Happy New Yearsss
Happy 2008 Everyone!
I don't think I have any resolutions. Despite becoming somewhat distanced from people last semester, due to my own issues and dealing with things, I think I've actually accomplished a lot. I feel like I've grown up a lot, that I'm a better, stronger person than I was last year.
If anything I guess my resolution is to keep up this whole vegetarian thing. I haven't had red meat since September, and only had chicken a few times (mostly when I was sick because I thought the extra protein might help me get better) since then and maybe one or two tuna sandwiches. I think I won't entirely cut out fish though, since I know I'll end up being dumb and passing out from lack of protein if I just get rid of all meat. I like how I feel though, and I don't crave it anymore at all. Pass me some more spinach soup please.
And no, it's not because I'm dating a vegetarian, though that is a plus I suppose. lol. Basically, it's something I've wanted to do for a while. Though I'm not entirely against killing animals for food, it's the WAY that they're killed and what their lives are like beforehand. Last year I did a lot of projects on factory farming and it pretty much convinced me that eating meat in a country where 90% of our meat comes from factory farms is not only not ethical but not very healthy or safe either. I've been trying to build up the courage to try cutting out meat for a while (anyone who knows me knows my deep rooted love of taco bell) and after my dad passed I was really depressed and didn't eat ANYTHING... my usual dealings with depression tend to not be reaching for a pint of ben and jerrys but rather involentarily starving myself... so when I started eating again I decided to just not start eating meat again.
So, there's that.
I can't wait to be back in Boston. I miss it so.
Happy 2008!
