Day 6-10

It finally happened today. I was walking to get my lunch and I realized that I wasn't hungry. Now this wasn't because my breakfast was exceptionally big, but that's not to say it was the smallest breakfast either. I have had this breakfast before because the meals have begun to repeat themselves and it didn't have this same effect before, so I know my stomach's will has been broken. This realization was solidified by the fact that I missed the starting point for my nighttime snack. One of the staff actually had to come get me. That never happens, I'm usually checking the clock every half hour or so seeing how long it is until I get to eat something and when it gets to within 10 minutes I go there so they don't have to come get me.

Now just because I have adapted to the small portions doesn't mean I don't think about food anymore. Actually, I have recently found myself planning out exactly what I will eat on the first day I get out. Then I start thinking about all of the things I want to have that first week, but I'll start with the first day.

First, I want to have a half pound bean and cheese burrito with no sauce from Del Taco for breakfast since I will be getting out in the morning. Then for lunch I will have a Chipotle burrito with black beans, rice, cheese, mild salsa, medium salsa, guacamole and lettuce, although I'm sure it'll end up being just half of a burrito, but still I want chips as well. Then to finish the day off I will have Yard House nachos with a beer or two for dinner. I seriously can not wait. I generally don't think about food that much, to me its more of just something you need to get through the day rather than the focus of it, but for that day each meal will be a focal point.

As for the things I want during the first week I don't have a specific order or time. I just know that I want each of these at a seperat time throughout the week; a mocha latte, a malt, pancakes with syrup, salad from Olive Garden, peanut butter and jelly sandwich, ice cream, Subway sandwich, Mongolian BBQ, pizza with extra cheese and yet to be determined toppings. Did you catch that extra cheese part and all of the cheese on the first day? You know why? Because you know what there isn't in an Asian diet? You guessed it, cheese. No cheese this entire time and I freakin love cheese. I'm ok with there not being meat on my pizza ever again, I don't miss meat and my experience here having to eat it again has only solidified that, but there better damn well be plenty of cheese on my pizza. Which is why I could never be a vegan.

I know I said I was going to talk about my roommates, but that will have to wait till next time. I am really looking forward to all the visitors I will be getting this week. First there will be Alex tomorrow who unknown to him until possibly now will be joined by Ryan and Austin. This is because they asked to come on Monday and I can't sign up for another spot on the same day, so we'll all be together. Then on Wednesday, which will be the studies half way point, Casey and Natalie will be visiting. Even though Brett isn't coming this week I still want to mention him and say that I am looking forward to the fourth. That's it. See you guys.
