My hemp bagel from breakfast held off my hunger really well! Besides oatmeal and the occasional smoothie, nothing holds me over until lunch. So, obviously, I was pleasantly surprised when lunchtime rolled around, and I was barely hungry. I’m thoroughly impressed with these babies!
On my way into work, I grabbed an iced coffee with soy milk, cinnamon, and nutmeg at Starbucks. I’m loving the sweet kick that the spices give to it.
Lunch
Mal made his delicious pasta salad for dinner last night, so I took leftovers for lunch today. Mal is a pasta salad genius. I love the combo of ingredients– light and summery, but hearty and filling.
I have a killer sweet tooth today, so I made my second part of lunch into a treat: Chobani Greek yogurt + fresh blueberries + butterscotch chips. Holy yum! It’s all about balance, people! 
As previously mentioned: killer sweet tooth today! 
Class Day
It’s Class Day at Harvard today, so the Yard is totally bumpin’ with visitors! Commencement is tomorrow, so today has been full of related ceremonies and activities. It’s madness!
Needless to say, with all of this excitement happening right outside of my window, I’ve been quite distracted from my work!

The Class Day activities include a guest speaker, which, this year, is TODAYshow host, Matt Lauer.
I snuck into the Dean’s reception this morning and stood just 5-feet away from Mr. Lauer, but I couldn’t muster-up the courage to introduce myself. (FYI: In person, Matt Lauer looks just like he does on TV. He’s actually taller than I expected.)
Harvard is quite the hotspot for celebrities! In just 5 months, I’ve encountered Renee Zellweger and James Franco and met Demetri Martin and Mollie Katzen. What a cool job! 
Even at 8:30 this morning, the Yard was beginning to crowd with visitors.
I was invited to another “press” dinner tonight, so I won’t be blogging later on, but I prepared a post for you guys. It’s a fun one!

How fun to be at Harvard for graduation excitement! I miss that buzz… 8th grade graduation just isn’t quite as exciting for me!
WOW, so many celebs! What a neat celebration to have right outside your window.
Now I definitely need to check out the hemp bagels! How cool to work at Harvard. Amazing!!!
so exciting!!! It seems like there’s always fun things going on. I definitely want to try those hemp bagels now – that’s awesome that they were filling.

OMG I LOVE Matt Lauer. Watch him on the treadmill every week day for the last 6 years!!! Jealous!

Glad to here the Hemp Bagels held you over – I’m going to have to try those!
Awww – it looks so fun there!!! And Matt Lauer…swoon!
Ooh, awesome stuff going on right outside your window!
i’ve been getting iced coffees as part of my afternoon snack and i’m really liking it! it helps me get through my afternoon slump and gives me energy for a post-work gym session
The addition of butterscotch chips to Greek yogurt sounds sooo yummy!!
What a great place to work!
I work downtown Ottawa, so the best I ever see SOMETIMES is the Prime Ministers motorcade! LOL!
So Matt Lauer is every bit as sexy in person?! Are you going to the commencement?
OMG! I’m so jealous that you were in the same room as Matt Lauer. I saw that he was in Boston on the show today but I didn’t know why. He’s my favorite morning guy!
Sounds like a pretty interesting and fun place to work!
If two tiny tootsie rolls and a smattering of butterscotch chips is a Killer Sweet tooth, than I’m in trouble. This is why I don’t blog: I’m ashamed of my food!
Another celeb siting? Wow!
Sounds fun! Hope you enjoy it tonight.
I’m going to be on the hunt for those bagels!! Butterscotch and blueberries actually sound really good together!
The pasta salad looks amazing! I need to make some soon
greek yogurt with blueberries and butterscotch chips?? holy potatoes that sounds DELICIOUS! genius!
Butterscotch chips – YUM!!! Today sounds jam packed but extremely fun at the same time! Enjoy yourself tonight!!
Wow, your job does seem amazing. I’m graduating from UCLA and also had the pleasure of meeting James Franco. I had him for three classes. How lucky am I?
Bagels NEVER hold me over for long either. I’ll have to give these puppies a try!
I remember when I lived in Cambridge, I used to see the celebs in Harvard Square all the time… like Halle Berry… love it!
I love all the pics you always share of the campus!
I have had a killer sweet tooth today too!
I knew the bagel would come through! When you have the right ones with the right amount of fiber and protein, they are magical
