First Day of Spring Classes

Breakfast

This morning my brother and his crew came over for breakfast before they hit the road for home. I made the biggest batch of oats I've ever made!! In the mix

• 4 large bananas
• 2 1/2 cups oats
• 5 cups water
• cinnamon
• vanilla extract

Once the oats were finished I set up an assembly line of add-ins: raisins, brown sugar, almond milk, peanut butter, and raisin bran crunch.

To mine I added raisins, a little brown sugar, peanut butter, and almond milk.

This is Matt's bowl. We raced to take a picture of it! He definitely won.

Banana oats and Java. Breakfast Perfecta!

Lunch

The first day of classes have been pretty chill so far. My music analysis class only has twelve people as of today! My next class directly after that is a big lecture GE but it is super appealing to me: Intro to Ethics. I never realized that I would probably really enjoy philosophy but I am actually really excited to get into this class!

Lunch was some homemade bean soup that mom packed for me, some sugar snap peas, and some hummus.

A little later I enjoyed my favorite vice: blueberry pecan cereal bahhh!
I have choir tonight at five so I am going to try and utilize my time wisely until then. The weather channel said this morning that it may be rainy by Wednesday :( I think I will try to sit outside and do some reading for my ethics class.

See ya at dinner time!

Passover Dinner, Car Fiasco!

Breakfast

I made plans to go with Lexie and my Aunt Linda to their workout class Sunday morning so I woke up and grabbed a quick breakfast for the road. They live a little less than two hours from me.

There was some tropical trail mix out and I just felt like having a handful.

I peeled an intense looking orange and grabbed a Honey Graham Z Bar for the road.
And of course, coffee to go!
The workout class was great! It was a dance inspired cardio type workout and I am definitely sore! The plan was to zoom back to Santa Barbara, shower and change, grab my brother who was visiting SB with some buddies, and go back for Passover dinner. Go plan, right? Well it was until the break light in my car went off! I ended up sitting in my car in a gas station waiting for a tow truck for at least an hour. Luckily I have an awesome book on my iPod that I'm listening to and this VitaminWater which had been in my car for a while now.
By the time I finally got home I was starving! I wolfed down the other half of my burrito and a pretty unhealthy speed haha. But I made the turn around and Eric and I were on the road headed back for dinner in a flash.

Dinner

We missed the ceremony :( but still got to grub up on the tasty food!
Dessert and coffee!
One of my favorite traditions of having dinner and my family's house is that we always play solitaire. Now, this isn't just any kind of solitaire, this is intensely competitive, multiplayer speed solitaire! That's Lexie on my left!
And that's my brother Eric in the yellow shirt on the right.

I'm telling you this game gets vicious!


On the drive back I somehow had a grumble in my stomach. I didn't understand how this was possible but I knew my stomach wasn't taking no for an answer. I had some trail mix, but avoided all the M&M's.
We made it back safe and I went straight to be to be rested for the first day of classes...bleh.

Manly Man Workout With Eric

Breakfast

I woke up this morning not feeling especially hungry which is very unusual for me. I started with a cup of coffee with sugar free hazelnut and soy milk.

Eventually I made myself a bowl of oats. In the mix:

• 1 cup water
• handful raisins
• 1/2 cup oats
• 1 tsp. brown sugar
• shake cinnamon
• scoop peanut butter
• splash soymilk

Workout

My brother Eric dragged my booty to the gym and made me do man exercises! We did some intense abs, shoulder complex, squats, dips, bench press, and a much more intense, manly exercises that I've never done before. It was awesome!! He has guaranteed me that I will be sore tomorrow.

Lunch

After our workout we went back to Quickly and tried some more of those tasty drinks! I got the Sesame Milk Tea with boba.
And some fried tofu. This stuff is great!
Now we're back home trying to get a little work done before dinner tonight. I have a bunch of music to learn so I better get cracking!
