Busy Bee

Today was another early morning for me, I was up and awake at 6:30 a.m. and worked until 9 on my Chemistry Lab Report. Then it was time to grab some breakfast! I had crunchy fruit salad (basically a mix of fresh fruit and granola) with about a half cup of cottage cheese on the side for some tartness and protein. It’s made with copious amounts of granola, so I usually don’t eat all of it and excavate for fruity bites!

Coffee too!

That didn’t hold me over for long, so I snacked on some unsweetened apple sauce and a nutri-grain bar before my 12 o’clock French class.Luckily, I was able to finish my lab report before heading out to class. Glad I got it out of the way! Those suckers are the worst ;).

After French I biked back to get some lunch with Kyle. UCSB is a HUGE biking school and I depend on my giraffe bike to get me everywhere :). I love those beautiful, sunny days with just a hint of a breeze!

Lunch was a salad (I love me some carrots- I promise there are some lettuce leaves in there!) and some teriyaki beef with rice and more veg. I also snuck a couple of bites from Kyle’s grass fed burgers and curly fries. Yum!

Then it was right back to work.

Thursdays are always my least favorite day of the week. It should be illegal to have a mandatory 4 hour chemistry lab.

I basically spent 4 hours making these crystals. Don’t get me wrong, they’re pretty, but in the future I’d prefer to buy them at a craft store for 23 cents ;).

Mad scientist in training right here!

I didn’t get out till 10 and was HUNGRY! Embarrassing enough to say, Kyle and I went to the same restaurant as yesterday. We just can’t get enough of Vietnamese food! I order some pineapple fried rice with lean chicken breast and shrimp. We also split a Vietnamese iced tea which is out of this world. Kyle ordered a beef dish, but was more than happy to help me with my huge plate of food!

It’s been such a long day, I’m glad I won’t have another Thursday for a week. Bring on the weekend!

 

Ready to Go!

Last night was a late one. I’m lucky to have a GREAT group of friends that live within the same dorm as me. However, this makes for a lot of late nights as everyday seems like a giant sleepover party. Long story short, I was up till 2 laughing and having a fun time with my main ladies :).

However, I was up and ready to go this morning for a sweat sesh with my friends Tiana and Kherishma! I was expecting to feel really sluggish from being up too late, but ended up getting up before my alarm by a solid hour at 6:30 a.m. I went down to the dining common around 8 and got breakfast with Tiana, then we biked over to our campus gym.

I know it looks like vomit, but I promise it's good!

I’ve been strength training with heavy weights for about a year, but always ended up going alone since most girls are intimidated by all that manly-man testosterone that surrounds the weight section. I was so excited when Tiana asked if she could come with me some time so I could show her around! We’re both morning people so our workout times line up perfectly.

Love me some cute workout clothes!

After the gym, I made a bee-line for Starbucks to grab a drink before my US History lecture. I’m usually much more of a coffee person, but a Very Berry Hibiscus Refresher sounded too appealing to pass up.

I pick my drinks based on if they match my outfit ;)

Did you know that Starbucks has a new Frappuccino out? I do.

He always knows what's best for me ;)

After my history and chemistry lectures, I had my French midterm, which I think went pretty well :). By 1 o’clock I was starving and more than game to meet Kyle for some food at one of our favorite restaurants.

ain't he a cutie?

We got Vietnamese food and I inhaled it all :).

So far, it’s been such a nice day! I’m done with class and am probably going to take a delicious nap before springing (or not) into homework.
