Servings, Cotton and Tomatoes

FINALLY!

THE LAST BLOODY DAY OF HIGH SCHOOL PE!

Shazam! :D While I was planning to ace the final completely, I apparently missed two of the 50 questions, leaving me with a 96%. Not entirely shabby, but less than I expected. One question I know I answered incorrectly [unintentionally of course], was something to the effect of "Which of the following is the correct serving size?" with the choices being something stupid like a. 2 slices of bread b. 8 oz of milk c. 7 oz of protein d. 1 large apple. Knowing my natural aversion towards milk, I had a difficult time deciding between B and D. I picked D, because to me it sounded better, and it was ten thousand times less disgusting. In retrospective, I realize that the milk propogandists really are trying to ruin my life, and the answer was B, because a medium fruit is supposedly a serving. SO DUMB!!! As for the other question I missed, I truly have no recollection, though I'm not entirely surprised, because the test took all of about seven minutes to complete; roughly 13 when double checked.

Because I didn't have a fourth hour final [huzzah!!!], I pretty much got out of school at 10:00 a.m. I was pretty stoked, as every kid is. The weather was back to beautiful, I had a nearly empty day ahead of me, and a lawn waiting to be mowed. For this reason, when I arrived home I promptly changed into my Richard Simmons shorts, slapped on some sunblock to arms and face, and headed out. Life was grand until I hit the south portion of my back yard [chronologically last in my routine], where the cotton wood trees decided to dump ten septillion cotton pods on the ground. This wouldn't be a problem were it not that my lawn mower mulches everything, and cotton tends to be spat back out. By the end of my lawn, I looked like a gigantic fuzzy marshmallow. I can't say that it was the prettiest sight, but there was definitely an element of humor, once I cleared the fibrous mess out of my lungs and could laugh.

Ever since a few weeks ago when my mom made one of the most amazing cold noodle salads ever, I've been craving feta non-stop. Not only feta, but most Greek foods, including but not limited to olives, gyros, brined cucumbers, ect. Today, I decided to recreate the salad, with different proportions, being more vegetables and feta, with less noodles. In the process however, I discovered that I was out of tomatoes. Normally, I would completely rejoice. However, seeing as I needed them to recreate the jazz, I waited until my mom got home, and then dragged her to the store to help me pick out tomatoes. Yes. I'm awful at picking produce out, most of the time. My worst subject is tomatoes, because I don't like them, so I'm not sure what they're supposed to look and feel like. Anywho, the rest I've become more skilled at, so no worries. No rotten onions for me! :D

The point being, I just finished the creation of beauty, and it was truly amazing. Made of fresh cucumbers, tomatoes, red and green bell peppers, black olives, small conch noodles and fetta with a dressing of oil and vinegar, it was fabulous. Feel free to try it, because it's definitely amazing. [:

Seeing as I'm enamored again, I suppose I should be off to party, so I can sleep in during the 5th hour final tomorrow. Cheers! :D
