my first beer. seriously.
Sam Adams Summer Ale. It is the first whole beer I ever drank in my entire life. In the oldest bar in the country. And it tasted like pee.

fruit
Does your face sweat when you eat fruit? Or is it just me? Because it always happens when I eat apples and then again the other day when I had some blueberries. What causes this phenomenon?

midnight mimosas
And also, the Chili Cheese Pringles are like Matt's Holy Grail. He tried one (just one single chip) last summer and called me at home to tell me how wonderful they were, and has not been able to find them since. He's persistent, though. He let out quite the squeal at the grocery store just now, as we proceeded to buy four cans of them.
c's get degrees
I just took my Cost & Managerial Accounting final. The test had a cover sheet that said "This test is 30% of your grade. There are 30 questions. Each is worth 1% of your final grade." After twenty minutes of uninterrupted panic, I somewhat pulled it together and hopefully managed to get a B in the class. Yesterday I had a test in Operations (Supply Chain) Management. I missed a B by one freaking question. I don't have much to work with for my grad school application.

"I'm going to Disney World!"

the wrongest story ever told
I just sat down in only available stall in a bathroom at Dayton International Airport where, after about three seconds of doing my business, I realized there was a conversation in progress between the inhabitants of the other three stalls.
It wasn't really a conversation about anything in particular. Actually it was more of a series of unrelated comments. One asked when another was getting into Denver. One quietly sang along with "On The Way Down" by Ryan Cabrera as it played over the loudspeaker. One farted and the other two laughed. And it turns out they were all attractive frat guys. I'd have to say it's one of my stranger life experiences.
free internet access
Dayton International Airport offers unlimited free internet at the terminals. Good for emergency blogging and whatnot.

We went to Dayton this weekend to see the WGI championships. Who doesn't love confetti and shiny things?

sunday fun
you can't stop the music
I live in an apartment complex inhabited primarily by students. It's old and cheap and people are inconsiderate. When my upstairs neighbors walk from one room to another, it registers on the seismograph in my living room. However, they don't help matters with their Saturday night / Sunday morning parties that go until 5am while the boyfriend and I are trying to sleep. We're good neighbors, though. We accept the fact that we live in student housing and put pillows over our heads while riding it out until dawn.
So around 10:30 this morning I was checking my email and trying to wake up, so I turned on a couple songs that I, um, purchased from a legal source last night. It wasn't loud, but I do have a subwoofer so I guess it shakes a little. All of the sudden the stomping began. Not the stampede I hear at 2am when one of them wakes up to go to the bathroom, but a harder jamming of the foot into their floor. I was expecting to see a heel come through my ceiling at any minute. So I turned it up. The stomping got louder. I turned it up again. Louder. Then it occurred to me that he was probably just tapping his foot to the music. Or at least that was going to be my reasoning if he knocked at my door and it all came down to Sunday morning fisticuffs.

crack addiction
This is what I saw when I stepped off the bus today. It was staring me down through the side door of the campus information kiosk hosted by Alpha Phi Omega. I had to sit on a bench outside the booth and pretend to read the school newspaper just so I could get a shot for the blog.
good news
I just saved you a bunch of time checking up on me by switching my photos to Blogger!

I am all registered for my last two semesters as an undergraduate at the University of Florida. "With what difficult and extremely challenging courses will you be struggling this summer and fall," you ask? Let's take a look:
summer
- REE 3043 - Real Estate Analysis
- BUL 4443 - Ethics in Business
- ALS 3203 - PC Use in Agriculture
fall
- ACG 5637 - Auditing 1
- ISM 3004 - Computing in the Business Environment
- PSY 4930 - Internet Addictions
I don't know that I would get very far in my accounting career without at least a little bit of knowledge about the use of PCs in agriculture. And hopefully for my sake, "Internet Addictions" involves some sort of twelve step program. Ironically enough, it is offered entirely over the web.
