University classes are one thing, living outside of classes in another thing entirely. First there is the problem of food, which wouldn't be a problem if I wasn't intolerant to preservatives and soy. Of course as the dining hall serves hundreds of people every meal they use a lot of frozen or pre-made foods. All of those foods have things that make me sick, a fact that I am now fully aware of as I have been sick for the last 32 hours. One wrong meal and I was running to the bathroom and back for the entire night, and yet my room mate still slept through it. So I am now very glad that I am getting a fridge in a while and so will be able to downgrade my meal plan so I eat less at the dining hall.
Of course there is volunteer work as well. Currently I am tutoring a 14 year old girl in math, and looking after the dogs at Beagle Paws. I enjoy both very much, especially since I only have to tutor once a week and look after the dogs once every-other week. There is little pressure, and it's a great time to relax. The dogs especially act as a stress relief, they are just so happy and love the attention. I'm hoping to get some pictures of them tomorrow and post them here, but that depends on how I feel.
I have to go now, so I'll write to you later!!!
