Simultaneously very short and very long day today. Woke up quite late, around 9:05, and lamped in bed for another 20 minutes. Nearly skipped breakfast but I made some savory oatmeal, had it over some Michael Pollan talks about cooking. Didn't add any toppings though. Went to the computer to get my work up, but I couldn't sit for a while. I still felt quite lethargic. I went back to my bedroom to try and lay down and well, you know the drill, I fell asleep. Napped for 25 or so minutes. Woke up a little groggy and a little drool-y (you're cooked if you're at the drool stage, which was roughly my thought waking up as well) and so I immediately staggered over to the kitchen to make some coffee. 18g + a touch of oat milk. I looked around for a savory or salty snack but couldn't really find one so I was grabbing a few pieces of tamarind candy. Midway into coffee my uncle came by as he had picked up my grandma from her friend's house and so I had a savory pork floss and ham and corn pastry from their haul. Also had a few steamed taro pieces. Most of the day was doing my monster of a Humi midterm -- I had to write 10 paragraphs for 10 out of 13 questions. Talked to Dave midway about them learning to cook (they're somewhat averse to cooking which is crazy to hear since if you're moving out alone you have to cook at least until you can save up to eat out or generally buy meals routinely and even then that's not particularly healthy). Sent them some stuff about Michael Pollan, Alison Roman, and lots of simple/budget cooking resources. Later Ryan's dad came by with another box of bagels, and some shredded chicken wrapped in a tortilla (flatbread?) doused in a spicy green sauce which was absolutely delicious. I had 3 of those cute floppy rolls: 1 by itself, and 2 sandwiched in an everything bagel. Had the bagel over an episode of the Dick Van Dyke show about that dashing French man, Jacques Savon, and the sheer awkwardness of the Laura and Rob wondering if one of them (themselves) broke up the Savon's marriage with Yvette (turns out Savon and Yvette had already hated each other's guts before they met the Petrie's). Had some stitfried noodles with chicken and Chinese broccoli (that one crunchy green one I forget the name) and a fried egg, and was damn tempted to pluck another chicken wrap. But I resisted. God did I resist because I had already eaten three times, and very well, today! Well, I finished my Humi assignment by then, but it really took a lot out of me. Spent half an hour after 10:45 adding the CRUNCH paper to my slipbox, which oddly enough is/has been using up a lot more cards than I thought.
