Mid semester stress, but still hopeful

@ 10:30 AM (20 months, 5 days ago)

I had some major stressors this week get lifted off my shoulders. Severalstudents pressed our professor in Shakespeare classto move the date of our paper to be Wednesday. We were all excited when he relented to us, especially since I had not even begun to work onmine, and I need to print out the pictures I need from the sites. I'm very pleased. There wasalso a resheduling for an exam for cultural anthropology to next monday instead of this one. I'm pretty excited. My portfolio for Creative Writing is due in the middle of April and I've got another portfolio due in a week. Haven't really looked atthat either. Got nine bucks out of someused CD's at Capitol Music, that was nice. I feel as though I wasted five bucks at Walmart, as I sused a gift card to purchase some apples and some bananas. The bananas are fine, but I'm not so sure about the apples. Kind of mushy. Might just eat them anyhow. I could dice them and throw themin the freezer or put them on oatmeal. I'll take a bit out of one more and if that's the case I'll freeze or cook them. I guess that's what I get for settling for sale apples. I should just stick with the ones in mesh bags that look prettiest. I didn't used to be like that. I would settle forsecond best. I'm tired of being that way. Time for quality in life!

Prices keep going up for meat,milk....basically everything. The Old Dairy had bananas on their counter fifty cents a piece, so I had two of them for breakfast and my coffee. Much better for me than bacon and eggs! Much cheaper too! Bigger bang for the buck! I have been eating more fruits and veggies lately. I feel strange about ittoo, but good. I notice that my mind is clear forsomereason. Usually reading shakespeare is drudgery, buttoday it gelled. Must be the fruits and veggies! There are conclusions that scientists are making about the quality of breakfast kidseat afffecting their grades in school! I believe it!

Take care!

  2. Ya, I've pretty much moved away from a strict ramen diet, as they are pretty empty. I had another of thoseapples, and this last one I had this morning wasn't too bad, so I'll just eatthem quickly. I like having ramen for a snack. I've got two boxes of mac and cheese, with the acket of cheese in sauce form. Those are wonderful! I leave a little bit of water in the pan so that I can have more liquid for the cheese. I like them saucier. I put a bunch of garlic powder in there formore flavor. I live for garlic! I'm not social, so it's no problem right now! I don't thinkit will last once I get done with school. Might have to watch myintake there, as I'll be in my hometown, and morelikely to meet someone! Not interested in college crowd.
