meaty

I took a break from my homework and played around with my blog settings. I'm liking this new look for Spring. The header picture was taken in the epic gardens of Vaux-le-Vicomte in France. Once again, I'm missing Paris.

I have a half-used Moleskine Volant at home, but I left it somewhere in my room. Missing a place to jot small things/ideas down, I went to CVS the other day and bought a 99-cent pocket notebook. It'll have to do until this gets to me (I ordered it online and it should be in the mail today):

My family is visiting me on campus tomorrow (my mom is bringing me fruits!) since my brother is on spring break. As much as I like to think that I don't get homesick anymore, I still enjoy small doses of home every once in a while.

Last night, my floor celebrated TJ's 19th birthday at Jose Bernstein, a hole-in-the-wall Mexican restaurant in Westwood. We ate meat and it was fabulous! About meat-fasting, it was an interesting experience. I'll probably end up doing it again, but will I eat less meat on a daily basis? I guess we'll have to wait and see.
