The Not So Vegan Weekend

So it turns out, that Vegannism is not easy.
The purpose of eating Vegan, is not for me to be Vegan forever. Instead it is for me to form a better relationship with healthy food, and healthy cooking. Believe it or not-making vegetable curry goes a lot faster than making chicken curry. However, during stressful situations (such as a presidential election for the Graduate Student Association) it is a lot easier to not go shopping for food and instead go out for food. Oops! And once I finally went shopping, because stores are closed on Sunday in this wonderful country-I went to the wrong store that barely had any vegetables, especially not fresh ones-and no tofu. So I ended up with some frozen vegetables and frozen pizza. Not the healthiest option but for this weekend it will do-next weekend deserves some prior planning.
On some different news-I started doing martial arts on campus. The teacher is a win tsun expert, and does  a lot of self-defense. But he lets my friend Samaneh and I do a lot of Tae Kwon Do moves and it feels really good to use my muscles again! I have missed martial arts more than I realized. We also went to a Verein, where next Friday we have a Schnupperkurs-idk if it is a good idea to sign up as I have so much going on at Uni already. If I do then I will make it a mandatory schedule, and whatever comes up instead I will have to decline. After all, I cannot dance at every wedding!
I will keep working on the Vegan on a Budget, thus far I am still stretching my money too far-but I am getting better at anticipating what I will need and what I will eat :)
