Good evening!

My font seems different this time... not sure what happened... Oh well!

So, the last time I posted was Saturday, hmm? Well, it's Tuesday night now, so I'll fill you in on what happened the past few days!

On Saturday, I got off work at 6pm, and one of my church friends wanted to hang out. So, we walked around campus, talking for a while. I thought it would be like half an hour and then heading home, but he wanted to spend more time together. So, we ended up walking around for an hour and a half while I was starving and dying to get off my feet which were still sore from the concert the previous night.

When I finally got home, I made myself green curry with noodles and then baked some molasses cookies. While the cookies were baking, I called Ann 'cause I missed her. We talked and talked and talked and talked - two batches of cookies went into the oven and came out.

My phone died part-way through, and I plugged it in and called her back. The cookies began slowly disappearing. I realized that I had forgotten to roll them in sugar like I usually do, but by that point I didn't care. When we finally got off the phone, half of the cookies were gone. At that point, I decided I should go to bed before I ate more of them.

On Sunday morning, I woke up feeling awful. I made a quick assessment of my condition and decided to spend the morning in bed instead of at church. I sent off a quick note about why I wouldn't be there, and then I fell into the soundest sleep in the strangest position possible. I have no idea how having my leg next to my face was comfortable - especially since I can't recreate the position now that I am awake.

Then I spent the afternoon taking it easy and, of course, eating cookies. Once the evening rolled around, I got up and went to the Honors Council meeting to plan the agenda for our meeting with the Provost on Friday. We had a great time, and I ate my cookies secretly (since, you know, they weren't perfect or fit to feed to others). I had a nice talk with two of the Council members I never talk to on the way home, and then I went to bed.

On Monday, I went to class at 8am and learned how to use my model kit correctly - thank you, Matt, for giving me your old one. Then I decided that I didn't feel good enough to go to my 3 hours of fitness classes - so I went home! I made myself a nice, healthy lunch of veggies and the rest of the cookies and brought it to the cafeteria to eat with my friends who buy their lunches (and a few that bring their lunches). They helped me eat the rest of the cookies, which made me feel much better about my eating habits and got me some nice compliments too.

Then I went home and took it easy until I had class at 4pm - philosophy. I really like the professor for some reason, and he always makes my brain hurt less than it does when I read the required papers. Which is good, I guess, for a philosophy professor. Then Matt took me to Wegmans, and I bought a bunch of healthy food - no more food from a box! I've had too much insta-food lately, and I deserve better than that!

When I got home, I proceeded to fry up tofu and a wide assortment of veggies and make myself a nice big batch of white fluffy rice. I portioned out a small serving for dinner and stored the rest away before I sat down to eat. Thankfully, I killed any urges to get seconds (even though it was delicious and small), so I could keep my leftovers for lunch today. It was fantastic, and I think next time I'll add less soy sauce to give it a little more crunch.

Then Tony came and took me over to the guys' place, where I played on my computer, played video games, and had a jolly ol' time since three other people came over to hang out (in addition to the four boys that live there). Then I came home (kinda late) and went to bed.

This morning (Tuesday), I had class at 11am and a paper to print out before that. So I got up at 9am and took my time getting ready before heading off to print and learn about chemical databases! Yes, today was the wonderful 'start-searching-for-a-research-paper' day! I have several ideas I like, and I'll give them a quick look-over before asking the professor if they are OK to use.

Then I went to a meeting, to office hours, and to class before coming home. On the way home, I snagged three free veggies burgers since a couple frats were giving out free food during rush week. Then I grabbed my knitting stuff and headed to Hooks and Needles!! Hooks and Needles is the crochet-knit club on campus - of which, I am somewhat of a member. I come when I can and don't when I can't. It's the only club I've gotten involved in and haven't run for an executive position yet. And I can't see myself doing that anytime soon - since I can barely knit and learned how to crochet last week.

I had a lot of fun tonight, and it felt good to 'get my girl on' and relax. So much of my day is spent doing things that when I come home, all I do is finish up what I was doing earlier - work and class stuff. So it's nice to finish off Tuesdays with a knot in some ugly yarn and a big mug of tea. I love my iPod on nights like this - when I can finally relax and get the kinks out of my back.

And everyone loves that green hat you knitted for me, Ann. Like, every time I wear it, I get compliments on it. Matches my eyes too (kinda). Definitely matches my tea right now.

So, I should probably get around to cooking/preparing lunch for tomorrow so I don't have to do it in the morning. Oh well, maybe I'll do that later tonight - or just toss some hummus and carrots in a container. And I should go to the gym tomorrow too. At least it's good for me - and I'll sleep better tomorrow night.

Oh, and someone has volunteered to take my old position as Committee Head for the Honors Service Committee - so I might actually be stepping down from a position for the first time ever!!! Hopefully, he can keep up and do his job right... (people have to elect him first though - but he's the only one running... so as long as they don't write me in on the ballet, I should be set...) Luckily, I don't have to do much for one of my other clubs, and I might be stepping down from another one too. I want more free time to spend having fun like last night and cooking my meals instead of insta-food-ing for three nights a week.

I love you all, and you should take good care of yourselves!

Oh, and I changed my email to update this blog from - which is why there are two Molly V's now - one is new and current - and the other one isn't able to update anymore. The reason why: I was using one of my club's email addresses as the log-in for the blog, and I finally got around to making it on my own account instead of using the club email for my personal blog.

So take care, and I should be able to update Thursday morning!
