poach; crib

Plain cottage cheese tastes pretty awesome. (Was desperate for a protein component for my dinner)...

Well, there are so many things I take for granted. Food is one.
Living by myself in my dorm (with acquisition of detailed knowledge regarding nutrition strangely prevalent in my nature, i.e. ramen doesn't cut it at all), with no kitchen and limited meal swipes (I get on average 1.429 swipes a day, that kinda means just a sole, pathetic, singular ticket into an all-you-can-eat dining hall per day), planning for meals tends to get... well... over-planned.

Got caught smuggling one stupid sweet potato out for dinner.

You spend forty-five minutes asking us to think of something so seemingly trivial, something that you could have told us in thirty seconds!

The ache for the familiar learning environment is pretty strong; I frequently catch myself dripping with sponge-like qualities, eager to gluttonize on hard facts about scientific concepts in a room full of apparent free-spirited right-brains (who do engineering!). I yearn for the luxury of interestingly listed theories to analyze in the private comforts of my own mind. The voice of my hypotheses takes its natural course and is never forced upon. Here, the curtains are forcefully torn down and my assessments, naked.

HELLOOOO.... just came back from the Chi Alpha winter retreat over the weekend, fresh with a newfound desire to possess scriptural wisdom and to simply rest in the Lord.

"I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing."

John 15:5

And.... I am completely swamped with work. Writing my first ever paper in college (I took a philosophy class last term and didn't even need to write a paper, and here I am in my required science and technology class writing about the MOST. FREAKY. HUMANOIDS. EVER.)




..... and waiting for my Chinese friend (a.k.a. Chinese friend FROM China i.e. a legit Chinese friend) to come back to her dorm so I can ask her questions.

"What's in that pot?"
"Huh? This?"
"Yeah."
"... peas and carrots."
"Why?"
"They are good for...." *interrupted*
