This post is about noms

Hey ladies,

Today is a pretty slow day. It seems to drag on and on as it simultaneously speeds on. For instance, it seems like forever since I woke up this morning (which was actually a lot earlier than usual) and it will also feel like only a few minutes have passed from now when it’s 7:30pm and I still haven’t made my dinner.

Speaking of dinner, last Friday I had my dinner in the cafeteria at my old residence building. Holy cheese on a cracker (it’s a food that’s been around long enough that any god there is probably did eat it) it was weird to go back! I went with my friend Emily because we were both feeling a little nostalgic and wanted to see if the food was as… we remembered. We were not disappointed. The food was exactly the same mixture of surprisingly tasting and completely revolting that we both remembered.

Noms?

This made me think of you guys. All in first year and two of you stuck in cafeteria grind. I’ll be honest, when I moved into my new place this year I definitely missed the insta-food of rez life. Making my own meals takes so much time! Who knew? Certainly not me! Now having survived, although I’m not sure how given the state of my fridge, on my own food for a month and a half I’m starting to like it. So many options! I hope your food options are bearable. My university is apparently one of the worst for food so you probably have it better than I did. Valerie certainly does!

My entire school bag smells of acetone. That’s right. Today was another organic chemistry lab Tuesday. In case you didn’t know, aside from providing the smell which emanates down the entire hallways from the organic chemistry lab and reeks to epic proportions inside the lab, acetone is also the main ingredient in nail polish remover. It’s a bit hard to keep your thoughts in order when, along with all the other things you’re supposed to be doing, you’re inhaling acetone fumes in various concentrations for three hours. It’s not very conducive to studying for the midterm I have tomorrow. Neither is the huge headache I have. Ah, student life…

My mom just emailed me to tell me that my university has posted the exam schedule for this semester. She always knows these things before I do and it’s just a tiny bit creapy.

Also, when I clicked on
this video, START by wheezywaiter at Youtube, the first thing that I thought of when I saw the title was the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty and I felt like a total MUN nerd... until I realized that the video actually talked a bit about the treaty! Then I felt like a total validated MUN nerd!

I want to have a nap but instead I will try to study a bit more while I pre-emptively make my dinner and avoid my stomach getting mad at me.

Love y’all!
