Food For Thought: Day 3
Today was, as I predicted, a bit of a struggle. My Wednesdays are always the longest days of the week, just due to my class and extra-curricular schedule, but today was especially long. I got up nice and early at 6:45 this morning to prepare for a brief spot on CBC Radio Windsor at 7:15. I think it went really well, and they seemed receptive to our message, which is great. After that I grabbed a quick breakfast, packed up my lunch and dinner, and headed off to campus.
I only had a few hours of class today, but I had a pile of meetings. As it turned out, breakfast and lunch weren’t as filling as I would have liked, and by 5:30 my stomache was already rumbling away. I had my dinner, and headed off to CHRW for the Big Purple Couch Radio program I had the chance to speak on tonight. After that came a student council meeting – for about five hours. By the time everything was said and done, I came in the door a little after 2:15, meaning I’d been out of the house for about 17 hours during which time I had to eat two meals.
It’s about 3:30 now, and I’m just putting the finishing touches on this blog before heading off to bed. Of course, I’m off to prepare some food for tomorrow first (and something quick to eat now), so it’s definitely going to be a late night – I have to be back on campus around 9:00am.
