Tonight I went to a restaurant called Off the Waffle with some APO people. Breakfast for dinner? Completely acceptable.
They serve pretty much just waffles, all with different toppings. Some are sweet, some are savory, some are a mix of both. All of the waffles are probably quite tasty, but for my first "Off the Waffle" waffle, I decided to go for a sweet treat.
Another reason for the sweet instead of savory was because of how I view waffles. Waffles are something that have to be sweet. Drizzled with syrup, topped with melting chocolate chips... That's just how they have to be eaten! Chicken and waffles simply sounds crazy to me. Syrup covered chicken just seems weird.
Now, I'm all for some combos of savory and sweet. I love bacon and maple doughnuts. French fries dipped in shakes are scrumptious. So why can't I get on board with the savory waffle? The same goes for pancakes. Actually, I'm more of a pancakes girl myself.
As for breakfast in general, I tend to go towards a more savory side. If I don't have protein, I usually get hungry. Strangely enough, I was pretty satisfied after my waffle though. Hm. Anywho, I digress. Truthfully I would always order a sweet breakfast when the event arises. Alas, I tend to go with some protein instead. Maybe next time I'm in C-town at the Broken Yolk, I'll try that giant cinnamon roll.
Almost every morning I have toast/English muffin with peanut butter and jam. Tomorrow, I'm trying something different. I'm trying a protein smoothie. We'll see how that turns out. Seeing as I bought English muffins, I'm not sure how well this will turn out.
What type of breakfast do you usually crave?

Civil War and Drowsiness
Today feels like Sunday. I'm so glad it's not, due to the fact that then finals would be starting. Oh dear.
Breakfast with Santa was... seriously? It was super lame. We even had to pay just to eat boring breakfast food! Santa was just sitting in the corner. It just sounded like it would be more... eventful.
Yeah, I realize how weird it sounds to say that we had to pay, but there are so many events that happen that include free food, I've gotten used to it.
I was convinced that the Civil War was going to be at 6 at night and was shocked to see it had already started at 12. I missed the first 30 minutes! This is what happens with miscommunication texts. Also the reason talking on the phone is better.
...What kind of teenager am I?
Anywho. The game was in my opinion, great! I was glad it wasn't a blowout like a lot of people were thinking.
My side? I may have grown up at OSU, and I love my beavs...
...But I gotta say, I love my ducks. Plus, they are rockin' it out this year.
The one act is tomorrow! Truth be told, the whole things has gotten a lot better since we started. I'm excited for it, but strangely a little glad when it's over. It's a bit stressful. I'm so excited I got to be a a part of it though!
Today otherwise has been... odd. I've slept a lot because I didn't get much sleep last night. Strangely enough I'm still tired. I also haven't eating anything that can be counted as real food today except maybe that apple. A slothly day? Perhaps. Definitely not used to it. I like eating real food. Back to normal tomorrow? Hopefully so.
The one productive thing I did today? I managed to put the sheets back on my bed. For pretty much a week I've been sleeping on only the mattress and white cover thing. It's been a distracting week. This could be the lamest I've ever been on a Saturday this school year. Do I care? Not really. I want to relax, so I will. Besides, finals are coming right?

Breakfast Foods All Day
This week has been going pretty fast, hasn't it? Well, maybe that's just me.
This morning I had a strange encounter in the community kitchen. I suppose I should explain that more. Well sometimes I like to eat breakfast in the dorms, so I go to the community kitchen and eat while getting ready for the day. Usually I am alone, but today there was someone else in there. It was a girl from the next hall over. I had seen her and said hello as she walked by, but I feel like she doesn't speak English as her first language. So, it ended up being awkwardly silent in there. One thing I did notice that she ate so much! She had a mug of granola plus FOUR pieces of toast with Nutella! Where does it all go?!
I went to the writing center today to get help on tweaking my Oedipus essay. The guy didn't feel very helpful, but it always helps having someone go over something with you. He smelled like cigarette smoke, ick.
I've been feeling under the weather today. I felt pressure on my cheek all day, and I'm pretty sure it was my sinuses.
Pretty much all I've eaten today has been Peanut Butter Crunch. Seriously, it's ridiculous. My mom brought it up to me the last time she came up. Tasty cereal like granola and PB crunch is something I go nuts with. I will eat a ton of it. I need to stop getting it.
Enough of the whining! Goodness, it's getting old. I signed up for donating blood in a few weeks! Cool. Also, I'm done with my big essay. Lovely.
Hope everyone has a lovely evening!

