And yet, Rebecca is thankful...
One of my roommates cooked a huge batch of cookies early this month, and even with all four of us eating them, they lasted a pretty long time. I still don't know what kind of cookies they were, but I was able to identify chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, raisins, and oatmeal in them.
Today I discovered that I'm weaker than the wind. I was trying to ride my bike to work, but the wind was so strong that it practically knocked me over.
Pizza Hut pizzas may have gone the way of lemon meringue pies. I got sick on one once and now I think it's lost its appeal to me forever.
Today a reporter for the campus newspaper interviewed me for a story about "straight-edge students," which are students who don't drink, smoke, do drugs, or have casual sex. She told me I was the first person she'd interviewed who didn't do any of those things.
Exactly one day before it was due, I finally mailed my application for an assisstantship in France next year. I had to heckle a dollar off the price of a manilla folder and pay for stamps with a credit card, but I did it and I'm proud of myself. It may not seem like much, but just mailing the application was a big deal for me. JXB and Yeager were incredibly helpful, and I hope they'll continue to be if I actually get accepted.
