Fasting

Sick of living off mainly unhealthy food while studying, and without getting any exercise done due to time constraints, I decided to more or less abstain from food. It’s surprisingly easy. I just stay in bed most of the time, reading and taking notes, and have a few cups of coffee throughout the day. I usually have a couple of pieces of fruit as well. Then at night I have dinner before I go to bed. Simple, really.

Furthermore, “fasting” seems to make my mind more alert, for some reason. I can see everything more clearly now… And it’s so easy to buy healthy food. I went to buy some groceries today, stopping by the supermarket first, and I didn’t even feel tempted to buy any lollies/chocolate/chips; only picked up what I was after, went to the fruit and vege market and bought loads of apples, bananas, pears, carrots and other stuff to munch on.

Also, I didn’t get much sleep last night. Strangely I don’t feel or look tired today, but I think it’s affecting me in other ways, because I’m really pissed off with my flatmates who kept me awake for most of the night by having showers at 2am, slamming the doors, as well as having people come and go at the most incredible times (basically all night long), whom they then proceeded to have loud conversations with outside my room. Thanks, guys. Do it again and I’ll kill you. That’s roughly 4 hours of sleep in total for me over the past 48 hours. No wonder I’m feeling just a little tense.

Other than that, I’m more than ready to farewell October and welcome November, and with it, summer and four months of holidays, and all the time in the world to do all the things I want to get done in the near future. (Ooo, I just had an idea. I’ll write a list of what I’m planning on achieving over the summer holidays, and post it here.) Only three more days of studying ‘till I’m freeee! And no longer a first year university student!
