First Day of Grad School
August 31st, 2010 § 7 Comments
I made it through my first day!
I knew I needed a breakfast that would keep me full and energized for the day so I decided on hot oats served up in my Buddha Bowl!
My Buddha Bowl contained:
- 1/3 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1 tiny squirt of the honey bear
- Cinnamon
- Jif blob
- 1 Tbsp. Bob’s Red Mill honey almond granola
After breakfast, I headed to spinning class. I loved this instructor so much! I really enjoyed her style of teaching and I was extremely sweaty by the time class was over. Success!
After showering and making a quick lunch, I headed to campus for my first class – biochemistry! There are only four grad students in the class, including myself. This biochemistry course is an introductory course before metabolism begins in October. Some grad students have already taken biochem, so the rest of them will join us after five or six weeks. The material we covered today was mostly a review, plus I learned a thing or five 
. Homework’s already done, score!
Dinner
While I was at an evening meeting, my mom so nicely prepared a lovely dinner for me! It’s so nice having her around for the first couple days of classes. She made grilled chicken breasts, a veggie casserole and yummy salads. Please excuse my lack of presentation, I was too hungry!
I am pooped! Heading to bed nice and early tonight. Goodnight!
Question of the night: What is your go-to breakfast when you need to stay full and energized?
I hope you’re enjoying yourself in Syracuse!
Oats are easily the most filling breakfast I can eat. They stick to me all morning.
I’m still in first week chaos but I’m definitely enjoying myself, thanks!
Good Luck!!
I love that Buddha bowl!!
Thank you!!
Where do you take spinning classes? At your school?
At home, I take spinning classes at my local YMCA and at school, I take them at Gold’s Gym. They do offer them at my school as well, but there is a greater variety of other classes at Gold’s!
