To study or not to study...
In just under three hours it will be fall break (for all practical purposes) because I don't think orchestra counts. Bah to that. I should be studying for chem, but I haven't yet, and I probably won't (the test is at 2:10...), because what's the point in studying if I'm going to fail anyway?? Heh...chemistry has never been my strong point. Nor my give a rat's ass point, either. I was supposed to take Astronomy, and where I heard that sucks, I absolutely hate chemistry, so I don't know which would have been the lesser of the two evils. Besides, I've got my lab grades, hopefully my next two paper grades, and my sparkling attendence to boot. So hopefully getting a D on this test won't kill me...
Anyway, so I have deemed it impossible for food on this campus to be edible. Ironically, this realization came after discussing how Americans are somewhat wasteful during my history class this morning (and somewhat being a huge understatement) but then we were talking about selective wastefulness (is that a word?). As Joe pointed out, we have no emotional connection whatsoever to the Commons or any of its offshoots (pub, terrace), however if our mothers or grandmothers made the food we'd probaly pick mold off of it just because it's worth eating. For example, today I went to the pub (bad idea, i know, but i have about $0.50 cents to my name outside of my bank account and an accumulating jar of pennies on my desk). I ordered onion rings, a cheeseburger, and soda. Of the three, only the soda could be deemed edible. I gained about ten pounds looking at the grease oozing through the bag from the single onion ring that found its way outside of the cardboard it was being held in. After eating about three onion rings, deeming them 'yucky' I moved on to the cheeseburger because I didn't think it could be that bad. I mean, it had pickles on it. But I was wrong. Sigh. I think it's against some laws in Wisconsin to ruin a cheeseburger. I mean, cheese and burgers - please. I was a little less harsh in my judgement against Ohio cheeseburgers, because it's Ohio, and they aren't known for their cows! I think they're known for potatoes - just kidding Kelly. Either way, my lunch - which had promise to be good! - was a disaster, and I had three onion rings, four bites of cheeseburger and half a code red mountain dew. Lunch of Champions. Sigh.
However, with the start of fall break also means going home! And home means food! But more importantly, home means computer WITH SCANNER! Yay! I'll be adding the link to my yahoo photos soon so that all of you can see my fun pictures from this summer. Okay, I think they're fun. And my CP friends probably will too. Oh well. :) Yay for yahoo photos!!!!
Alright, almost time to flunk a chem test! Wish me luck on getting a D!
But really, I will have forgotten about the test by the time I get back to my room, because then it's bumming around for a few hours, then orchestra, then BARS!! Yay! It's been one hell of a long week!!! Yay for going out tonight to have fun!!!
