Crazy Week

Thank goodness for the holiday on Tuesday!!! Since they couldn't hold some of the discussion sections for my larger classes but not others, I had classes cancelled on Monday and Wednesday too.




Monday was our bonfire for RSS, down at Dockweiller beach in Marina del Rey. I was driving, so naturally I got lost and ended up at LAX and made it into a fiasco. I eventually got all of my passengers to and from school safely, but not for lack of trying. We did the traditional hot dog roast and s'mores, and a few ridiculous games. We played Golden Cow, which is more of a prank than a game; you tell one person they're the golden cow, and someone is trying to guess who the golden cow is. You say their job is to moo louder than everyone else, and if the person guesses wrong 3 times, he and the golden cow are "out". Everyone else plays along for the first two times and moos as loud as possible, and the third, the "golden cow" moos at the top of his lungs while everyone else is silent... then immediately falls to the ground in embarrassment. We're a mature bunch.





The rest of the week has been spent working or studying for my genetics midterm today. It went..... well, let's not go there. We were studying the inheritance of colored hominy, which is more than I ever care to know about it.

On a positive note, I've basically found the coolest gift idea EVER for little boys. I need to look into it a bit more.... But right now I'm pretty sure I'll be the favorite aunt.

This weekend will probably be pretty boring... My friend is hopefully picking up some goodies for me from an Asian market nearby, since they still carry.....drumroll please..... CHICKEN SESAME RAMEN!!!! That's right. I almost cried with joy when I saw that sesame oil packet.

Other high point of my day: coworker bringing in some caramel apple suckers. Mmm... tastes like All the Best Video!! It's just a food blast from the past!

You don't have to go to a specialty store to buy Chicken Sesame Ramen. You just need to buy a bottle of Sesame Oil from any grocery store (in the asian aisle)and add it to regular chicken ramen. If there are sesame seeds in the seasoning packet, you can buy those separately as well. Speaking of great finds...I actually found some Pepper Pot at a grocery store down the street. You should have heard me scream out loud, "Oh, my God!!", when I saw it sitting on the shelf.
