Day 214: The Beauty of Dessert

August 2nd, 2011In what some might deem to be a misuse of my money, I have decided to avoid eating out in an effort to save money. Subsequently tonight, I went to get dessert with a friend, costing only $2, and avoiding any hefty fees that would be attached to eating out. In the morning though, I went straight to EH&S, and worked my butt off delivering stickers to various labs in the School of Medicine. In between I would go to Biomed Library (which is surprisingly still open!), and hang out there. I would play Tetris and watch Degrassi while watching for my next appropriate “sticker delivery appointment”. Afterwards, I bused straight home to Von’s, where I bought some overpriced rotissery chicken and Sunny D (on sale). I’m trying to make it so that on average I only spend $5 a day on food. In doing so, I’m already at $15 spent over the last two days, but I think that’s okay as long as I don’t spend anything tomorrow. The rotissery chicken is delicious, and the value of putting it in my fridge allows me to devour it again tomorrow at the cost of NOTHING. Cheers for that! I still have in my fridge and drawers to eat for free: cereal, eggs, rice, milk, hot pockets, frozen pizza, hot dogs, noodles, soup, among a vast assortment of other things. I stayed at home for many hours, falling asleep and at the same time watching various episodes of Degrassi and Breaking Bad: two very different shows, but very entertaining in both tone and nature. I’m excited to catch up on Breaking Bad to the present day episodes, so I can watch live on TV the day ins and day outs of Walter White. Afterwards, Tran Tran picked me up and we went to get “dessert”. This helped save me roughly 8-15 dollars depending on what type of meal I would have otherwise gotten with her. We talked in the Ralph’s shopping complex while eating some delicious golden spoon. I realized if I stayed in Ralph’s long enough I would see too many people I knew…. sadly enough. I didn’t even bother to scream out their names tonight though. Afterwards, I got dropped off back at my place and spent the rest of the night relaxing.
