Pizza...not so mmm these days


Today was another day of feasting on pizza. Last week I had pizza every day. This week has been better, today was my first time (its only Wednesday). So those in charge at the SID program almost always get pizza (because it is the most feasible), from the local pizza joint, for our meetings, seminars, and other random gatherings we have. Lately, as many students especially international prep to go home, mutterings about weight gain have slowly taken precedence over the crap happening in the world, from men and women! It's no surprise with our high consumption of pizza, like the one in the photo, which yes I did have 2 slices of today.  I did some googling and found that one slice of cheese pizza has 230 calories (http://www.dietbites.com/Calories-In-Pizza.html). I would say in each sitting we average about 2 slices (for me 3 if there's enough). So thats 460 calories in one sitting and with our massive workload and utter exhaustion many of us don't make it to the gym. Even patting down the pizza in efforts to get rid of the grease is apparently proving to not be enough. You know what, for the time being the mutterings will continue until the next slice comes our way, because hey, until us starving graduate students start making money, we'll take the FREE food any day. Cheers to the next slice!
