It has been over a month since I arrived here, but today was the first time I have (or have assisted in) preparing lunch. It is usually difficult finding the time to prepare lunch – you either have to prepare it the night before and bring it to campus or have a rather large break in your schedule sometime in the midmorning – early afternoon, which is usually pretty rare. Luckily, on both Tuesdays and Wednesdays, I have no lectures or classes in the afternoons, so it is possible for me to make my own lunch on these days. Unfortunately, cooking requires a little preparation beforehand (buying ingredients) and some time to prepare, so I have not taken advantage of the favorable schedule as much as I would like. Nevertheless, it was good to have a home-cooked meal, control what you eat, and eat cheap!
