10-01-10

I’m freeeeeee!  I made it through Hell Week; although the real hell will be next week when I get my grades back – let’s just say my 4.0 semesters streak has ended!

I was feeling pretty sickly when I left the house this morning, so I told my immune system to buck up and gave it a serving of Blueberry POM juice, cut with club soda.

…..I also asked Ulrick to help drive away germs with his bear armour.

We didn’t have 230 until 9:30 today which meant I also got to sleep in a bit.  We had a guest lecturer who works as a Renal RD and she was fascinating.  I volunteered (just making beds, running errands, etc) in the dialysis unit at the hospital all last year and it brought up a lot of dietetics-centric questions for me.

I used the 2hour break between classes to finally study for my Orgo exam.  I snacked on a serving of Juju Ghosts from Target while I worked.

Sidenote – I’ve been stockpiling all things pumpkin and Halloween since this summer!  I’m crazy, so I refuse to even acknowledge their existence until October.  10-01-10 is a big date for me!  Expect to see an explosion of black and orange.

Not as exciting was the Orgo exam, which I most definitely failed.  I am making reading over my notes every day/weekend a major priority, I never want to be in the cramming position again (that sounds dirty!)!  Although when I got to Anatomy I did found out that with the (huge) curve I scored a 90% on that exam.

I walked to the co-op to buy (humane) meat after school and those of you who follow me on Twitter already know what I did along the way –

Tall, nonfat, iced, half syrup Starbucks pumpkin spice latte!

It’s actually a very busy weekend so the plan for tonight includes finishing the grocery shopping, the first home cooked dinner of the week, some baking, and hopefully a long stretch session!

Have you had a PSL yet this year?  When does fall “officially start” for you?

  1. Hi, I’m also new-ish to the B-Lo. I’m something of a failed runner. I get lazy and skip it a lot. Maybe I’ll actually get the mojo some day…

    Also, I tried something new today – maybe you’d like it. I put about a teaspoon of canned pumpkin into my hot chocolate (Swiss Miss diet – 25 calories!) and stirred really well, adding about 1 tblspn of Silk french vanilla creamer to that as well. I whipped it up and sprinked pumpkin pie spice on top. Yum! So easy.

    • Welcome to Buffalo! (and welcome to Eating Chalk!) That does sound delicious, I’ll have to try it if I can get my hands on some hot chocolate before I eat up all my pumpkin 😉

  2. The cramming position! Ha!

    Fall officially starts for me on September 1st! But October is my favorite month ever, and today did not disappoint. 😀

    Happy weekend!

  3. Haha I actually had a PSL today at Starbucks today! I’ve been waiting for October for months! I only drink them from October to Thanksgiving, that is fall to me! : )
