So I woke up today around 11:30. The plan was to go to campus and hand in my paper, ask about travelcards at the post office, get lunch, and go grocery shopping. After checking my email, the plan became hand in the paper, ask about travel cards, pick up a package!!!!!!!, get lunch, and go grocery shopping.
So I got to campus at exactly the wrong time when everywhere but the post office was closed for lunch. So I went to the post office and the only questions they answered were that no, they didn't sell travelcards there so no, they couldn't help me. So I got lunch and went back to the room and messed around online until 1:30 when everyone would come back from lunch. Found out that the prompts for the Modernity essay are STILL not posted so basically I'm just wasting these two free days. Anyway, back to campus.
Picked up the package at the post office which was rather larger than I had been expecitng : ) I took it upstairs to turn in my essay and then went back to the tower to see what in the world was making the thing so heavy. Turns out the sheer weight of awesomeness was what did it. Kai and Steph were good enough to include a list of contents so I know I won't leave anything out. First off, they included some colored pictures, as well as a chibi adventure, which have brightened up my room considerably. I was just recently bemoaning my lack of posters to relieve the prison cell atmosphere. They also included two coloring books and a big box of crayons, so guess what I'll be doing until they post those essays!!
Food items included the largest bag of jellybellys I have ever seen with lots of cherry : ) yummm. Also, a box of koala yummies which are hard to find even in the states and certainly don't exist here, a box of pocky because it's awesome, laffy taffy, jolly ranchers, reese cups, gum, and starbursts. Either I'm coming home fat or with extra candy : P More likely the former. Oh, also Peeps to get me in the easter mood!! Non-candy food was Ramen, which they do not have out here - they have similar products but let's face it, Ramen is Ramen. They sent chopsticks with the Ramen so the two Asian exchange students in the flat can make fun of me : P Also, instant microwave rice, fruit roll ups, and cherry tea. The tea is my favorite brand that I only just discovered here - a brand called Twinings. Kai says you can only find it in Disney World in the states. Phoo. Can't wait to try the cherry though. Oh, and they included hot chocolate too, which is good becuase the stuff i took pictures of wasn't so great. Oh, and most thrillingly, they also included a can of campbells soup. I can't wait to eat that. The soup here is just not as good.
In miscellany, one pirate duck and one dinosaur which, as reccomended, became a ninja. I made it a mask to commemorate the occasion. The pirate duck's name is Arrrrgo and the ninja dinosaur's name is was going to be Davey but then I remembered that he's a ninja... oh what to do... so I named it Javey : ) I made Arrrrgo a ship since I made Javey a mask, and now I have a lovely pirate-ninja war going on in my room : )
Unsuspecting pirate duck.....
....suspects nothing...
Death from above!
Arrrrgo is ignorant of his plight!
Yeah... I didn't go grocery shopping today : P With all that food I probably won't need to until I get back from break! And anyway, it started snow/raining and got cold so I stayed inside and gave my room a good cleaning. Then I colored a picture from the Disney Princess coloring book! Yay!
Ok, it's not my fault they drew Ariel looking slightly hungry. Why yes, the caption DOES say "nom nom nom". And yes, those ARE fangs. : )
Let's see... in other news... i want another cornish pasty. The end.
