Surprise!

It’s muesli again! This time, my muesli was loaded (well, by my standards it was… ) This morning I used my usual combo of oats and plain yogurt, along with a few goji berries, some thawed berries and some peanuts.

Ya know what? I didn’t like the peanuts or the blackberries – too much crunch in my otherwise creamy muesli! It was still good, just not amazing.

Here’s my lunch for today:

It’s almost the same as yesterday except that there’s an apple, there are no more pickles and I just packed my veggies on my sandwich this time. I may be eating a soggy ham sandwich, but I hope not

Almost done!

One exam left to write and then I’m off for summer I’m going to keep this short to get in some studying, so here’s my breakfast:

Muesli with goji berries and an orange, right out of the yogurt container. I know, the muesli’s buried, but trust me it’s there! On the side, I had a cup of tea steeped with some fresh ginger and cinnamon. Supposedly these are good for colds, although that may be an old wives tale. I’m willing to try it though since I like both cinnamon and ginger!

Fueled up and ready to go

I’m a little afraid that I’ll get hungry and lose my train of thought during my exam, so I’m having a bigger bowl of muesli than usual this morning. I finally got it just the right consistency, just the right ratio of milk to yogurt to dry ingredients. I had been doing well with this before the addition of goji berries, but they absorb so much liquid that I’ve had to play around with the ratio again.

On the side, I had the last of my fruit salad and a small cup of coffee. This was also the end of my fruit supply… Uh Oh!

I’m going to try to make it through tomorrow with out fruit (just veggies) because I want to use up what’s here in case I go home on Monday! I still don’t know what day I’m moving because it depends on whether my family wants to drive back after my exam (evening) or wait until morning. I vote for Monday!

It’s Friday!

Hooray! It’s Friday and that means I’m done the school year in three days I have an exam tomorrow (yuck – school on a Saturday) and one on Monday and then it’s over!

In my sleepy state last night I completely forgot to say that my morning exam went really well! The afternoon one was less spectacular, but everyone was in the same boat and the prof said that the grades may have to be scaled up if they are too low. I guess time will tell.

On to breakfast, which was some more muesli (of course) This time I topped it with some homemade fruit salad made with mango, pear and apple. This was a great change from my usual plain muesli. I also had a few goji berries mixed in there as I have been doing recently.

The plan for today is just studying, although I may get outside for walk in the sunshine if I need a break I wish I could get out on my bike, but I don’t have time to make it road-worthy before I leave, so walking it wil have to be!

Busy Day Ahead!

Today is my last long day at school 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 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 I’ll try to pack some food to take with me, but that’s getting a but scarce around here

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

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
