Food For Thought: Day 17
So, today was a pretty typical Wednesday, although I didn’t have a council meeting which always simplifies life. I got up around 9:00, had some breakfast, and headed off to campus for my science lab. At 11:30 I was supposed to meet a friend for lunch, but he messed up his schedule; he thought he had class 10:30-11:30, but it was actually 11:30-12:30. So, we decided to forgo lunch and I headed off to a meeting, and then another hour of class.
After class I went and got my hair cut – it was $10 for charity, so all in all it was a pretty good deal. I didn’t eat the hair, so I’m not counting that as part of my food and nutrition for the month. After that I came home, showered to get all the hair off me, and changed. Then I headed back to campus.
Since lunch had fallen through, we re-scheduled to dinner. I took a look at the budget and decided that, since I had skipped lunch, I probably had enough money to afford to buy a decent meal on campus, so I grabbed a caesar salad and a glass of chocolate milk at our on campus restaurant. He bought spinach dip for us to share (but he paid for it, so there was no cost to me). The total for my salad and milk with tip? $13. Ouch.
After that I did some school work, met with a friend for an hour to discuss plans to head to BC next year, and then stopped by the campus pub for some live entertainment and a beer with some friends.
All in all it was a pretty good day, although in hindsight I probably didn’t eat nearly enough.
