i'm at home now, listening to astro snore.
i couldnt be happier!
(actually, if the TV wasnt broken and I could be watching March Madness...)
haven't done this in a while. oops. getting sick got me so far behind, that i've been an anxious mess for a while. but really i've also had a lot of fun b/c after being sick, nothing has been able to make me 'freak out' b/c good LORD it feels great to be healthy. im happy about my decision to come home for spring break (instead of frisbee, which i havent been able to do b/c i havent been able to make it to practices b/c i've been spending all my time catching up) getting sick was really scary and time with astro and momma just feels like the necessary thing.
i'm back to full time veganism. my stint with an omelette-a-week and cheese every so often left me feeling gross. also, there was something bizarrely icky about having eating be so easy.
what else...march madness is wonderful. i've never followed college bball before, but now i dont know what i am going to do with myself when there arent 4+ spectacular displays of athleticism on tv a day. i really do wonder how different it must be for athletes who play sports that arent televised.
im going to the DR again this summer, with denny and some other students. the 'other students' should make it a lot of fun...(it was a lot of fun last year, too, but having more folks there won't hurt)
we played with a recruit who is definetly coming to oberlin next year - she's good. she reminds me of a gaby with a little more size and a little more toya. she'll help us out a lot. now we just need 5 more...lord help us.
back to studying for a chem quiz, which it is key that i do well on...(i need a C in this class) eeeeeeeek!
i ate a grilled cheese yesterday.
i ate an omelet today.
the omelet was pretty unappetizing.
cheese, on the other hand, is pretty yummy.
i ate the grilled cheese b/c i was in the place where we eat, really really sick, and nothing looked decent. there was vegetable mush, which on a day when i wasnt sick would have been fine, but i needed something substantial. so i got a grilled cheese. and then i did some thinking (b/c im really not capable of much more in this sicker-than-i-have-ever-been-state) and realized that im just lying to myself if i think im really getting enough protein...b/c i never eat those protein powders, i just don't.
so im still going to be a vegan i.e. im still not going to eat animal products when they are hidden in ingredients, but im going to eat an omelet every so often and have some cheese in normal cheese form every so often.
i havent eaten dairy in 4 years. yowza.
