Backlog.. so busy lately!

Been so busy with crew, classes and such. Seems like I have a pretty significant workload this year. But today was my first day after crew practice where I got to come home, since dropping 9am French C&C. I managed to whip up some chicken and asparagus, in the bacon I'm still trying to get rid of. Not the healthiest thing, but whatever, it's tasty. Lined everything with some cucumber and just some plain rice. Simple, quick. I didn't even manage to eat this until dinnertime cause I was so busy with class and stuff and crew physicals. Ate in the new Charles Commons dorm place thingy. They certainly have a problem with lines, but the place is nice. Very comfortable seating and it certainly doesn't look like a dining hall. I think I'll hang out there for more than just the food, do some studying there sometime over dinner.


This one was from a while back, on the 8th. Made some fried rice with egg, mixed frozen veggies and of course bacon again. Then sauted some green beans with bacon, and then took one of my frozen scallion pancakes and heated it up and cut it up. Fast and easy. Sounds like the theme of my unfortunate eating habits lately...

Fishies!

This is my new bento box! It's way cute. and the little chick at the bottom holds rice seasoning. But anyway, my bento for today was just some rice, some tortellini with alfredo sauce, bell peppers, and italian sausage, then for some more vegetables, I took a little bit of bacon in a pan and kinda stirfried that up with some frozen mixed veggies. I know, it's all way fat, but it was super good. Here's the pic:

MY FIRST BENTO!!!

Ohmygosh, my bento box came in today! It has fishies and says "Happy Together"... I'll take a pic of the cover later. This was my bento for today, I only had like 45 minutes to make it because I was in a rush to get to the DMC to work on crew dvd stuff. But made some sushi rice, sprinkled with nori furikake, stir-fried some chicken, asparagus, onions and garlic with some dark soy and a tiny bit of corn starch to make it thick. I also tried out my new egg molder, so I have half a hard-boiled egg there between the cucumber slices, in the shape of a teddy bear! Apparently JUMBO eggs are too big to fit in the mold, so next time I buy eggs I'll downgrade to large so I don't do a lot of nasty squishy squishy to the side of the eggs.

On another note, I'm glad orientation is finally over with. So over being an SA and stuff, now I gotta concentrate on school, GRE's (i mean, start), and of course crew. And crew's already starting to be a bit of a bore. Maybe it's just cause we're not on the water yet and doing all the usual pre-crew buildup crap.

Who knows... I don't need any more drama right now. Save it for later. Or I'll break down. I'm already sick, at least it's not strep like J had... I was really worried the reason why I wasn't getting better was because it was bacterial, in which case I would need to take antibiotics, which would really make my system shot. I can't mess it up anymore right now, my goal is to eat healthy and smaller portions, go to the gym more, and study lots. School is starting, I need to get my act together. And be where I need to be in crew too.
