The seven days after....

It’s been one week since I cancelled my meal plan. So far so good, I’m still alive. The thing I’ve noticed however, is that I feel really sleepy after eating my own food. Maybe it’s because I tend to overeat or maybe the cooking is taking up too much energy. I believe it’s the former, because I’m really poor at estimating how much rice I have to cook for myself. I always end up having this bit of rice left over that’s too little to keep for the next meal. So it ends up in my tummy.

Anyway, it was grocery shopping day today. Managed to spend just under $30 for the groceries this week. If I keep my expenses to $30 a week for food, I’m going to be able to save a lot. I’ve got to be really careful with my spending now, because I’m trying to save up for a trip during winter break. I’ve sold quite a bit of my camera equipment but it’s still not enough to fund the whole holiday.

I was just thinking the other day about avoiding crashing into people when you’re walking lets say in a mall. Which direction do you usually turn to, the left or the right? I have this theory that the direction for which people avoid each other depends on the traffic system of the country they’re from. Like the Americans will most naturally scoot to their right, while the rest of the world (joke) will move to their left. So just make an observation next time you’re walking head on into someone. It may not be a conscious thing but merely by instinct.

So, the weekend is here. What do I have to look forward to? Hmmm, we’re having our first band practice for the Gempitafest tomorrow. Don’t know how that’s going to turn out. See you tomorrow.
