I am mortally scared of being the girl who holds up the whole trek because she doesn't have the stamina.I get tired walking in the academic block.My legs hurt so much today.So if anyone has stellar, rocking stamina building tricks please throw them my way.I have hopefully hopefully till 2 am Wednesday morning.What if I'm not as athletic as I used to be?I 'll die. No I'll throw myself off a cliff (but the trek shall FINISH!).Actually, one can die God forbid.I have to sign disclaimers and all and YH sent out a mail saying nobody has to prove anything to anyone so please don't join one of the treks out of machismo and switch if you think you cannot handle it.
Went with Darryl and Moeen for coffee.As it is I have a thing for chaptas and this one is an exceptionally well built chapta with Ivy League stamped all over him (and confirmed).Speaks excellent Urdu. However, though extremely intelligent for an American (+10 right there and then another +5 for being chinky, -25 for not being a Samuri)and excellent to talk to, just not the sort I clicked with.O veeelll. At least he's doing an intersting PhD thesis.Lol.(SUCH a redeeming factor.Almost like "she's not married but she's got a PhD".And if you're not married and not a PhD, then to you are big dhabba on khandan.Lol!)He's looking at the Muslims who passed through Pakistan en route to Jihad in Afghanistan and their political training etc through the establishment.He's in LUMS because a) teaching very interesting course on law of wars (open attendance so I can go) and b) he needs to properly introduced to his research contacts because an American looking into Jihad is hardly welcome in the official circles of Pakistan and he said he hates being thought of as someone coming with a typical bias. He may be tagging with us on our UNDP research trip to speak to relief forces to find out about islamist forces who are forming the core of the rehabilitation programme in the earthquake affected areas. There are some militant groups who have resurfaced under different names and work with the government because of their outreach and knowledge of the people and the area. However I don't think D likes to party too much so I was fairly deflated at that point.
I pretend the pillars in LUMS are Saana or the B and hug them. Saroo said it's silly and Munchie said she would rather hug whales. Hugs are significant life affirming gestures. People I like to hug and who give nice hugs(and I give exceptionally good hugs, especially before exams and job interviews, also on weddings): Minchka, Munchie, B, Saana, KK , Zehra, Saroo, Beens, Poput and K (K gives fragrant hugs). Didn't say a single prayer today.Feel like a jodforsaken heathen.Which reminds me.Good huggers are also Ho Chih Minh- the Horny Bastard and Humay's Pink Panther- The Serial Humper.

serial humper? bahahaha *hugg* you made me laugh at the end of a very weirddd day, yayy.
You do need a lot of stamina to be able to go hiking...i was fortunate that when i went to chitral last year i didn't have to keep up with a bunch of veteran trekkies; only my chitrali guide who was extremely patient. One thing i noticed was that since the air up there is so thin you tire real fast. I would have to stop every couple of hundred yards to catch my breath and smoke a cig...don't mean to scare you but you should be prepared. You cannot possibly expect to build up stamina during these few days...all that will do is tire you when you should be conserving your energy.
Humay: All for you my wuv the loose panther will re-emerge.Will tell you story of how Sana Found Out.
Ahmad: So that meaaannss that I should be doing NOTHING ab.Adnan agrees (I drove his car today and am much impressed with his deadpan face and great encouragement despite my screeching turns in third gear).
waise i think one shouldn't be doing anything EVER since what's the point right? Adnan is really sweet...was probably scared to death but too nice to say anything. Besides he's not such a great driver anyways...i saw him reverse his car into a tree once:P
i want to know the story about how Sana Found Out NOWWWWWW!
Ahmad: *brandishes more ex-girlfriends* Don't you dare post-modern my trip. LOL. I SAW where Adnan hit the car.He was really upset you were there to see it.Lol.I got him a double chocolate cookie for being so nice.
