What I learned this past week:

Vegetables and fruits with the most color are healthiest for you.
I need to stop spending on hats and jerseys
I need to learn more about the situation of oppression in Burma; Burma VJ is a documentary worth watching
Blueberry cinnamon muffins are amazing
Set the top of the oven at Low and the bottom at Medium to avoid burning pastries
That even though Cap and Trade is one of the best solutions out there to address our environmental problems, it is only “marginally better than terrible” and we should stop conforming with that.
That everyone should watch the Story of Stuff. Annie Leonard is amazing! www.storyofstuff.org
I hate the rain. I can’t do any work when it’s a rainy day. On the same note, “el Niño” is ruining Spring quarter
That Barcelona is the best team in Spain (old news, but whatever)
I am addicted to cookies and gummy worms
I could eat a cucumber every single meal – also, cucumbers are 94% water
“Fail fast and fail forward” – go into a new industry, follow your passion, and failing is not a bad thing, as long as you keep looking to the future.
Thursdays are my new “hump day” – going to work after happy hour doesn’t make me particularly happy
My new favorite organization in Guatemala: Long Way Home. Check them out at ww.longwayhomeinc.org
A large percentage of the waste and recycling that the US produces is shipped to India and China. Plastic, which is reusable, is many times only partially recycled
My favorite thing about Happy Hour in EBF is the fact that, because it never gets super crowded, I can dance freely. Unless, of course, Cattle Ranch is playing
Dan Gratch would be the best roommate ever
ESPN is the worst. I hate their world cup coverage…blah!
I have terrible paddling form because my lower back is way too sore after our canoe trip
You can buy plans/layouts to build your own tree house for $40 online….or you can just figure it out by yourself.
