What did I learn that surprised me? How incredibly hard it is to deal with people that don't want to support what someone's doing within their house hold and purposefully throw meat into every meal you eat. It's rather irritating. On top of this, I was surprised about how hard it is to remember not to do something that's been drilled into my head since I was old enough to walk and talk. Remembering to NOT eat meat, even though your mouth is watering for a nice juicy steak if more than difficult.
What 'Enduring understandings' will I walk away with? Uh, I have no idea. Possibly that after this challenge, I'll be more aware of the things that are going on around me and all the possible impacts that are happening because of my actions. Haha, I know, I'll get my whole family to do this low impact challenge after the two weeks is up, and see how long they'd last. I'm sure I'll get something good out of this entire challenge, I'm honestly, just not too sure what yet.
What from this week would I like to share with others? Uh, honestly, there isn't really anything I want to share that's happened to me this week. Nothing all that exciting has happened so far....Um, I fail at not using plastic containers?
LOW IMPACT CHALLENGE-
Again with the plastic containers. Why? Why is my mother always doing that to me? From now on, Im going to have to get up a couple minutes earlier and pack my own lunch. She does it on purpose I swear.
I've still been taking quick showers, trying to make them quicker than they were before, but trying to actually get clean and still be quick about it, is hard. Eh, who needs to be fully clean? Pch!
Less meat, as i've said earlier, my blasted mother and her putting meat into every meal we've eaten since this challenge. I've told her not to, and yet, she does it anyways. I think I'm going to have to make my own dinners from now on as well. Which is better than not having any food at all. However spending three and a half hours trying to pick out the two pounds of hamburger out of the pasta, was not a pleasant experience.
As for no make up, I finally found my eyeliner, still no sign of the lost, and almost forgotten about eyeshadow. This moring I didn't even try to put it on. I stared at it longingly, but I didn't make a move to apply it. I just sighed, and walked out of the bathroom.
Hmm, re-usable plastic bags....not so much for the bags I brought to school this morning, but when my mom and I went grocery shopping yesterday we used them. It's a start, right?
