In other news, I don't think my roommate takes showers. I think you should know this. Why do I think this? Well, I get up bright and early at 6am. I shower. And go to class. On mondays, when I return at 10 am she is still asleep... and when she gets up, she doesn't shower. On Tuesdays, I am there all day... (except for the same hours that she is at class) and no shower. On Wednesdays and Thursdays, I get up at 6am and shower. Then get home at noon and shower again. She is generally still in her pajamas with hardcore bed head. No shower. I've seen (well haven't seen that would be gross) her shower exactly ONCE the whole time I've been here. It's been 2 months... And trust me, I'm (unfortunately) here a lot. CREEEEPY. I don't believe she usually showers at night either. Because generally I'm here at night... and trust me, she comes into the room and I wake up... She turns on the lights and everything and then I can't go back to sleep. No showering happens. Fortunately, I haven't spent enough time with her to notice an odor... but these are just my observations. She also refuses to change the toilet paper roll... like seriously. You know that point where there is like one square left and no one wants to use it because then they'll have to change the roll? She does that... a lot. I tested it one day... (well over a course of 3 days actually) I left the one little sheet and stuck a roll in my drawer so I wouldn't be creepy.. it remained one sheet for like 3 days. GROSS. And I was a snoop and looked in her drawer... no toilet paper. I am a little afraid of these personal hygiene issues..
OH! Guess what! I think my roommates are having another drinking party tonight. Grrrreat. They are my favorite things. Let me tell you a little story about drinking parties in my apartment. Once upon a time there was a girl named... let's just call her Topanga. She lived in an apartment with a bunch of crazy girls (a bunch meaning two). The two crazy girls, who we will call tweedle dumb and tweedle dumber, decided to have a drinking party that lasted into the weeeee hours. This was very annoying to roommate Topanga who doesn't drink and also enjoys sleeping at night (though thank goodness Topanga did not have class at 7 am the next morning). The next morning, bright and early (though not really so bright because it's becoming the time of day when mornings are dark) but early nevertheless, Topanga decided to be a VERY thoughtful and respectful roommate. Early, early, early she decided to wake up, turn on all the lights! And make lots and lots of loud noise! Best remedy for a hangover right? :D This made tweedle dumb and tweedle dumberer very UN-happy, therefore making Topanga a VERY happy camper. The end. Wasn't that a lovely story? It might just become a true story if things get bad enough. Just sayin'. Now they're discussing how the guy that's here is still planning on driving himself home tonight. Stay off the roads tonight, kiddos. Be safe. Stay inside.
The good parts of my day though, I successfully integrated "My biological clock is ticking and I want babies NOW!" into a conversation that wasn't about Shakespeare abridged. I feel like my life is a success. Don't you even think about asking how I integrated that phrase into an actual conversation... but I did it. And only one person in the world is ever going to know how I did it. So good for her. Sorry for everyone else.
Oh, I also (in order to escape my roommates) have taken a liking to going to the park and sitting beneath a tree reading a book. Today it was COOOLD though. Fall is in the air! There are little boys learning how to play flag football and little girls learning soccer! It's the best time of year to be a little kid! ...Unfortunately I have to ACT like a GROWN UP! EEW. But don't worry... I'm not a grown up (Shout out to the Pan Cast) I just have to ACT like one sometimes because that's what THESPIANS do. Yes.
I have Don't rain on my parade stuck in my head. Hence the title. I also like the word Hence. Hence my overuse of it. :) Ta-da! *jazz hands*
OH! TODAY! I achieved greatness in my lab class. :) *big smiles* We had kind of an iron chef competition where we got 3 ingredients (a protein, veg, and starch) and had to make a meal out of them. Usually we have between 3-4 people in our groups, but today my group consisted of only me and one other girl! We were terrified for our ingredients. Luckily we got some pretty easy stuff. Chicken and broccoli... but then, we got Blugar Wheat. What the heck is bulgar wheat?! I don't even know. We tried to read about it on the package... but all it really said was that it's SUPER healthy. It had a recipe on the back of the package, but our "common cart" (the only place we could get other ingredients) didn't have any of the ingredients for it... So... I kind of cheated a little bit and googled it from my phone. I honestly didn't get much help. But, the first recipe it listed was for a pilaf. Pilaf is generally done with rice, but hey there was a recipe for bulgar wheat pilaf... so it couldn't be that bad right? We ended up going with that. We first made vegetable stock for our pilaf (that was a really good strong stock, i was impressed). Oh, and our assignment was to make this plate with a veg, starch, and protein... and then if we had time we were supposed to try to make an appetizer or a dessert. We decided since there were only two of us and we had to make stock, we weren't going to do that. So we had a super simple dish. But we made this pilaf... IT WAS SOOO GOOD. Chef's words for it were "It's a little untraditional... but it's surprisingly really good." I'll take that. Everything else was easy. Sauteed the chicken and parboiled and sauteed the broccoli. Topped it all with a Mornay sauce. it was pretty darn tasty.
The picture does NOT give it justice by the way... it was really a lot better looking than that. And it tasted so good! Kelsey (my teammate) and I pretty much ate our whole pot of it. Heh. It was a lot of carbs. But it was good carbs! ha. yeah that's pretty much my life. :)
