thanksgiving break

Okayyy so I don't know if anyone else is in the same boat as me, but I haven't been home in a month and I'm so eager to get back for some reason. Sure all this seclusion and no parental supervision has been a blast, but there is that part of me that misses home sweet home and all my broskis back in Debary. Over summer B it was different because I went home basically every weekend and once fall started I found myself so occupied that I didn't really have time to go home. Not to mention everytime I did go home I basically had like 36 hours to get around to all my family and friends. This thanksgiving break should be a nice relief of stress because I'll have 4 days to plan my time out evenly with all my friends and family making sure I get to see everyone's faces that I've been missing this past semester. On top of having these 4 days off, one of them is going to be the greatest feast of the year! I love eating a plethora of turkey and other thanksgiving assorted foods then relaxing and sleeping and doing it all again. I think this thanksgiving is going to be an extra special one because it's going to be one that requires me to come home. So me going back to home cooking and pampering by the mother is going to be a nice change for the next couple days. Compared to me eating dining hall foods and doing my own damn laundry in these ghetto ass laundry rooms. I just hope everyone has a safe thanksgiving and make it memorable because this is our first freshman thanksgiving break!

facebook

Facebook is such a crazy phenomenom because it is inhibited nearly all of america's lives. Everyone I meet or already know has a facebook. When I went to Switzerland 2 summers ago just about the same outcome. A lot of my family members had facebook and would stay up to date with it. It is interesting to see how such a simple idea that came about from some teenagers has been so useful and addicting. I can say that every day I check my facebook and even if I don't have any notifications I still find myself somehow wasting time on facebook when there are 23464 more productive things that I can be doing. Facebook has become the new myspace but has exceed myspace in popularity and usage. Also cool thing about facebook is how people can create ads, groups, or even games that help unite people or just waste time. Facebook does definitely play a huge part in my procrastination of homework during my college life so far and it will surely continue until the next era of cyber communicating pops up. Until then I plan on playing my farmville or chatting it up with my peeps. Oh and crazyyy story I heard on the radio a couple weeks ago was about this mother in Floirda killing her few month old baby because it was crying while she was trying to play her famville! I was so astonished when I heard this, like what the hell are people coming to these days.

Dining Halls

So basically everyone should know how it feels to have a meal plan. A majority of us are freshman and were forced to pay for two or three semesters of dining hall services on campus. Adding to that, we were also forced to live on campus for a year unless we lived in a certain county. Focusing on dining services, they cost $1800 a semester. That is a shit load of money to eat for 1 whole year basically. Because I came for summer B I payed an extra 1800 basically.I think the main reason why I want to blog about dining halls is because they are starting to disappoint me. Over summer B i was pretty satisfied with what they were feeding us; although they did have their bad days sometimes, it was over all good. Since fall semester has started I feel like the quality of the food, the service, and availability has been slacking. For example, over summer I ate a lot of sandwiches and didn't mind the meat, but now I barely eat the sandwiches because the turkey breast tastes phoney as hell. And certain meats just scare me. As for service I feel like there are some scarier people working there than ever before or they are really slow at serving which gets to me because I can be very impatient at times. As for availability, lines have been getting longer and longer and I always see empty plates. And for a growing man it is necesary for me to get my food in. I feel like they are under staffed really. Especially in the back because whenever I got to put my plates away, 8 times out of 10 there is a huge pile of dishes not moving. I just can't wait to move off campus and worry about cooking my own food and not relying on some cheap nasty taste food.