The Not so Tasty Breakfast and Getting Work (kind of) Done
Friday is lovely, isn't it? It is here on campus. Most people have less or no classes this day, so it's pretty much a weekend day.
This morning since I didn't have class at 8, I went down to Valsets to have breakfast. I decided to try something different, so I had some oatmeal. I added some chocolate chips, some peanut butter and a dash of brown sugar. I thought it would be scrumptious. Uh, no. It was disgusting and had no flavor. I tried a few bites, then got rid of it and had my classic breakfast.
I tried getting work done today. I guess I kind of did since I typed out my script for theatre and wrote up an Experience and Learn It for FYE. The only thing was I did more things that I could do later before I worked on things that are due sooner.
I am spending so much money lately. I need to start figuring out smart ways to spending. One of the things I spent money on was part of my Halloween costume. It's a secret for now, but it will be pretty sweet!
One of the biggest problems I find with blogging is that I always think of something interesting that I wanted to talk about, but when I get down to sit at the computer, I forget about it. Do you ever have this happen?
Danyon, Jason and I worked on a constitution for the club we are trying to create today. Very successful! We still need to get a few more people to sign up and to get a club advisor, but other than that we're almost there!
I ran 3.5 miles on a treadmill today for 33 minutes. The one positive aspect to running on a treadmill are no bugs. I cannot STAND bugs. They are seriously the dumbest things ever. For some reason they cannot see a 6 foot 7 inch tall female running towards them, even at an extremely slow pace. And they also seem to aim right for my left eye. A serious disgust I have against them.
Tomorrow is the Battle in Seattle! I'm really excited, it should be fun. Basically all day we get to explore in Seattle and then go to the game. I think I'm going to try as hard as possible to stray away from my room mate. Why, you ask? Why, because she is a downer. Almost on EVERYTHING she has to say, "Oh, this might not be fun, that could be stupid, etc..." It's a buzzkill. She's one of those people who doesn't want to do something until she tries it and then has a blast doing it. The before can just become tiresome though. I'm just ready to have fun and explore tomorrow!
A week exactly until my birthday! Yipee!
What's your biggest pet peeve when you run? What breakfast can you not stand?

Granola and DJ-ing
Oof. I wish I was one of those people who could run on no sleep, but I need at least 7 hours… That will probably have to change with college. I must start enjoying the taste of coffee.
Almost every morning I have one of the most delicious breakfasts ever. I have a mug of granola, milk, and some peanut butter mixed in. It may sound a bit odd, but it is wonderful. I’ve been getting the granola from Valsets since I have early class most of the week and get there before class starts. I must get more granola though…
I saw my mom and grandma today. We were making sure that my financial aid was all correct for the umpteenth time. I just like to make sure, you know? I worry that I’m doing the thing everyone says not to do which is see your family a lot the first year. My mom reassures me I’m fine. I suppose I over think these things.
My run today was a weak one. I was not feeling it, I was tired, and I didn’t drink enough water. I ran for 32 minutes but my Runkeeper bugged out again. I’ll have to do the drive test and see how far it was, but I think it was only 3 miles. Since we’re on the subject of running…
I am officially registered for 2011 Cascade Half Marathon on January 16th.
This is crazy! The most I’ve ever run I think has been 6 miles, and that was a run/walk. But I can do this. I WILL do this. And it will be awesome.
I’m getting sick. My throat is starting to really hurt. I’ll have some O J tomorrow and get some sleep tonight. I know you should be doing these things before to prevent getting sick, but I’m a college student! I don’t think logically!
My cousin deejay-ed a dance over here! How cool is that? I went for a little bit, but my throat was killing me after awhile.
It's time for me to drink some tea, finish my Shakespeare reading and then it's bedtime for me. Night everyone!
What's your go-to breakfast? What are some things you do when you are starting to get sick to feel better?

Colder Weather, Pizza and Wishlists
Today was a colder day. What is this madness?
I need to wake up earlier to go to Valsets for breakfast because I am running out of breakfast foods. Today I ate my last Bagel Thin and I have no more Peanut Butter Crunch. Only Cheerios, but still. Besides, I need to use my money on my food card.
One thing that I've been seeing today are that the cleaning people are ALWAYS cleaning. Both times I sat down at a table in the hall today the cleaning guy had to come in RIGHT then. I kind of snapped at him, which I feel bad about now. It's just a little annoying.
What else happened today... Went to the coffee shop on campus, had classes, had this pizza thing in the common area with our residential professor... It was a good day.
I've noticed I've been really negative lately and it's got to stop. When I write, I seem to write only about the bad things. However, life is awesome!
Another thing that makes life awesome? My birthday is on the 22nd of this month! I'm excited, even though nothing happens when you turn 19. It's just you last year of teenagerdom. Even though I've received my birthday presents via school clothes, I still have a wish list:
Last thing on my wishlist was this cookbook for single serving cupcakes you can make in a microwave with a mug! How fun is that?
Even though I know I won't get all of these things, it's always fun to make wish lists. See you all tomorrow!
Do you have a wish list? What's on your wishlist?

About the Artist Dress
I love Modcloth stuff. My favorite pair of shoes is from modcloth!
You've Got it Jade Dress
Another dress from ModCloth. Cute!
Eat This, Not That! Supermarket Edition
I think this book looks really interesting. I browsed through the restaurant version in a bookstore, and it was fun to look at.
Itunes Giftcards
I've been wanting new music, but I'm a good little kid and don't want to steal it!
Wireless Headphones
During my runs, my headphone wires are always bouncing around obnoxiously. It would be really cool to have wireless ones! Since I'm mentioning running, I ran another short run 1.73 miles in 15 minutes due to lack of time.
Even though I know I won't get all of these things, it's always fun to make wish lists. See you all tomorrow!
Do you have a wish list? What's on your wishlist?
