Playing Hooky

I never skip class. Even if I’m in bad shape, I always manage to get to class some way or another. I can’t stand the feeling of not knowing what went on during class and ‘missing out.’ Well, I skipped 2 out of my 3 classes today. The one that I went to was Golf :)

The exam I have on Friday is really scaring me. I had a substitute in one of my classes today and a guest speaker in the other so I figured my time was better spent studying. Guh, it takes me FOREVER to decide whether or not I should skip when I know other students skip all the time!!

Before golf, I had yet another yogurt bowl. I know it’s time to switch it up but whenever I wake up, this is all that’s on my mind!

Today’s mix included TJ’s Euro yogurt, strawberries, bananas, Kashi Puffs, dried cranberries and almond butter.

After golf I ellipticalled for 30 min. while debating if I should skip or not. That seriously took all 30 minutes haha. Worry wart alert!!

For late lunch, I had a hugh jass salad with oh so many toppings!

Avocado, goat cheese, tomatoes, red onions, cauliflower, garbanzo beans, red peppers, and butternut squash

I wrapped up some of the salad w/ Pom Wonderful marinated tempeh leftover from the weekend for some carb action.

I had a lot of random eats this afternoon that were hiding from the camera :) Think dried apricots dipped in almond butter, a glass of kefir, bites of butternut squash, and an Aprican Almond Butter Bite.

I also broke into this lovely box from Trader Joe’s!

Each 1000 Layer Cracker is wrapped individually. Good for portability. Bad for the environment. My crackers always go stale though, so this box will last quite awhile. Hopefully that offsets the bad for the environment bit.

This cracker is uber rich. The layers make the cracker crispy yet fluffy. It reminded me of the nice buttery crackers I had in Europe. Perhaps there weren’t 1000 layers, but there were a lot! See for yourself…

I’ve got a SUPER long sorority ceremony + meeting tonight that I definitely do NOT have time for. Oh well, what can you do? Then I’ve got an EARLY wake up call tomorrow morning. Think 5:15 AM. I’ll explain tomorrow!!!

Quirky Q’s

1) Are you someone that skips class (or skipped when you were in school) with ease or do you dwell on it for way too long?

2) I was browsing around for good pumpkin, carrot, and/or butternut squash recipes (all of which I have in the fridge!) on Google today in the form of bars, breads, muffins, etc. Nothing really jumped out. Anyone have a good recipe for me to try?

3) How long have you been blogging? How long have you been blog-reading?

    I’ve been blogging a little over a year/blog reading for 2!

    I haven’t been in school for a long time, but I do occasionally “skip” work. It does take me a while to make a final decision and 9 out of 10 times I end up going in anyways! ;)

    Those crackers look marvellous!!!

    I definitely skipped class in school, but like you, it took me forever to make the decision!

    I’ve been blogging since July and blog reading since March.

    Butternut squash risotto! I don’t have a specific recipe, I just google it every time I make it :)

    I skipped class a lot in grad school. I had to drive 60 miles to get there and sometimes it just wasn’t worth it!

    I’ve been blogging since June and blog reading since April or May.

    I hardly ever skipped class and if I did, I felt so badly about it and contemplated it for hours before doing it. I hate being behind and having to rely on classmates to catch-up. Plus, I hated when those who cut would ask me for my notes. But, you have to do what you have to do and if you need time off to study, then that’s perfectly fine. I was a bit too rigid on myself in college and that certainly was NOT a good thing :) Good luck, Allie! I’m sure you will do fine! BTW, love those strawberries – so purty!

    Been reading since last fall and blogging since this past spring!

    That salad is GORG by the way. And those 1000 layer crackers sound amazing!

    Don’t stress about the skipped class, i’m the same way….but ya gotta realize that soooo many people RARELY go to class and do just fine. We’re just the ones getting our moneys worth, whereas they’re wasting their time! That’s what I tell myself when they’re getting the same test grades. Hahaha, hmm…not a laughing matter ;)
