Yeah, happy Labour Day, everyone. I'll just need to add that it's still bloody hot. Even at night.
The KI circle(or semi-circle) managed to meet up, whilst moaning about how they should be spending their free day studying for something. I was moaning about not having anything worthwhile to study. I mean seriously, how irrelevant can a chemistry project get...
This time, Elrond- I mean, Mark, managed to make it, as did Ms Chan. It was funny. I don't think I've ever had an outing with a teacher before. Not a school-organised outing, that is. She brought Taboo along for us to play.
Taboo is this excellent word game where each person is given a word which he is supposed to get people to guess, while avoiding the usage of five related "taboo" words. Which can get a little challenging because you end up having to use a lot of synonyms and saying "the opposite of
It really is fun. I wasn't too good at it though.
Aaaanyway, I had lunch at Carl's Jr today. It's pretty expensive, with a burger set going for about ten dollars. It's well worth the money though, since the servings are notably larger than those at other fast-food joints. The burgers are sort of squarish, and mine had real bacon in it. A medium fries is probably larger than a large from Mickey D's. Also, the fries had more real potato in them while still retaining that salty unhealthiness that I like in my fries. The best part, however, would probably be the free flow of drinks. Which, while making the upsizing of your beverage rather pointless, is not something that I'd bother to complain about.
So I drank a whole lot of coke today. More than I'd drunk in the past couple of weeks. This, however, had the effect of making me too full to fully enjoy the donuts we had purchased earlier. They were still good, but next time, we eat donuts on an empty stomach. I demand it.
I actually started this post with the intention of talking about May Day. However, it has no one definite origin. There are plenty of festivals that were celebrated on May 1st. It has Christian roots, Pagan roots... Something to do with the Soviet Union...
Yeah it just doesn't have a lot of things that I'm interested in.
So now, I'm packing for some camp. You see, this camp happens to be eating away at my weekend. And weekends happen to be very important to me.
On the bright side, however, they seem to be giving us a whole lot of "free and easy" time. That's what it looks like in the schedule, anyway. Which is a good thing. I could do the rest of the annoying tutorials that I have yet to complete.
Now either I really am tired, or I'm having writer's block again.
