This is it, I’m going vegan. As of today, the first of June.
I started the day with almond milk on honey free cereal before running some errands for my mother. Afterwards, I went in to university to complete my last assessment before the exam period, a geology practical examination.
The practical was a simulated basin analysis, looking at core logs, rock samples and fossils to identify the history of a location somewhere in the Flinders Ranges. I wasn’t really that good at the identifying of which type of basin it was based on its stratigraphy, but besides that I think I did okay. At least I answered everything outside of that section, so that’s not bad.
After the exam was over, I had arranged to catch up with someone, and I headed up to the Mansions food court to wait for her. I sat there for a while, watching some birds pick at an unattended plate. When she arrived we ordered from the Vegetarian Garden, my first lunch as a vegan, although I’ve eaten there many times, and so there was nothing really special about it.
We spent the day wandering through the mall, discussing everything from gender issues and fair trade to veganism, tattoo ideas and what we wanted to do with our hair. After stopping to watch our favourite busker, I walked her back to uni so she could buy printing credit and print out the material she needed to finish an assignment. She showed me around the hub, which I tend to avoid as a rule, then before we knew it, it was time to part ways.
