Thoughts From a Tired and Hungry Mind

There is something about the lack-of-structure university class schedual that makes you eat weird things at unatural times of day. It goes beyond the constant caffein consumption (and believe me when I tell you that my caffeteria offers no less than twelve different energy drinks on a daily basis), and the don't-ask-dont-tell rez food attitude (how about meatless meatballs?).

The biggest change for me is the hours. Breakfast stays at its usual whenever I get up time slot and generally consists of a double chocolate muffin and a juice. Don't yell at me for this; it has a hell of a lot more nutrishional value than you would expect in the breakfast of a 95 pound female. I have difficultly with lunch since I am so used to eating it every day at exactly the same time. I like to refer to that part of highschool life as letting the herd out to graze. Generally I try to aim for a noon lunchtime but it never seems to work like that. Instead I just end up eating a salad, sandwhich or soup on the way to something else. Sometimes this ends in diasterous food spilling and embarassing stains. But no matter what I end up drinking Arizona Pommegrante Ice Green Tea. Dinner is dinner and I eat it whenever I can in a given day. Portions are as generous as one would expect from a north american institution and I always have my dinner with chocolate milk.

You would think that my feeding rituals would end there for the day, but if i dont eat anything after that I wake up hungry. Waking hungry is a terrible and sick feeling that ruins the rest of my day, so I find myself getting up in the middle of the night for granola bars, Mr. Noodles or rice. I am not sure how healthy this is for my digestive system, and I generally feel better waking up if I stay up later and have a second dinner at around 1 am. But that cuts down on my sleeping time which is no good.

Besides all of that I continue to develop my sweet tooth. Recently I rediscovered reeses pieces (thank you Aidan). I keep some in a drawer so I don't accidentally kill Ariel.
