Giving myself a month and so far

A month has passed.

One of my history classes announced that the midterm is going to be on next Monday. America has exams in different ways and I am a bit bewildered. Apparently, I am supposed to buy something called exam booklet in blue/green color and bring it to classroom. I didn’t know what it looks like and had difficult time finding it in the bookstore. The shop assistant asked me if it is small or big I want. Hmmm big? Well, got it ready now :D

The professor assigned a 400 page book for the midterm and I gotta finish it in a week. It is so intense, but supposedly those who are history major here are pretty used to the way things are in class. Historians are good readers. A piece of 8×5 index card will be available during the exam, but I am still figuring out how it would help me answer a couple of essay questions for the 400 page long content. It’s totally new and challenging to me.

Whether to buy meals or cook.

I love SUBWAY sandwiches. I can build a sandwich on my own with fresh veggies, cheese and meat. It’s on campus, so I go there and get a sandwich for breakfast, lunch and dinner almost everyday. So obsessed with it. I was literally what I eat. Gradually coming to an realization that there can be more ways my mouth can devour food, I decided to go for grocery shopping and cook on my own. I mean, Subway is still good. But I can make it on my own much cheaper :P Just need to get my lazy ass up.

That was wrong. Trader Joe’s, the nearest grocery around where I live, only sold this organic bacon. What’s good about organic bacon?? It doesn’t get crunchy because oils are completely off. It tasted horrible despite the price I paid. I threw away the rest that my mouth rejected.

It was just a bad experience haha. I still choose to go to Trader Joe’s but not for the bacon. Organic bacon is horrible.

Alright, I got the book to read. Fun stuff comes after shit. Bye bye til my next post!
