Why Did You EAT That?
Hey readers! It’s getting to that terrible time of my life known as finals. Now, having gone to UW-Madison before, I know how terrible exams can be. At my current school (for only 4 more weeks… Yay! Wait…What am I gonna do when I gradjuhmate?) my exams aren’t difficult. They just aren’t. What IS difficult is the crazy workload that teachers choose to substitute for an exam, thinking that it will make things easier on you to have a project or a paper instead of an exam.
I love papers. Don’t get me wrong. Here’s my problem: when I add up all of the minimum page requirements for all of my class projects and papers that are due within the next 3 weeks, it comes to a grand total of… 115 pages.
But don’t worry! I’ve got 7 of those pages done, so far. Oh, and I still have 3 tests and two PowerPoints left. So, needless to say, my posts are going to start getting a little shorter. Maybe this will force the wordiness out of me.
On that note, I have a question for you:
What is the weirdest thing you have ever tried? This can be the weirdest tasting thing, the weirdest looking thing, the weirdest sounding thing. Let me hear it!
Leave your stories in the comments section below so that I have something to look forward to when my hands become crippled by carpal tunnel and arthritis. Thanks!
Until the next taste,
Whitney
Of course, if I offer my students the choice of a final or a project, most choose the project! Finals are easier to write and to grade. Sigh…..
For the last class I took, I wrote a paper about the Settlement Cookbook. We’ll talk about it at Thanksgiving.
Study hard and write speedily!
It’s a toss-up between two: an MRE and Vegemite. Being a radio guy, we always try to goofy things depending on what “National XXXX Day” it is. On one Swap your Brown Bag Lunch at Work day, I got Vegemite for a co-personality. She got me a military MRE – Meal ready to Eat. It included a burger, a brownie, and other not so memorable items. It came in sealed plastic pac and did not need to be cooked. It DID need some flavor, seasoning – something! As far as the Vegemite goes, if you can imagine wet salt paste, you’re close. Nuff said.
I’ve seen an MRE before but never tried it. And Vegemite… I don’t know if I could.
You’ll laugh at this, but the weirdest thing I ever tried was guacamole! After all, it was such a gross green color! It took a few weeks of convincing me to taste it, but when I finally did, I fell in love with it and guac and avacadoes are now one of my favorite foods.
Guacamole is really intimidating for a lot of people! Aren’t you glad you found it, though? Avocado is great on a bacon cheeseburger, too. That’s one of my favorite combinations, even though it’s terrible for you.
