Tasty Treats

November 9, 2011

Just as I'd expected, this week is bringing a lot, and I mean A LOT, of stress. I'm finding myself going over and over and over my schedule making changes here and there, then changing them back, then just shaking my head before putting it to the wall. Hard. They say there are three things involved in college: Good grades, social life, and sleep. You only get to pick two. Well, to me, it's almost like you only get to pick one. Ya-freaking-hoo.

So the stomach issues are resolving little by little. As I had stated in my previous post, I was fine Saturday and Sunday. Monday wasn't too bad. Felt some more pressure again on Tuesday, but thankfully it went away after about two hours. For right now, I'm justing waiting for it to kick in again. But, when one thing is alright, another thing will go wrong. For instance, I spent all of Tuesday with a charlie horsed knee. It felt like I was constantly fighting an old woman moment a.k.a. falling flat on my behind because my knee was threatening to give out. I don't mean to whine, but it's the truth.

I'm pretty surprised right now that my stomach isn't doing poorly again because I've been living off the vending machines and Cougar Express for breakfast. Bagel on Monday, bagel with cream cheese on Tuesday, and a nice, healthy, super delicious hot fudge sundae poptart today. Mmm~ I feel so healthy. I don't dare weigh myself. I'm pretty sure I've fallen victim to the Freshman 15. I'm walking around a ton more now since I don't have a car but I highly doubt it's any compensation to the crap I've been eating. Sure, I cook now, but it's really only dinner that gets attention. All breakfasts and lunches are thrown to the wind. Whatever. At least I'm not building a wall of poptart boxes. And at least I offer up any sweets I make to my roommates. Let me just say, that is one really fast way of getting rid of calorie filled foods. Helps me know I can make edible stuff too.

Thanksgiving isn't coming soon enough. I really just want to gorge myself on my mother's homemade food and then sleep and then get up at an ungodly hour to go shopping for Black Friday. The older you get, the more you love Thanksgiving. Christmas will always be tops. October through April is filled with holidays. Makes me wish the summer months were more festive besides Independence Day, which my family seems to no longer want to celebrate. (I love fireworks. Sure, it's burning money, but this is America. It's what we do.)

Alas, now it's back to studying for a Biology quiz and looking at the information my group has posted about Global Warming so that I can get started on putting the presentation together.
