For dinner tonight I sautéed some veggies- onion, carrot, broccoli, and green pepper- with homemade thai peanut sauce on the side along with curried couscous :D it was pretty tasty and almost vegan (I believe soy sauce is made with animal product :/) 

I also had a yummy juice (carrot, orange, and apple) earlier today from a local cafe as well as a smoothie (kale, banana, almond milk, and strawberries) later at home.

I’m pretty happy with what I eat, however I want to incorporate more fresh, raw foods and snack less on process foods. Once I fix my bike maybe I’ll bike to the farmer’s market more often!

• Read 10-20 books

Some notable things:

My grandma insists that I stay indoors at night so I don’t get raped, so excuse me while I become a hermit in fear of the rapists who just can’t keep themselves from raping college girls walking home from the library at 12am. Ugh, obvi not happening. I’m not going to alter my lifestyle and live in fear of some entitled-psychopath-perverts.

And of course there were many comments about my diet, such as my mom mentioning that I’ll have a hard time finding food to eat at the restaurant we were going to because I eat “organic” and would just have to get a salad. -_- (I’m not organic- I’m a vegetarian, which doesn’t mean I only consume iceberg lettuce..) But honestly I should’ve got a salad because they got my quesodilla order wrong and didn’t include any of the side dishes (like beans… so much for protein) and it was greasy and hurt my stomach.

On the bright side, my uncle took me grocery shopping and then we went to Zingermann’s and taste tested fancy olive oils :) and he bought be this delicious jalapeno-cherry salsa. It sounds strange, but it is amazing!

Yesterday I found out that I got a grant to continue my student research over the summer! :D

This means that I’ll actually be able to pay for my apartment :P or I’ll at least have to take out fewer student loans. 

I was born with minor scoliosis and have always had a weak/tight lower back. Whenever we would practice backbends in class I would feel kind of nervous and reserved because I really didn’t want to hurt myself. I’ve been able to come up onto the top of my head for a while now, but today I decided that I was going to go for it and give it an extra push. The next thing I knew, I was in wheel!!! I was so shocked that I didn’t hold it for very long haha. But I did it again and realized that it actually felt pretty good on my lower back. :) 

I don’t know if anyone will actually read this but I just wanted to post this because I’m excited/proud of myself :P

So I guess the application for the Summer research program I want to do in ONE week D: 

Just asked one of my grad. student teachers to write a letter of recommendation kind of last minute so I really hope she can because idk who else to ask gahhh

But I really hope it all comes together in time because my research proposal is sweet (which I also have to write in a week..) and having a summer job would be really nice..

On pinterest I found instructions for making chocolate covered oreos, so my roommate and I made some last night for our boyfriends for valentines day! (how domesticated haha)

But anyways, they turned out pretty good! I may post a picture and some tips later :)

Facebook some how RSVPed me to the random event “Play and Sport: The Catholic Life of Virtue” without me knowing about it.
