The SLO Life | Serenity Swing Hike

So this post is super super late. 

About a month-ish ago (maybe even longer than that), we took a little hike up to Serenity Swing, right behind where we live. Turns out it's right behind Architecture Graveyard--the first hike I went on in SLO. Except this one was more uphill and more slippery and more windy and a lot harder. LOL but that's probably just because I need to work on my hiking skills. And get less slippery shoes.

But the view up there was amazing, and we timed it so that we caught the sunset. It was BEAUTIFUL. We also sat on the swing and swung around. The only bad part was how windy it was because I kept feeling like I would get blown off the mountain. But we all survived :)

Dream Diary #35 | We're All Just Little Egg Farmers

I had another dream involving all of my roommates and hallmates. Even though I've only been at home and away from them for a couple days so far (yay winter break!), it's already been so weird and quiet without them. So it's only fitting that I had a dream about all of us together.

It was honestly one of the weirder dreams that I've had lately. And that's probably because I actually remembered this dream. I haven't been remembering my dreams all that much lately either--my sleep patterns are so whacked out so that's probably why.

Anyways, the dream. So it started off normal, we were all just hanging out at school in the apartments where we live. But then, it turns out that we actually weren't at school but on an egg farm. 

Yeah, we were all living together on an egg farm. 

Egg. Farm. 

I can't even begin to comprehend why we were on an egg farm. Or even why were living there. Like maybe we all became egg farmers together or something. But we were selling eggs and living there, and for some reason I didn't even see where the chickens were. Oh well. 

We Cook, We Eat, We Feed.

I took my first nutrition class at Cal Poly this quarter- FSN121. The Fundamentals of Food.

As the first official Food Science & Nutrition class on my path to becoming a registered dietitian, it was a lot of fun and was the perfect course to start off with. 

I had a great group of lab members--Kendal, Peter, and Matt. Even though we always finished late, we always had a ton of fun cooking and eating and singing to music together in class. I'm really glad that we ended up in the same group because it wouldn't have been the same without them.

We learned how to make a ton of different food in the class. There's nothing better than being able to taste and eat while you cook. The best day was probably the day the huge chocolate wheels were brought in. You know we definitely ate TONS of that stuff. SOOO DELICIOUS! 

My favorite thing we learned to make was pasta. I had always wanted to make homemade pasta because I love pasta so much. It was so easy and so fun, and I really really want to get a pasta rolle now. We even went extra and made fettuccine on top of the ravioli we had to make. Go team!

The best part of the class was that we had it for 3 hours right before/around dinner time. So we were always well fed on Wednesdays because we got to eat everything we made in class :) And of course there were always leftovers for us to take home with us too!
