Lent...

Well as of midnight I began my 40 day challenge...
It's weird how this is the only part of my religion I still really, really take part in. I love Lent, though. I love being able to challenge myself & see what I can push myself to do.

As of right now, I've given up a few things: Facebook (ugh!), Desserts (cookies, cakes, candy, pie, pudding...), Sodas, and my favorite - starbucks energy drinks (they're what keep me going in the mornings before class.. and in the evenings before chapter & recruitment stuff!).

This wouldn't be as difficult, except for the fact that I've got cookie dough in the fridge, and some other stuff around the room ... and the fact that classes were canceled today, so I won't be going to lunch with everyone, and I can't have meat today (Ashe Wednesday), which is all I've got in the room except for this one pizza thing that's just cheese. So yay for lunch. I'll have to make mac & cheese for dinner or something. Yikes! (as you can tell, I'm too lazy to go to the cafeteria, but it's less laziness and mostly my idea of how freaking FREEZING it is outside!)

The other things - Facebook ... I've already done that for a week, so I know I can do it for Lent because I won't be the only one && because I've got classes & stuff I can focus on instead (and deactivating it makes it easier!). Sodas .. I don't drink them much anymore, but I'm trying to completely cut soda out of my diet anyway, so this will help. The energy drinks are an unnecessary addiction, and I like them a lot.. so they're something good to get rid of. And I'm doing desserts for the fact that they're a waste of money & unneeded calories.


Okie dokie, well now that classes were canceled and my bio test was postponed (I woke up early, planned on ditching my first class to get extra studying, etc ... didn't even need it) I can either go back to bed or go visit with people :). lovely lovely!

byeeee!
