Well…you knew it was coming!
One down, 3 to go
When I arrived on campus I found a rocking chair in the sunshine to do some last minute cramming.
Then it was test time. I can’t really say how it went because I took it early and my classmates might read this! Honor code! But I can say I’m glad it’s over 🙂
After the test I did a little hiking to the nutrition dept. to pick up a form and deliver it to the career department on the other side of campus. Since there was a lot of construction blocking important pathways, what could have been done with a fax machine took me a manual 25 minutes! Ugh. At least it was exercise 🙂
Then I spotted a nice bench and decided to eat in my lap next to these flowers rather than go inside to a dark table.
I normally read blogs or watch Hulu.com shows on my computer when I eat on campus, but today I studied. Since I was in a nice setting, the studying wasn’t bad.
Today’s menu included a Tempeh, PB + PB Sandwich on Dakota bun. That would be pumpkin butter and peanut butter. Delish!!!
Plus this filling salad: spinach, red pepper, carrot, zucchini + goat cheese topped with Kelsey’s leftover homemade dressing. It is SO EASY to pack salads for lunch if you have things pre-cut.
Dressing was brought in a jar
Lastly, a really great orange.
My buddy from high school just posted about the latest HFCS news on his blog: HyperCurio.us. Thought you guys might be interested.
Let the studying resume!

Lindsey (Mrs. LC) says
Wow, what a gorgeous day, makes me want to move to NC right now!
I was just wondering if you have any plans/ thoughts on what you’ll be doing post-graduating/ R.D. exam? (Obviously you’ll be a R.D., but I wasn’t sure if you have any specific career path thoughts). This may be a personal question, so if you don’t feel like answering, don’t worry about it! 🙂
Danielle says
Great lunch!
good luck with the next exam!
Marissa says
I’m a big Hulu fan too 🙂

Good luck with your remaining tests. Glad you’re enjoying some fresh air and sunshine while you study.
Those seeds on the Dakota bun make me want to grab your sandwich right from my computer monitor. Looks so yummy. 🙂
Allison K says
Rocking Chairs! I was amazed on my trip last weekend (to Georgia) that there were rocking chairs at the airport! And I noticed them in Charlotte too! How inviting!
Melissa says
Great looking lunch!

Good Luck on exams!
That salad looks delish!!! And it is SO much easier when the veggies are chopped!!! 🙂
Runeatrepeat says
That bun looks like the crust of my bread. It’s not dakota bread, but it’s sooo good.
FitFoodie says
I miss the days of studying outside! Yummy lunch too 🙂
rhodeygirl says

meg says
Looks like it is beautiful there! Good luck with all your studies!
Vanessa says
You have rocking chairs on campus? That’s awesome! All we have is picnic tables and they’re always covered in snow or spiders…depending on the season. 😛
Shannon (The Daily Balance) says
pretty flowers! yay for getting one exam out of the way!
p.s. that bun looks so scrumptious!! 😉
Jenn says
Those flowers are gorgeous! Hope the next exam went well.
I have a question about tempeh – what brand do you buy? I tried the brand from TJ’s and I thought it was plain awful. I didn’t steam it first because I used it in a stir-fry, but maybe that was the wrong move?
Erin says
Looks like NC is having a beautiful day today. Pretty roses!
AlliJag says
Reds a good color on you! 🙂
Leah @ Simply Fabulous Now says

Thanks!
Christina says
you’re taking that sandwich to a whole new level with the peanut butter! I tried it with just pumpkin butter once and it was just as good as you say!
K says
Go, Kath, go!! You look cute, by the way! Those buns get me every time – they look so doughy and nutty!
Foodie (Fab and Delicious Food) says
Yay for a lovely lunch outside!
Adi (oatonomy.com - repaired!) says
A rocking chair on campus? Outside? You’ve got a cool school! 🙂
Looks like a gorgeous day there.
Oh She Glows says
You have such beautiful skin, Kath 🙂
Glad the studying went well outdoors…I love that.
zestycook says
Fun lunch Kath! Great snap shot 🙂
Kath says
Lindsey (Mrs. LC),
Nope, I don’t know yet. I’ll be finishing my masters, for one, and definitely blogging and hopefully keeping up my freelance work. I hope to open a private practice too – but I might also want to work somewhere for money too 🙂
rhodeygirl ,
It’s so easy with Word 2007’s themes!!!!
Jenn ,
Lightlife’s – the kind at TJ’s. It’s a bit of an acquired taste, I admit.
AlliJag ,
Thanks 🙂
Oh She Glows,
Thank you! It’s the BareMinerals – and I NEVER wash my face at night! Keeps in the beauty oils 🙂
Kath
Lindsey (Mrs. LC) says
Kath, thanks so much for getting back to my previous question. I know what a busy lady you are so I appreciate it! 🙂
Jess M says
Hi Kath,
I second the beautiful skin comment by Angela. I was inspired by you to use Bare Minerals and love it! In regard to not washing your face at night, is this even when you wear the Bare Minerals and eye make-up? I have heard washing your face less actually helps break outs but I’m hesitant to sleep with the make-up on. Thanks!
Kath says
Jess M,
Yes, even when I wear makeup (which is always 😉 ) Since I put makeup on in the morning, by the time I go to bed, it seems to have mostly rubbed off. I know every dermo and doctor in the world recommend washing your face before bed, but I never have and have never had skin problems, so I just don’t want to mess up a good thing, ya know? If I ever wear heavy make-up or put it on close to bed time, I will take it off then.
Kath
