Finally, I can breathe!

OMG, it's been a while since I posted, sorry... I got called out, haha. I had so much school work it was insane! If I wasn't studying I was either sleeping or cleaning. I have a mini break until finals now, but the Mid-terms almost killed me.

So I fell off the healthy eating wagon. I don't really know what happened, but it did, and I'm over it and waiting until after the holidays. Too much good food around this time to be eating healthy! Haha. I started my Christmas baking the other day. I made chocolate chip cookies for Daniel and Oatmeal, orange and cranberry cookies for me! They are so yummy! Instead of using brown sugar, I used Splenda brown sugar, so that makes it a little better I guess. I have the best recipe for peppermint brownies I can't wait to make, plus of course, magic bars. I have to find my Nana's recipe for molasses sugar cookies too!

I'm sitting in microbiology class right now. I felt like I needed to come to the class because I did so bad on the last exam. How do you go from a 91% on the first test, 80% on the second to 69% on the third!? I miss the Canadian grading system too... in the US, a 90%+ is an A, 80%+ is a B, etc. It sucks!

This fall weather is freaking me out! We went from sunny and 72f yesterday, to 61f and rainy today and it's supposed to be 42f tomorrow... weird. It feels like spring today.

I went on my business trip to DC/Virginia since my last post. OMG, I hate flying, I used to be really good at it, but just hate it now. It was a direct flight there, so that was nice. I never eat anything the day I fly until I get to where I'm going... I'm always scared it's going to make me feel sick and I'll be trapped throwing up in my seat. I took a valium and it helped me relax. When we got to the DC airport we got a cab and went to the hotel. It was right beside a HUGE mall so we decided to go eat dinner there and do some shopping. They had a shuttle to the mall too, which was great because it was freezing and nasty out. I got a caesar salad and mushroom ravioli from Brio and it was GOOOOOD. We went shopping for a bit and then I started to feel rumbles in my belly. I thought it was just because I was digesting, it had been a long while since I'd eaten anything. Then all of a sudden it hit me and I needed a bathroom ASAP! That salad went straight through me, it didn't pass go and it didn't collect $200... it just wanted OUT! I have the digestive system of a 90 year old woman, I swear! So I was in there while Joanna (my co-worker and travel buddy) waited for me in the store we were in (Lord and Taylor, they have nice bathrooms). We went to another store and then it hit me again... I just felt awful! This time I took off to Bloomingdale's... ugh. I ended up asking Joanna if we could go back to the hotel and felt so bad to have to ask her to do that. The shuttle was only about a 5 minute wait. The hotel we were at had a little store, so I went there are got a bottle of Pepto and ate 2 pills every 30 mins for an hour and a half. It was just horrible! I was fine for the rest of the trip though. It was heavy food on an empty stomach plus the stress of travelling.

Class is almost over, so I better wrap this up. I'll be better about updating, I promise :)
