My thoughts of the week, collected and written out.

Sitting outside on this beautiful Sunday morning, I remember the pizza I ate yesterday and weep into my coffee. For those who were unaware, at the beginning of my semester here I chose to abolish dairy and some other unhealthy things from my diet, and it has truly worked wonders for me. Now, I won't say it was not a challenge. To be honest, i never consumed high amounts of dairy beforehand, but the only thing that I find myself missing is cheese. Which is why I usually allow myself a cheat day where I indulge in a little something every now and then. This usually happens around every two weeks or so, however it has come two days in a row this week, and I am really feeling the after effects of it. I am sitting sluggishly, and hating myself for consuming the amount of pizza that I consumed with my friend over the past few days. However, I know it will be alright. I will power through this last week of class ahead, and stick strictly to my diet, and finish strong so that I may continue when I go home.

Anyways, enough about my eating habits. Something else I found myself wondering this week was how fast my first semester of college has gone. There is already only one week of class left. I have eight classes to attend before i move it, and that feels so good. I am ready to be home and working to make up some of the money I spent this semester, and save for next year. It has been a great semester, but this four month break could not come at a better time.

I wish everyone reading this luck on their last week of classes, and exams right after that! Now get out and enjoy the sun, it's supposed to rain most of this last week anyway.
