Busy Day Ahead!

April 24, 2008

Today is my last long day at school :mrgreen: First up is my fluid mechanics final exam at 8:30, then a short break followed by my computer science exam at 12:30. This is the second CS exam, I wrote the paper one on Monday and today’s exam is actually on a computer. I’m a bit nervous because it will be graded electronically, which means that one little typo will lose me a lot of points since no one actually reads the programs we write. Did that last sentence even make sense? If not, let’s just say that I’m a bit nervous! After that exam, I have a 30 minute break before I have to meet my partner to discuss our assignment that’s due in another 30 minutes. Hopefully she’s got it all figured out because I don’t even remember how I did my half anymore :oops: After all of that I have a PJ party with a kids group I volunteer with. I have to admit, supper may just be cake :oops: I’ll try to pack some food to take with me, but that’s getting a but scarce around here :mrgreen:

With this busy day in mind, I’m spreading my meals into mini meals today. Each meal isn’t really complete in the sense of having all the food groups but I will try to get them a in at some point throughout the day! Breakfast is the simplest of muesli’s – just oats and yogurt. I didn’t even have a piece of fruit on the side, but you can bet that I’m having some caffeine before my exam!

Snack number one is a larabar

Yes, I took that photo last night in my semi-dark room as I was packing :lol:

Snack number two, more of a meal, is leftover cauliflower curry and black rice. It would probably hold me better if there was some protein, but I don’t know what I feel like eating with this so it will be on it’s own.

Other snacks I’m bringing with me to eat as I need them are carrots, peppers and a kiwi


Pasta? Pizza? Maybe Both!

Another day of study study study! I broke it up today though with a class and a trip to the store, where I bought a larabar for tomorrow. Yes, I went all the way there for a bar to eat between exams! I think the real reason was for a study break though :mrgreen: It was a beautiful day to walk outside too!

Lunch was leftover pasta from the other day. I’m too tired to remember what it was called (from Looneyspoons though), but it was good again as leftovers.

Sorry for the blurry photos, I’m not a good photographer today!

I got a bit hungry during the afternoon (or it may have been exam nibbles… hard to tell) so I had a bowl of yogurt and a kiwi. I found a steak knife that wasn’t packed, so I even managed to cut it!

So, I would really have loved some pizza for supper but that just wasn’t in the plan for today. What did I have instead? A pasta pizza, no recipe again though because it’s from Looneyspoons again. Last one for a while though :P

On a side note, please excuse any typos – especially words with an L – my keyboard is being stubborn. Here’s what heppens when I hit L once llllllll GRRR! I don’t have time for computer problems now!

Oops, I almost forgot the most important part – the last of the soy chocolate PB ice cream!


Mocha Almond Oats

April 20, 2008

This is for you ChocolateCoveredVegan:

I realized that one of my happy face bowls still has it’s happy face so I took a picture. For those who don’t know, ChocolateCoveredVegan has the same bowl!

Back to breakfast, I made oatmeal with some vanilla almond milk and coffee. It is so yummy! It’s more almond-tasting than coffee-tasting because I only added a small amount of coffee, which is perfect!I I had a kiwi on the side for my fruit component, skin and all. My only complaint is that my bowl looks so empty without any add-ins! The only bananas at the store were so green that I’ll be moving before they’re ripe, so I have no bananas – the only fruit that sounds like it belongs in my bowl this morning :cry: I don’t even have any other cereals or nuts for crunch! Yes, that means you will be seeing a lot of oats for the next week and a half :P


Wishing for summer

April 19, 2008

It’s always so hard to focus as the end of the school year nears. Even though this year there’s still plenty of snow on the ground and it really doesn’t look or feel like spring, it sure feels like time to be done with school! I stopped at a sports store that was having a closing sale on the way to school this afternoon and bought two pairs of sneakers! The total was only $50 for one casual pair and one running pair. I won’t be able to wear them running because I really need to wear the perfect shoes for my feet (knee and foot problems) but they’ll be super comfy for walking around town!

Haha, looks like I love pink but they were really the only ones that were kind of nice!

I had a kiwi while making dinner, and I even ate the skin! Here it is on top of one of my cookbooks, can you guess where my dinner came from?

I made Gringo’s Star from, that’s right, Looneyspoons! I got a photo before taking it out of the pan because I was too impatient to serve it nicely :oops: There are a couple more servings though, so you might see a nice piece sometime (then again it might not look great after being nuked…)

Now I think I’ll sit on my bike and watch Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban! I made a deal with myself that I have to study or bike, but I can only watch TV if I’m biking!
