So remind me, why did I buy that kind of orange juice?

So I'm at MIT. I arrived yesterday and am now chilling in my room because I decided to be anti-social and leave DEECS (my freshman pre-orientation program) early in order to finish organizing my room and also get some violin practicing in (hopefully). However, I haven't gotten around to doing either right now. Instead, I'm sipping orange juice, listening to music, and using the computer. Great use of time, I know.

And with the first sip of orange juice, I realized that my memory of previous orange juice consumptions were indeed correct: orange juice with sugar replaced with Splenda tastes BAD! Or at least worse than "normal" orange juice. So I asked myself, why did I buy this type of orange juice? Well, there was a limited selection of orange juice at Star Market, the closest supermarket to MIT, and that was the only type of orange juice that fit the following two criteria:
1) pulp free
2) calcium fortified

I could've gone with "some pulp"--that would've been fine--but I don't think I saw any. And calcium? Well, I usually drink calcium-fortified orange juice. I like the idea of having strong bones.

DEECS has been cool so far by the way. DEECS = Discover Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.

And I really should get to organizing my room and all.
