A Trying Tuesday

Yes I know its late, but its been a long day and what's another hour or so? So the last time I updated I talked about my first encounter with Lenoir as a vegetarian and the salad bar. Well since then I've taken many a venture. I went home on Friday for some family time and... Ok, I had to take a "Defensive Driving" course to get a speeding ticket revoked. Speeding is a particular vice of mine. Anyway, the thrill of a home cooked meal was too much for my little heat to handle and I sat there at my wonderful family dinner table and tucked in. My mom made pork chops.

Ok, all aboard the fail train.

But seriously you guys, they were delicious... and not a bit sketchy.

So I arrived back to the hill relieved of my sins and ready to start anew. Which I did quite successfully thank you. And I will tell you all about those adventures later, but tonight's theme is of defeat. Did anyone see our weather today? That was a rhetorical question because only unless you were a deaf hermit would you have not noticed / been drenched in our weather today. Well anyway, my morning started off with a few clouds, a little sunshine, then it began to drizzle, and suddenly it was pouring and I left my rain boots in the dorm. I had two exams today in classes I'm a little less than poor in and that was a bit disheartening, and then I began my three hour trip on a city bus trying to find the middle school I'm volunteering at, and I came home drenched from head to un-booted toe only to find my exam scores.

It was raining and I needed a break. I had just trekked miles in the rain and dinner called at Lenoir? I don't think so! Dinner at a decent place on Franklin? Hell no. Greek chicken leftovers in the fridge? Yes please! And again, I sat there at my wonderful family dinner table - bed anyone?- and tucked in.

All aboard the fail train!

But its alright, once in a while I can slip in the puddles and eat awesome greek chicken.

P.S.
If you don't have a Greek roommate, I highly suggest it.

  1. Is there anymore room aboard the fail train. Yea that is how I feel right now. So the past couple of weeks, the temptations of Lenoir and Ramshead has caused me to really overeat. Realizing that I could feel the infamous "Freshman 15" knocking at my door, I decide that its time to go on a diet and get healthy. So I had everything planned out: no pizza, burgers, ice cream, etc. and would only eat salad, vegetables, and other healthy foods. I completely failed, didnt even make it a day without consuming a slice of pizza. I am a failure. But I have worked out twice this week, and I am tonight. But will be tempted again at Lenior or Ramshead for dinner...great.

  2. I want Pork Chops extremely bad now... Today is Rom Kappor, and even though I am not Jewish I am going to fast in support of my suite mates. Mostly I want to see if I have the will to refrain from eating for a whole 24 hours. I personally do not think that I can do it... But alas, I will try! If I fail so be it, hopefully there is room on the fail train for me as well!

    Good Luck eating veggie!
