Spring Break

I've been on break since Thursday, since my only Friday class was canceled.
It's been...relaxing?

Thursday night TA's suite was planning on doing a sleepover. For whatever reason, not very many people showed up [I was the only person there who didn't live there] but we ordered some food, watched some DVDs, and it was overall a pleasant time. When I got home, PE IM'd me. He's going home for break, but he said he'll be around campus a couple times, and that he will call me if he's around. So now he has to call me, because I can't predict when he's going to be around. Nice. Responsibility averted.

Friday TA made dinner for me, her gay boyfriend, one of her suitemates, and her suitemate's boyfriend. It was good. Me and her gay boyfriend made ourselves some college cocktails [meaning we mixed his vodka with this pomegranate seltzer stuff because it was all that we had around] and 'helped' by making salad. We were all exhausted, so the night ended really early; I think we were all in bed asleep by 11:30.

Saturday I read a book, napped, and went over to TA's when she got home from work. We ordered up some Chinese food after a lengthy discussion about which places do or do not put semen and rat poo in the food [final consensus: they all do] and watched Knocked Up. I got back to my room around 2, watched another movie on my laptop, and went to sleep.

Today the plan is to shower, lurk around, maybe read a little, and go to the grocery store with TA when she gets back from work. I should make a grocery list; I'm just getting some general survival food and toothpaste, but I'm a total child and I'll end up with cheese and candy if I don't have a list.

[Edit: Quite a Bit Later]

JS' General Survival Food [and Toothpaste] List For Spring Break:
1 bunch of bananas. Off to a good start.
1 block of extra-sharp cheddar cheese. To replace Suitemate's cheese that I already ate. But I'm likely to eat this one, too.
1 tube of extra-whitening toothpaste.
1 bottle cocoa butter lotion.
1 can shaving cream. It is a can, right? Pressurized metal tube is more accurate, I suppose.
4 cups o' soup, 2 'Chicken' and 2 'Beef'.
1 package Hershey's Special Dark Kisses.
3 tubes Pringles...They were on sale!
1 package of 10 microwaveable spicy burritos. They were 2 for $6, should I have gone for it?
10 cups low-fat yogurt. Also on sale.
1 package of 12 string cheeses. Really 24 string cheeses, but I split it with TA.

As you can see, despite my best list-making efforts, I ended up with cheese and candy; Nevermind the rest of the junk I got. This spurs me to create the theory that I grocery shop like I'm high. Oh, and since getting back to my room less than an hour ago, I've eaten one cup of yogurt, a burrito, and cracked open the Pringles.
As a comparison: TA got 10 yogurts, some cereal, eyedrops, 12 string cheeses, and Tylenol.

Without a list its pretty much beer and chips when I shop.

Ah, to be on this "vacation" thing you speak of LOL Your grocery shopping tales crack me up.

For years shopping for me was a 12 pack of budweiser, a pack of marlboros, sliced cheese, sliced roast beef and a loaf of bread.
Block of cheddar cheese, dozen eggs, bacon and OJ, Toilet paper & toothpaste.

Now I no longer shop for food.

hooray for string cheese. I didn't end up eating when I got back...I was online for a little bit and then passed out. anyway, I am looking forward to making dinner on thursday night. and did you know A is coming back here on wednesday because home is boring? so excited.

I was kind of surprised to hear you'd eaten that food upon your return home from the store last night. but actually, I really wasn't.

I thought only schools in the midwest took spring break so early, hope you get decent weather.

sage: hah, if i was of legal drinking age you bet your ass my list would have been rather different

keyser: cheese is pretty fantastic, ain't it?

TA: did i see you at all today? weird. but anyway, that's neat that A is coming back. it's probably more that his photobooth is broken and he cant take and then send us any nudey pics of himself

tf: you're telling me! my school seems determined to have a break schedule such that no one can chill out at home with anyone else.

mnwhr: on friday, we got 8 inches of snow. but things are looking up for the rest of the week? shit i just checked; it's going to be rainy.
