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?




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 😉
Fall starts when the leaves turn for me 🙂
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!
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! : )
