KOMBUCHA!!!!!!!!!!
IFermented Tea. Yes, fermented tea. While only 0.5% alcoholic, it's still probably the most delicious drink ever. Sort of like beer, if beer were light and sweet. It's a little bit carbonated and smells a bit like juice that's been in the fridge too long.
I've only had the original, but the boy at Harvest Moon Health Food, who didn't understand the humor when I saw a poorly phrased sign at the desk advertising fresh goats milk and thought that actual fresh GOATS were being sold, told me some flavors are coming in the next week. I can't wait!
Here is a picture of kombucha being made.
It looks sort of gross.
But it's not.
Anyways...
Yesterday was senior skip day and Laura was gone, so my classes were pretty empty. Except English and Calculus... which were the ones I WANTED to be empty. But Karack Osborn is a great English teacher and I love him!
When I got home the parents were still gone so Ben and I went for a drive. We cashed some of my checks (except I had to deposit them and can't actually cash them until the bank makes sure they're legit and such), got ice cream at Deary's, a jug of orange juice at Price Chopper (which we drank from directly while driving with really loud music playing, bad ass), and kombucha at the health food store next to Teacher's driving academy. Then we stopped by Country Kitchen.
Thrift Store.
Does my phrasing confuse you? I hope it confused you as much as their sign confused ME. By the seperation of the words you'd think... there's a thrift store there. Next to Country Kitchen. But no, it's a BREAD thrift store. Thrifty BREAD. So Ben and I walked around awkwardly in it and then left before we were forced to buy bread! We searched around the back of the building for the hidden thrift store but found only Country Kitchen delivery trucks.
Next we drove to Stoggy Hollow in pursuit of a job for Ben, but to no avail (they were closed). So, back to Putnam it was: lemonade for me and coffee for Ben at Victoria Station and chicken/rice/peas/apples at Price Chopper. Then eating, then sleeping for me...
Today was pretty okay. English was okay and the test in Calc went all right, missed the rest of school for that leadership thing. Also, I made a new friend! And Tori told me how she was talking about how brilliant I was in English and how I helped her out with her poem which made me happy because it assured me that a least some people don't think I'm just being ridiculously annoying and obnoxious when I jump in and answer questions all the time...
I dropped off my painting to Hanczar for the exhibit at QVCC's Spirol Gallery. I actually feel pretty honored because they could have given the spot to two seniors and instead it's Kelly (senior) and me (not). Maybe they had to pick a senior AND a junior? But maybe not. So that's cool. But it was uncool that the art teachers told me a day before that I needed a piece ready to hang. Awesome guys, thanks.
Today Zach and Ben and I went to the grocery store, I stopped in TJMaxx to get shorts and a summer dress, and we got more Kombucha.
We also got natural cheetos. It was my idea and I shouldn't have had it... because I can't stop eating them! I not usually like that with snacks, but these are the food of the gods!
I'm being shoved off the computer. But its probably for the best.
Peace.
