Let's Sing Quietly Today


Posting lately has proven to be very difficult since sororities are so secretive and this week especially contained many secrets. Basically, I don't have too much that I'm allowed to post about. I will say that yesterday/last night was hilarious and so much fun!!! This morning I woke up the earliest out of all the girls in the house (at least that's what I think) to go for a run before recruitment starts tomorrow (recruitment = absolutely no time for anything). The temperature was nice and cool and I ended up running 5.2 miles. Go me! I definitely felt like I could have done more had I been running with others or in a race situation. Speaking of races, my dad and I are thinking about running in the U.S. 10k Classic ( I think that's what it's called). Supposedly, it's the hardest 10k in America since the whole thing is uphill. I figure it will be good practice for my half marathon coming up in a few months. The past two days have been a bit sad, foodwise that is, because our chef had some days off. The good news is that I have plenty of food in my room now. I don't remember if I already posted about the Kashi warm cinnamon cereal that I bought, but it is AWESOME!!! I'm hooked.They're delicious when mixed with Cheerios, which are super low sugar. It's a nice balance.
For lunch yesterday I wasn't hungry at first, so I went with some friends to Chick-fil-a to socialize. Guess who holds the door for us!!!! Vince Dooley!!! My friend Katie and I had absolutely no idea until the other girls told us. Vince's assistant/friend saw us freaking out and asked us if we wanted to meet him. Of course we did! We went outside and chatted for a few minutes and oh my gosh was he nice! So friendly! After they all finished lunch I headed to Earthfare to check it out. I've read a lot about it on another blog I read, so I figured it was worth a trip. It reminded me a lot of Whole Foods, but on a smaller scale. I made myself a delicious salad from the salad bar for lunch.

The base was romaine, then I topped it with lots of bell peppers(I've been craving them lately), grilled chicken(it's underneath the peppers), quinoa salad(first time having quinoa and it was delicious, grape tomatoes, broccoli salad, feta (my favorite), and a few other things that I can't remember. I also had fruit and Cheerios on the side. I will definitely visit Earthfare again.
After running and rush practice today (the last one! woo hoo!) I drove to the grocery store with Meredith and Stephanie. Going anywhere with them makes errands so much fun! We laughed so much! I pretty much tried to stock up on everything I'll need for the next 5 days. I bought more cereal, some milk, almonds, grapes, Greek yogurt, deli chicken, lettuce, and probably more stuff that I can't remember right now. We all ate lunch as soon as we got back into the house, then we spent the next couple of hours cleaning and preparing our rooms to be seen this week. Our main guideline: "make your room look like no one lives in it". Okay, no problem. :/ In order to give my room a cleaner, simpler look I started on a craft yesterday to replace the collage next to my bed. It turned out super cute if I do say so myself.

Wish me luck for tomorrow! :)
