pool connecting to the lounge, and a lot more upgrades!
Then again...when I signed for Tuscany last year, they also promised me the spa/sauna plus personal trainers. So...we'll see. But in their defense, my leasing manager did say no one was using the personal trainers and they might not rehire them for the subsequent year. Honestly, who wouldn't take advantage of free trainers?
Back to painting... so my bedroom window was sealed for the past few days so the workers would be able to paint without ruining the panels.
It was a little bit of a drag since I love fresh air and sunlight. So I was elated they removed the seal the morning and I was finally able to recirculate my room with fresh air.
It was a bit awkward when I was sitting at my desk while the painters were removing the seal. We were literally 4 ft apart and only separated by a window! For some reason I don't think they saw me....but maybe they were just trying to ignore me (like I was doing) so things won't be even more awkward.
Anyways, onto more delicious things... I woke up super early today (6:30!) and was only in the mood for...you guessed it: a smoothie. Today's breakfast was made with oatmeal, spinach, carrot, banana, milk, and peanut butter topped with granola.
I finally realized that adding 1/2 cup of milk prompted the perfect consistency... but next time I'm going to try even a little less milk since I love almost ice-cream like smoothies.
This "super" smoothie was exactly what I needed to focus on my Cinema paper. I was so happy when I was able to crank out the entire outline and the first page by 8 am this morning! Doesn't seem like a lot of work? Let me tell you, I had to rack my brain to even get the paper started.
After this, I went to the library to study for OChem and biology. I also packed a snack for my studies: pitted dates, wheat thins, walnuts, and a slice of cheese.
And a note about why I got up so early. I recently downloaded this app called Smart Alarm Clock for Android. Check it out! http://blog.smart-alarm-clock.com/
Basically, I set a desired time to wake up and simply lay my phone somewhere on my bed while I sleep. Because the sensitivity of the motion detectors in the phone is very high, it'll be able to sense my movement throughout the night and calculate when it was the best time to wake up. 'm not sure of the exact science of it... there's more information on the website but sure enough, I am more awake than ever! (which is very hard to do when you wake up as early as 6:30)
I'll definitely try this again tonight and see I feel the same way tomorrow!
