I got a chicken burrito bowl (for the first time) from Rendezvous earlier. The chicken is unbelievably, overwhelmingly salty, even with all the lime I squeezed onto it. On the other hand, the rice is tasteless and dry. The beans, surprisingly, aren't bad. Why, oh why, does the food quality decrease while our tuition and … Continue reading Sodium Galore →

I was having a pretty horrible few hours prior to dinner--and even during dinner--because I was so frustrated with and tired of studying. But then I came back to the room to put my newly acquired tea bags into my drawer... And upon realizing what an abundant varieTEA I have in my tea drawer, I … Continue reading Relief →

Often, I like to give people and matters the benefit of the doubt because I like to have faith in them. I like to believe that the general public is less evil, less conniving, more innocent, more considerate than they seem and that their actions will turn out for the better despite previous experiences proving … Continue reading Benefit of the Doubt →

I did, however, take … Continue reading Procrastinating, As Usual →

I just finished watching three episodes of "One Tree Hill." This past weekend, S and I decided to start (re)watching the show from season 1 (of eight so far, the ninth is currently running on television). I really thought I was going to restrain from watching anything at school, but then I realized today that … Continue reading It’s Been a Long Time →

I was what my mother always called a "special child" because I have special dietary needs and special physical restrictions--I have type 1 diabetes. My mother attended preschool with me so that she could make sure I ate all the right foods--plain pancakes without syrup, cereal with exactly four ounces of milk, one hard-boiled egg--and … Continue reading Plastic Bag Lunch Girl →
