Whyyyy doesn't the dinning hall open until 10 am this week whyyyy I'm hungrrrrryy whine whine whine bitch bitch bitch

Anyways, I've moved into my dorm and met my roommate! The dorm is fairly nice, though it has a few problems (we can't run the AC effectively, because the window sash is broken, and now that we've opened it, it won't close, and we need to get a maintenance person to fix it), but it's okay. My roommate is rather nice, too. Biggest problem right now is that all the buildings are still on their summer schedule, so places like the dinning hall aren't open at normal hours. That'll change on Monday, but I still think I should find a grocery store and get some food to keep in the dorm in case I wake up too early/too late (former is more likely) to get food.

Classes start on monday, and I've got most of my books, except for a few that weren't in stock yesterday, but are supposed to come in today. Already my books have cost about $400, and my scholarship that pays for them is more like a refund that I get in a few months. :/

Need to change my meal plan, but they won't allow anyone to do that until the 24th.

Now I need to find out where the grocery stores are, then go get breakfast, then go to the grocery store and get back-up food, and then get the rest of my books. And finish my summer reading.

everthing i learned i learned from tv

I managed to find a grocery store that's only about 3 minutes drive from school! :D It's a bit too far to walk, but that's okay, as I'll probably be getting cold things to keep in the fridge here. It's also really cheap! I managed to get a set of paper bowls, a quart of milk, a box of cereal, a box of plastic eating utensils, and some yogurt cups for just 10 bucks. That'll pretty much cover breakfast for a week. And since the bowls/spoons and stuff will last longer then that, when I need more food it shouldn't cost me more then about 5 bucks.

All I gotta say is: I'm so glad I watched the Rachael Ray show and learned how to make meals for under $10 and eat for a week on $5. Even if I can eat at the dinning hall without having to pay (meal plan's already paid for) and I'll not cooking. Though my dorm does have a full kitchen. I may have to make cookies some time. :3

I'm a bit frustrated about books (bookstore STILL doesn't have two that I need) and worried about money, but finding such a cheap grocery store and getting food for breakfast made me feel a lot better.

Tonight there's a meet-the-student-groups party thingy going on, so I'll go by there and take a look at some of the groups. I'm sort of thinking of doing a comic strip for the daily school paper, so I'm going to try to talk to some people from the paper. Should be fun.

This is my second post in one day, and both of them are about breakfast. Huh.
