I recently decided it was time to do something about this beard-esque growth on my face. After 2+ months of my laissez-faire attitude, it was time to reclaim my face.
I readily admit that it wasn’t a particularly full or manly beard, but I do miss it none the less.
When I’m here in Flintvilleshire, myself and the 5 gents I live with buy groceries together and try to eat large meals together whenever possible to save $. I offered to handle the task of being the accountant, so I divide up the $ from each receipt and keep track of who owes who what by the end of the term. I actually don’t mind it, for some odd reason I really enjoy using spreadsheets. It may be the process of taking a blank page and turning it into something with a productive and efficient output…either way, I’m a geek.
After running the numbers for the past 3 months today I came up with a rough approximation of how much, per person, we spend on food each day. This number is a little rough seeing as how it doesn’t account for eating out (we pay seperately then) or the non-food items we purchase. Regardless, I was pleasently suprised with how low the number was: $2.38 a day.
I’ll be the first to admit that we don’t eat the healthiest, but we do a decent job (besides, isn’t that what multi-vitamins are for?). The best part of all of this:
We didn’t have ramen once this term!
In 2 days:
I will be in Chicago, watching my absolute favorite band.
In 3 days:
I will be cramming for exams.
In 4 days:
I will still be cramming for exams.
In 6 days:
I will be be back home in Grand Rapids!
Sometimes my mind gets stuck thinking about things.
Sometimes those things are people.
Often times those people are quite cool.
No complaints I suppose.
