Another way to put off doing my homework.

Today Zach and I went on a hike. It was great and relaxing and we got out of the city (our favorite part). I absolutely love hiking and plan to go a lot this summer, a lot a lot. A city like Pittsburgh drives me mad after a while, but I think any city would drive me mad after a certain period of time. We've both realized while living here that this is not where we want to stay after I finish school. And depending on graduate school, the sooner we get out the better. But anyway, we hiked for about an hour and a half and then went to a farmer's market / green house that we found a long the way. Oh my, I was in love. I got some potatoes, beautiful asparagus, garlic, and some tasty pepper jack cheese. I wanted just about everything there but of course that wasn't realistic. We've been buying our food organic, and I feel so much better. I've made a vow to start eating healthier and to keep my body in healthy shape; and I already feel good about the decision. The pesticides and herbicides that are on most fruits and vegetables terrify me, and I just can't support it any longer. And even though I'm a poor college kid, I plan to do my best to keep up buying organic. But... anyway.
I work again all weekend, with a fourteen hour shift ending it on Sunday. But it won't be too bad and I will be making money to keep a roof under my college-student head! I've been feeling a bit down these past few days, but I'm not quite sure why. I wonder if it could possibly have anything to do with the fact that I'm reading The Bell Jar. I feel like I'm also going mad while reading it.

This asparagus was some of the most beautiful asparagus I've ever bought. And for some reason it made me very happy.
