Yogurt, food of the gods.

What do the following items have in common. . .?

1. Skim chai lattes
2. Fat free, organic frozen yogurt (stonyfield farm)
3. Fat free Greek Yogurt
4. Honest tea
5. Pre-made pesto
6. freeze-dried fruit, especially mangoes


This is my running list of things that I consume in high quantities at Wesleyan, but will not be able to eat/drink if I am unemployed when I graduate. They are the expensive, yuppy snicky-snacks that inhabit my life. However, this all changed today.

Today, an event occurred which I was pretty sure was never going to happen. Namely, someone offered me employment, a real job. One that I will have to dress up for. And I accepted, happily. This environmental consulting firm has agreed to hire me to research adaptation to climate change strategies - plus I get to work out of a hip downtown office. ARE YOU HEARING THIS??? It is pretty much a dream come true for me. Minus the whole dressing up for work thing. Today I noticed a girl staring at me in one of my classes and I suspect it was because I had been wearing the same shirt for three days in a row. Anyways, I plan to spend the rest of the day celebrating by eating my favorite yuppy snacks.

PS. I think non-fat frozen yogurt is the food of the gods. This entire pint, which I may or may not have just finished. Only has 400 calories in it. In the entire thing!!!
