Food Coma Fridays.

How is it almost easter already? I feel like this year is flying by. But you know what easter means? SPRING! I’m so ready for warm weather. Totally threw me off when it SNOWED here last week…again. Especially coming back from 75 degree, balmy weather in vegas. That was a rude awakening to come home to.

I’m almost done with my first trimester of grad school. WOO! Step one to becoming a holistic nutritionist, check. Provided that I pass my exams this weekend. Anatomy and physiology has been the bane of my existence these past few months. Even more so than organic chemistry, which I did not expect. Um, hello, I was a political science and French major in college. No science-y science involved. I purposely AVOIDED any science classes in college because I hated them. Funny to see how things have changed since then…oops.
