I must have been sitting in the strangest of positions a moment ago, as I have tried to get up but failed due to a throbbing and tingling right leg. I feel a crease in my calf and I think that means my slipper was cutting off circulation to my foot.
And, because of this, I have decided to update my followers (ha, since I have none!) on my (un)eventful January.
I have gotten into a routine, of sorts, now that I am in the second week of the spring semester. This routine will help me to make it to the gym a couple days a week and to have more fun with my roommates. Oh, and make time for school work. Yippee.
I've made it a point to be more conscious about my wasting as a consumer of goods. Since I've been back to school for almost two weeks now, I have accumulated a grocery bag of recyclables - it's bursting at its seams! It worries me, though, because I know this means I have wasted a lot in the past since it only took two weeks to save up this much to recycle. Not only do I worry about my waste in the past, but I worry about how much everyone else is wasting. Ick.
It is hard to be conscious of waste as a college student living in housing that does not include a washer and dryer or designated recycling containers. If I want to recycle, I have to bring my bag of goods to my sister's house where there a recycling bin to be picked up by the city's sanitation department. If I want to use cloth towels and washcloths to clean up messes and to dust, etc., I need to take those cleaning cloths to my sister's to wash. Unfortunately, it is easier to use throw-away rags and paper towels.
Needless to say, I have a room full of recyclables and dirty cloths at all times. It makes for a messier room, but hopefully it's worth it.
...Now that my leg has feeling, I guess I'll get up and be productive for the night.
