My Journal Entry, Week 2

Electricity:

Throughout these three days, I did pretty much the same things as last week; I tried to stay in public places as much as possible, taking advantage of the lights that would be on whether I was there or not as opposed to being in my room where I'd be using more electricity for just myself, I challenged myself to only have one light in the room at a given point in time, and I'd rush over to turn the bathroom lights off whenever one of my suitemates would leave it on (AGAIN) like my ever-loving life depended on it (jk ;)...just the usual. hehe...

Food:

I was a bit better than last week at being a vegetarian, probably since I didn't see a whole lot during the past three days that was meat-related that I particularly wanted. I DID get awfully sick of eating pretty much only cheese pizza and salad for three days straight, though...only one slip-up for the week --- and it was kinda deliberate...there were Caesar chicken wraps today and I was so tired of the same old pizza and salad routine that I went ahead and got one. It wasn't that much chicken though, and I avoided the "Cuban Rubbed Chicken" (that looked pretty good to me) like the plague at dinner. :)

Water:

This is the change that definitely annoyed me the most this week.

The first day, I got a four-minute shower in, and the second day I took a three-minute one. The third day I took a five-minute shower to wash my hair twice because I had a special event to go to the next day.

Looking at those sentences I just typed, I feel like I'm living like a monk or something.
It's just that I want to relax, not simply get clean. Showers USED to be therapeutic....grrmff.

That was my Week 2. :P

I like that you mentioned trying to stay in public places that would already have lights on. I hadn't thought of that and it helped me save energy the third week of my lifestyle project!
