Though it is not a subject in direct relation with the composition classroom, I feel it's an important matter to be mentioned; eating (sort of) healthy. Recently, I've been eating at least one doughnut and a (large) cup of coffee a day. I realize this is unhealthy, but I simply can't help myself as I don't afford myself enough time to make a 'real meal' or prepare a lunch before I leave my place. though I do make a point to exercise regularly, I still feel as if I'm being kept off track by my sugary, delicious, caramel-covered friend; or should I say foe? With this being only my first semester in grad school, I already feel a bit overwhelmed and I can't help but wonder how many more doughnuts and coffees I will consume when I begin to teach my own classes, thus having even less time for myself. Though I was lucky enough not to have gained the dreaded "freshman fifteen" in undergrad, I'm certainly on my way to reaching that point nowadays. So I guess this is just a post to encourage everyone to keep their health in mind- both physical and mental- and don't give into the temptation of the dreaded doughnut...too often :)
