Before I left the UK I was given some advice from one of my
Professors: ‘Come ready for intense heat, humidity, and excellent fried food!
:)’
I think it is pretty safe to say that since arriving in
South Carolina the only fruit or vegetables I have eaten have been the tomatoes
that were in my deep fried burger! This is a problem. I may return to England
double the size I left! Burgers, pizza, coke and cookies have been the starter,
main and pudding to my day to day eating schedule. But with a cookie and ice
cream parlour in the middle of the Student Union it is extremely hard to say
no, especially with my sweet tooth! Yesterday I tried a ‘chocolate double doozie’
cookie which is basically two large chocolate chip cookies stuck together with
a mountain of cream! Pretty yum!
So with all this eating today I decided it would be a good
idea to check out one of the two state of the art fitness centres we have on
campus. The Strom Thurmond Wellness and Fitness Centre literally blows Kent’s
Sport Centre out of the water! Not only is it free for students. Yes FREE! It
boasts squash courts, basketball courts, volleyball courts, a climbing wall
which is huge (over 50ft!), an indoor track, a gym with every machine you could
ever dream of and both an indoor and outdoor swimming pool! I guess I have no
excuse about eating badly with this literally ten minutes away from my front
door….
