Beautiful Earth

Only my Nederlands tests was today, and I actually was able to read the story which we had to answer questions from. Thankfully it wasn't a spelling test. The story was about the exploration of using Spider Silk in materials that need unsurpassed strength but also need flexibility like cables on a bridge. Then we hung out in the mess hall/cafeteria/ eating area/ but also a stage/ room/ what ever you want to call it, until I went home to study.

After studying for a good amount of time and not getting too far, I went on a run. And this time I went far. My time was 1:08:04, from front door to front door. I was running at an almost constant pace of which I'm guessing is around 6:00-6:10 minute mile, so I did nearly ten miles and in kilometers that's sixteen some! Later tonight I have fencing as well, so I'm not too sure that it was a good idea but I feel great right now. My knee feels fine too for anyone wondering, I can't say how it will feel later though.

Time for more studying and more amazing films from Viemo below!

NASA has given the world a magnificent view of our home, the Earth. It is truly amazing how so many beings, large and small, live in near harmony on a single ball of rock floating through the vacuum of space. Filmed by the ISS crew, Mother Earth shows of her beauty, and power. Start both the videos at the same time (for the YouTube you will have to wait a few seconds until music begins so take that into account, also its an ambient Deamau5 piece not bass thumping progressive house), turn the sound off of for the Viemo video, and enjoy (another tip: click the HD to see it in HD on Viemo)! Oh leave names of locations and time in the comments for a prize!
