End of week 1 (at least at school)

Temperature of the day: 
27 °C 
(just putting it out there)

Had the first test today. Which went well =) Scored 24/25, but after a small complaint I got 25/25. ^^ Seems they had given me 'wrong' on one answer even though I answered right, but I restored balance in the universe again by pointing it out. So you don't have to look out for black holes just yet.

After school a bunch of us went to Texas Roadhouse to eat dinner. It is, after all, Friday. So it's allowed to go out for dinner. Even though we've been eating out almost every day. Excellent food ^^ The meat is... mouth-watering. But I need you twin sister! I need you to be here and tell me that I'm an idiot and to stop me from buying a big-ass brownie for dessert even though I'm full. Seemed like a good idea at the time, not so much now. Ugh...


If there's one thing I've learned since coming here, it's that Americans love their cheese. On everything. EVERYTHING. And if you don't want cheese, that's a shocker.


Cut to scene:


Me, at Subway, ordering a sandwich.

Me:            I'll have the BLT, please.
Clerk:         BLT coming up. Do you want cheese on that?
Me:            No thanks.
Clerk:         No? No cheese?
Me:            Uh... No.
Clerk:         ....Okay....

Dude! She seemed so surprised, I was surprised.


But since I'm in the US, I've figured that I want to try out some of the national dishes. First up was peanut-butter-jelly sandwich. To tell you the truth, it was better with jelly than without. Without it, the taste was dry as he**. But I don't think I'll be eating much of that peanut-butter. It consists of 25% fat O.o
But not until I've tried the peanut-butter-marshmallow sandwich.
Another national food item on my list is the corn dog. I've always wondered how they taste, since they look pretty tasty on film. There's a gas station right next to the school, but every time I'm in there, they're out of corn dogs. Apparently, the store clerks have a tendency to eat them up.

Now, excuse me, but I have to lie down on the couch and  groan at the feeling my full stomach gives me...
