A fine start

So despite my valiant efforts to make a post every day and my quite serious intentions to do so, I completely forgot.

Am I surprised? Not really. After all, yesterdays post would simply have been about how I messed up starting the new year already.

With, wait for it, a library fine. Oh yes. I checked out some DVDs last week and with the holiday, the 3-day DVD limit simply escaped me.

So $2 to the library today.

I guess that means I paid two dollars to watch Rise of the Lycans. And by watch, I mean have it on in the background while I waste the last days of the year using the internet.

Maybe next time.

There isn't anything I love more than Free Food

....There was free pizza here at work.

I didn't get any.


I guess I'll just wait until 1:30 or so to go reheat mac and cheese in the fridge, or eat left over salad.
Life is wonderful?

I don't need no education

Here I thought I went to college to, I don't know, bond with peers, get an education, network.

Most of all, I wanted to get away from idiots. Those people who just don't get it.
No offense if you are one of those people (are we not all at some point?), but sometimes I have to seriously wonder how these people got in here. I don't have a problem with them being here. Every one has the right to take a Chemistry class.

But if you are a science major, and can't understand that there is extra oxygen BECAUSE YOU ARE PUMPING IT IN, then maybe you should reconsider your career choice.


In the future, I do not want these people to be my doctors.

I come for the sand, not for the money.

I had an interview for a summer internship today.

Not sure how it went.

I don't think I'll get the position.

It's far away, appears to be no pay, requires training that I don't have, and they hope that the intern will return after being set free.

And I don't see that happening.

To be honest, I'm probably going to move to Maryland at some point.

And I don't even know if building engineering is anything I am interested in.

But being so close to the beach would be so nice.

I use an astrolabe to plan my future.

Scheduling classes was a disaster.

You would think that the honors program would involve perks, like a continental breakfast, after dinner mints, and priority in classes. Clearly not.

The math class I needed to get in filled up and I had to waver in. And then the people "helping" out decided to not do their jobs and made me struggle to get into classes that should have been easy.

They don't seem to understand that I can't register for classes if the co-requisites are filled.

And yes Doctor. I don't know where you've been but that class has always been required for an Engineering Major.

And someone else told you that about a half hour before I mentioned it again.

How did you forget?

waffles + batter = you're playing baseball all wrong

I've discovered that Potato Bread has a tragic flaw.

When I was buying two loaves last Sunday (not this past Sunday, but the Sunday before that), I was frantically clutching them to my breast while I ran up and down the aisles looking for food-stuffs I would need. Seeing as how I don't have a way to get myself to a grocery store, whenever I find myself at one I am sure to stock up.

As I was checking out, I noticed that in my desperation I had held them a tad too tightly, not unlike a child clinging to the lifeguard as he is learning how to swim. As a result, smack in the middle of both loaves were huge arm-shaped indents.

Oh, that should not be a problem! Right? I'll just kind of stretch it out when the time comes, or use it for peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

Well, I have gone through the first loaf. Mostly. There are four slices left in the first bag - the end caps, and two squished-beyond-recognition slices with holes in them from me trying to un-squish them.

I'm dreading the middle of the next loaf. I had no idea that potato bread was so sensitive! I don't have a toaster, or I would make toast. I can't use it for grilled cheese, because I don't have a stove - I would have to put it in the grill. This bread is useless to me. Maybe I'll just make peanut butter without the jelly. and force myself to take them for lunch to work.

It will be a sad little sandwich, but I'll cherish my thriftiness as I try to stretch the $70 I have left for food out for another month.

And if I do have to make more grilled cheese, I hope that I don't forget to take out the waffle plates first. As cute as it was, eating a cheese sandwich shaped as a waffle, I thought the bread was too compact. Not fluffy enough to my liking.

....Scratch that. A waffle-cheese sandwich is the second best type of sandwich there is.

It is second only to a peanut butter sandwich cut into the shape of a dinosaur.
