Since it is now February, I've decided to update y'all on my resolutions! I am still trying to cook as much as I can, but it's harder now that school is kicking into high gear. I also have my new job - I got an assistantship with one of my professors from last semester. So Tuesday and Thursday afternoons are spent holed up in "my" office, completing random projects on top of all the other work and reading I have to do for my actual classes. Not that I'm not grateful; I really am. My professor is so connected, and I have to admit that most of the time I have a blast, especially with the undergrad I work with, Ali.
So while cooking may not be at the top of my to-do list after 8 hour days (yeah, I'm gonna starve in the real world), I have kept up with resolution #2: exercise more. My friend Staci and I started the "Couch to 5k" program two weeks ago. I just finished week 2 today, and let me tell you, this is no piece of cake for my lazy behind! I end up running around 2 miles, 3 times a week. I am NOT looking forward to finishing this program (especially because it overlaps with spring break - yuck! I just want to eat good Southern food on break, not run!), but I know it'll be good for me. I am be no means a runner, but I at least have bathing suit season in the back of my mind to keep me motivated.
As far as reading goes, I found that I read SO much for school that I just don't even want to pick up a magazine. So I'm amending that resolution (hey, it's my resolution, I can do whatever I want!): I'm going to watch movies. Lots of movies. All the classics, all the new releases I didn't get to see, all the ones I always heard about and never watched. It's about time I get some good use out of my Netflix membership!
That's the update for now. Being the wonderful Southern hostess that I am, I am hosting a Super Bowl party this Sunday for a bunch of my Boston friends! I'll update you Sunday or Monday with recipes, pictures, and let you know how it all went!
