So before I start I just wanted to announce that my parents are coming this weekend which means I am about to have alot of good meals. I was also thinking about birthdays and food. It is my roommate's birthday tomorrow and so my other roommates and I were brainstorming on what we should do for her and every idea, every idea had to do with food. make her breakfast, take her to dinner, invite people over for cake, get her candy with a card. I just though that was really funny and I just remember being little and it was more about the toys...do we get more food obsessed as we get older?

If I had to compare myself to a Disney character I would have to choose Mulan. Although I have never pretended to be a man for any reason (noble or weird), I guess I would consider myself more of a tomboy than most. She is also very bold and clumsy which are two traits I seem to see in myself. She has trouble finding men...ironically until she becomes a man but Im not going to take that idea too seriously. Also, if I were able to learn the art of Chinese war highkicks, I would want mine to look like hers.

coldstone

so it was waffle wednesday and you only get this if you buy a love it...so going in for a kid size and coming out with a love it ended up making my stomach ache. I think its funny that they get you all excited for free stuff but then end up paying more than you though. that's the whole point of SWAG...its not really free cuz you pay more for it

breakfast burrito split

So i am a little late on the blog. my apologies. rough day yesterday. But yesterday me and my roomate got up at 7 in the morning (which is a huge deal since neither of us have class on wednesdays) and we made breakfast burritos. I am not talking whimpy, these things were mondo! First we made 8 eggs and scrambled them, then we made 6 strips of bacon, then hashbrowns (crisply cooked), then we set out the cheese, salsa, onions and the pack of tortillas that is so big it wouldn't fit on the big plates we have. A lot of work went into these. So We put everything in ours and were very excited to bite into it when at the same time both of our tortillas cracked and the contents poured out the side onto our fingers. Don't you hate that? well despite this, they were absolutely delicious and we had so many left over materials that our other roomates were able to get in on the action.

questions

I thought i'd answer the questions on Professor Larsen's blog...they seemed fun:
TEN YEARS AGO
...I wasn't tall enough to reach the top cupboards of the kitchen. My best surprise of the day was whether or not my mom packed me a lunchable in my lunchbox. Tetherball and Skip-it ruled all. (I was only 9 but being 19 now, tetherball still rules all)

THINGS I WOULD DO IF I WERE A MILLIONAIRE
-set up recycling stations in Utah
-travel to one new country every year

3 BAD HABITS
1. the classic one: biting nails
2. not using a straw when drinking soda
3. shaking my leg when I'm thinking hard

SOMETHING PEOPLE DON'T KNOW ABOUT ME
...is that i pretty much put barbeque sauce on everything. kind of gross i know, but im starting to grow out of it. I used to be so bad that I would put it on my salads

that time of the semester

It's about that time in the semester when each day you feel as though you have about five things due in class and about three tests. Whether this just feels like the case or whether it is actually true is irrelevant, no matter what you will stay up until about three AM trying to finish everything up, maybe watching an episode of the office in between. And during these assignments it has been my habit to also get a snack or two. It's weird that food really does help you stay up to finish homework or study. I have to thank food for that.

Food for the Weekend

So I went home this past weekend and I didn't realize the vast difference between the food I eat here as a poor college student doing my own shopping and home where my mom buys all the food. Its a huge difference, not only in the amount of food I eat but what types of food. I go for the cheap stuff here but my parents can afford the high end stuff: basically not top ramen. White vs. Wheat, Beans vs. Meat, PB&J vs. Turkey and Provolone. I got spoiled and now I am back to eating soup and saltines. It seems like going home almost everything had to do with food: meeting up with friends for dinner, road trip snacks, out to eat with the parents, s'mores over the fire, etc. I felt like the activities were revolving around food, which isn't a bad thing at all. We had 6 friends come with me and my sister so our refrigerator was PACKED full of food! My mom took every precaution she could so that we wouldn't go hungry.
