The funny thing about dandelions is that you can eat them and you wouldn't even know it from looking at them. They're weeds and they're fuzzy and the leaves are spiky-looking. But when they get really big the leaves are green and tasty and almost like spinach. My dad used to make them for us, God only knows where he got them from. He pronounced it "dandyloins". He used to make endives, too, which look like dandelion leaves when you cook them, but I don't like endives as much as dandelions. Something I didn't know that I just found out on Wikipedia (cause I thought about it and I wasn't sure if maybe my dad made endives every time and I for some reason thought they were dandelions sometimes): the root can be ground and roasted to be a coffee substitute. Oh awesomeness.
On the way home I saw a tree with purple leaves and it felt like Autumn for a second.
I cannot wait till this day is over. I can't wait to take a nap and then wake up and party myself to death. I think no matter how hard I would've studied I would've done maybe only slightly less badly than I just did.
