I've decided I want to become a tea drinker. Especially loose leaf tea. There are so many health benefits associated to caffeine and to regularly drinking tea and unlike coffee there aren't lattes, mochas and other high calorie european beverages to deter from the lifestyle change I am trying to lead. Whats nice about tea is that you just put it in water and maybe add some sweetener with sugar being the obvious choice but there are other options such as stevia, agave syrup or yacon syrup. D and I have decided to start our little tea exploration together. We want to get tea mugs that have the infuser attached as well as a little box to start our tea collection. We had summer breeze tea today (courtesy of C's tea collection) and it was delicious. I can see it being the perfect tea to use for iced tea.
I enjoy the taste of earl grey so I do want to try more black tea however just a quick scroll through the David's tea website (we have a shop at the mall!) and I already feel excited to start tasting my way through the different categories. Haven't picked up my moccassins yet, however I think I'm going to pick them up tomorrow after class. I just need to make sure I can get the bus route figured out now that everything has changed. Seriously, I didn't know it was possible but somehow the bus system got WORSE than before. You would think that instead of doing an entire re-haul an changing all the routes and stops you would just keep the same routes, make them more frequent and add buses to the newly accessible areas. But of course that would just be too easy.
Once again I have not been productive enough. I can see myself getting into the same routine I did last semester and I physically CANNOT let that happen. I have so much I need to get done in terms of readings, practice questions and just getting organized and on top of things in general. I did sign up for a chapter summary group for one of my classes so at least I know I will have something for that class. A bit of exciting news though, i found the pdf versions of 2 of my textbooks :) I was going to check if my Food Science other book was up but since I have already bought it I don't see the point. I'm surprised I didn't see if I could find a copy of my last book, guess I'll add that to my growing list of things to do.
On a random note we got so much snow here today! Considering we have pretty much had nothing all season, actually having snow and doing the first shovel of the year is crazy. Especially considering how a week ago it was beautiful spring like weather. I wore my Sorel's again today. They are feeling a bit better around my ankles but I don't think I would be comfortable wearing them without the bandaids or thicker socks. Actually I'm pretty sure my skin hasn't healed from the first 2 instances yet. In case I've failed to mention it before, it pains me to walk in my boots. Not because the size is too small (its actually pretty perfect and a tad big) but because the boots rub against the back of my ankle, so much so that I've bled through my socks twice in a row. I was talking to B about snowboots (since she had forgotten hers at home) and she mentioned that hers cut the backs of her ankles as well! Is this just a common occurrence with snowboots? I would imagine that such an obvious construction error wouldn't be fixed by now. I'm hoping to buy some nice thick socks and maybe some gauze bandages to wrap around my ankles. I love these boots and hope that one day I'll just be able to put them on and walk in the snow without having to worry about what socks I'm wearing or if I'll physically even be able to walk because of the pain.
