Okay so first off, this "thing" my roommate and I are doing is allegedly called 'The Food Stamp Challenge.'
Now, that's all fine and good. But my stomach is not.
Seriously (and this may be TMI, so you could easily ignore this paragraph... like right now, I am giving you that opportunity) I have been in severe gastrointestinal duress since about 3 am on Thursday. I think my body is sick of essentially only eating rice and beans. It woke me up, made my classes hell, made eating even less fun, and refuses to be quelled. I spent one class doodling delicious foods instead of taking notes and in the evening I had hot water (because I can't afford tea). Somewhere in the margins of my notebook are a series of complaints about my current situation.
Hardships aside, I'm not giving this thing up. Yes, it will be hard at work today to avoid all the delicious, nutritious goodies that are freely available to me. But it will also be so rewarding when I've proved how ridiculous it is that my 'Food Stamp Challenge' is other people's 'life.'
