today i craved fresh tomatoes.
without a kitchen, i'm forced to eat a granola bar for breakfast (fine), get a sandwich or salad from a takeout place for lunch, and eat in the dining hall or go out to dinner. I MISS COOKING. the tomatoes i get in sandwiches are the yucky mealy kind (boo) and there aren't many fresh veggies in the dining hall. today i had to take matters into my own hands. i found some beautiful grape tomatoes at the grocery store and then put them in everything i could get my hands on. pre-made pesto pasta salad? with tomatoes! pre-made wild rice salad? with tomatoes! hummus? with tomatoes! i ate an entire carton full of tomatoes. it was awesome.
life is good.
(in general, my days are working/eating/hanging out with friends/going to the pub/sleeping/repeating. nothing super exciting to report, other than that i'm still really enjoying the people i work with and i'm getting to know the kids and (mostly) enjoying them as well. oh, and i joined the gym in town for the month! have i been yet? well, no, but i've got big plans to go tomorrow morning. it's been three weeks since i did any exercise other than walking and i miss it. i'll report back on whether i can get my act together, but the 40 pounds i paid for the month's gym membership will guilt me into going, i'm pretty sure...)
