It feels like I’m in high school again!
Blizzard 2015 resulted in cancelled classes yesterday and today, so the students of Boston are reveling in the extra time to study watch Netflix and play outside. The wind and snow were going strong all day yesterday, and I’d say Boston got approximately two feet of snow.
Some pictures of buried cars and parking meters are slightly misleading, because snowblowers caused the sidewalks to look insanely drowned in snow, but there still was a heck of a lot of fluffy white stuff!
Our faces hurt from the cutting, cold wind, but it was fun to be outside after studying all day. The snow was the fluffiest and whitest I’ve ever seen!
Moves were also done inside! I did five rounds (spread out throughout the morning) of 20 air squats, 20 pushups, 1 minute plank, and 10 burpees, plus other random exercises as study breaks.
In my dorm building, we are fortunate enough to have a dining hall on the lower floor, so food was still conveniently accessible throughout the day. The same could not be said for people living in some of the other dorms, so we are lucky ducks!
Here’s what I ate yesterday as winter storm Juno displayed her wrath:
Breakfast
Perfectly delicious, filling, and yellow.
whole wheat French toast with pb and banana + scrambled eggs + glass o’ milk
Lunch
I may have squealed when I saw that meatloaf was available.
meatloaf with mashed potatoes and carrots
salad with a heap of hummus
pear
Snack
My next door neighbor, Rachel, received this Mega Omega trail mix in a care package from her mom, but she gave it to me because she didn’t want it. She knows me 🙂
a handful of trail mix + frozen banana
Dinner
A hodgepodge of several tasty items— something salty, something sweet, something…chocolate?
turkey souvlaki
raisin bran + granola + milk
some bites of my brother’s vegan brownie
Late Snack
For staying up late on snow day eve.
peanut butter a la spoon + more frozen banana
We are seriously blessed to have food beyond Ramen and crackers.
Hope you all have a great Wednesday! Stay safe and warm if the snow is still covering your area!
So tell me:
Did you experience the blizzard?
Do you ever have cereal as a part of your dinner?
What is the best thing you ate yesterday?
