  Sandwiches, Squirrels, Cheapskates and Cheech & Chong hi kids! since i have no interesting news (i study every day, all day long), i will share a few of the less notable and undoubtedly less interesting happenings in my world: 1. remember the peanut-buttered tree?
i left my apartment yesterday and noticed that someone had left little tiny peanut butter and grape jelly sandwiches under that very same tree. there was a squirrel sitting under the tree, eating one of the sandwiches. i don't think i have ever seen a squirrel hold a sandwich, but i suppose no one ever cuts them small enough for the squirrels.
and they even cut off the crusts. 2. i have no money, which is definitely not news. i also study at panera quite a bit, and i figured that dave and i were spending $2.47 per day to get small drinks and refill them all day long. the cups are styrofoam, so they don't disintegrate. this past week we took the very ghetto step of bringing our cups back to our apartments, washing them, and reusing them. right now we have two sets of cups, and i'm hoping we can make them last two weeks or so. hey, $2.47 adds up pretty quickly.
i could buy beer with that money. 3. someone in dave's building smoked a LOT of pot today. when dave and i got back after our daily pilgrimage to panera (with our reused cups in tow) it smelled as if someone had broken into dave's apartment and smoked up for several hours. they then sprayed cheap air freshener to try to cover up the smell. the whole thing gave us both kind of a contact buzz, which would be nice if we didn't have to study some more tonight.
wow, my life is boring. 4. speaking of drunken debauchery, i will be making a work-related pilgrimage to columbus next weekend. i am looking forward to hanging out with all the kids... if you are free, loyal blog readers, drop me a line and let me know the plans.
