There are so many things to distract me from studying. Like the flowers. Every morning, right after waking up, I go running. To wake up, you know, and get some air. I started with this right after I got home from Liberia, which has given me the amazing opportunity to see the process of all the spring flowers starting to blossom on a day to day basis.
At first, there was only a couple of hepaticas showing their lovely faces. Then, entire hills were covered in blue.
And now, the entire forest is covered with wood anemones. Like a carpet, white and refreshingly green.
They require my attention. I can’t run when I’m surrounded by this fairy tale landscape. Instead I walk, and marvel, and yet another hour of my day goes to doing something else than writing my thesis.
