It’s a wrap!

After lounging around for a bit, I decided to hit the gym. Since I don’t trust my knee to run yet, I hopped onto the elliptical for 50 minutes. I’m really not a huge fan of the elliptical but it’s better than nothing and much less of a production than swimming, which I wasn’t in [...]

Lazy lunch

I had planned on heading to the dining hall for lunch but when it started raining, I decided against it. Walking anywhere in the rain is just not fun so I avoid it when I can. Thankfully I had some lunch-worthy things in my refrigerator so I really didn’t have to worry about going out [...]

Feeling snacky

It’s been quite a snacky afternoon; because I got into the groove of studying I didn’t want to take a big long break for lunch and I ended up having a series of smaller snack-meals instead. I probably should have stopped and taken a break but I knew that if I had gotten out of [...]

Impressionable appetite

As usual, my break from studying consisted of turning on the Food Network and watching an episode of Everyday Italian. On this episode she made a wonderful looking sandwich using a baguette, tuna, artichoke hearts, and black olives. Just watching her put the sandwich together made me salivate. So of course I developed a hankering [...]

Perfect day for some soup

Although it’s not cold or damp out, it sure is rainy. And rainy weather puts me in the mood for soup…which is guess is perfect considering I’m still trying to be gentle on my stomach. The only soup I had in my room was Amy’s Butternut Squash and I was a bit nervous about it [...]

Aaaah……

I had the most divine Sunday ever. Usually I’m not a fan of Sundays because Sunday brings Monday and the back-to-the-grind routine but today made up for every single bad Sunday I’ve ever had. About 10 times over. Today was not productive in the traditional sense; if you measure productivity by the amount of work done, [...]

Takin’ a break

Studying is going extremely well…I am getting so much done! I’m incredibly impressed with myself; I just need to keep up with this productivity.
But of course I needed to take some breaks. Good nutrition is extremely important during long study periods because it helps with mental alertness and energy in general. I know that when [...]

Veggies and Fruit!

A few hours after eating breakfast (and multiple mugs of caffeinated tea later), I realized that my stomach was growling. So, instead of ignoring the hunger signals and waiting until lunch to eat something, I grabbed a handful of baked almonds and snacked on them while doing some reading for psychology. It’s amazing how something [...]

Meh

After chem I was in a lousy mood; I broke a beaker in lab and my partner and I could not get along today so that definitely set my mood. I walked all the way to the gym (which is on my way home from lab) and, at the last minute, decided that I really [...]

Is it Friday yet?

I. am. exhausted.
A lousy night’s sleep + 3 classes + 1 extra hour of chem + only a 1 hour break = a very loooong Monday. But I made it. Somehow I don’t feel like tomorrow will be any less busy but I’ll make it through tomorrow too!
Lunch was great. I found a secluded, quiet [...]
