How the Great Fall

Ok, so I was planning to write another blog post about how great of a vegetarian I am. I was going to tell you that with the few small slip-ups and "breaks" I've been meat-free for almost an entire semester. Well, most of that is true. There have been slip-ups and "breaks" but for the meat-free part, well, after Thanksgiving, I've pretty much failed at staying a vegetarian.

I rode the (working) escalator up to Lenoir today to meet friends for a quick lunch before class. Nothing seemed appetizing and every line was moving at a snail's pace to be polite. The salad bar would have taken too long and the vegetarian stuff looked... well just weird. All I wanted was something filling to eat, and I wanted it fast and easy, no work involved.

And there it was, a beacon of light- cheese burgers and tatter tots called to me like a sweet dong bird from the forbidden grill station. The line was moving fast and I caved.

But this is not the only incident. In fact, since I've been back from Thanksgiving Break, I've eaten meat almost everyday and I only suspect this will continue or get worse as finals and stress close in on us.

Do I feel bad? Well, a little. I am proud of myself for my effort and I will definitely continue to try, but for the time being if you see me eat a smidgen of chicken at Lenoir... well, opps?
