Ben came over to my house to play. I made my Fabulous Lemon Chicken, and he made rice. We ate the rice straight out of the pot. With chopsticks. While waiting for the chicken to cook, we made homemade peanut butter cups. They were delicious, and surprisingly tasted exactly like Reese's... After lunch, we secretly stole all the chairs out of the dining room and proceeded to build a massive blanket fort in the basement. After our fort was established, we watched Ben's Veggietales Esther movie and played with his button maker. I started his friendship bracelet. (Black and gold, of course.)Then we popped in Hercules. I sang all the songs and quoted all the lines. Stupid, stupid thing to do when your throat is sore to begin with. I now sound like a pubescent boy. :( Homework in progress, but coming slowly. I may end up pulling an all-nighter. Who knows?

I'm not going home for Reading Week this year. I'm kinda sad, because I was really looking forward to seeing the FamJam at the Homeland, especially since I won't have a chance to get back until probably June. I could get there no problem, but finding a way back here was proving to be just about impossible. So I am stuck here for a whole week. It wouldn't be so terribly bad, except that basically all my friends and roommates are either:

a) going home

b) going somewhere awesome on vacation, or

c) talking non-stop about how stoked they are to go home/go on vacation/see friends

Ah well. C'est la vie right? In any case, I know I HAVE to do something with myself over the next week or I will die of boredom. For real. Each day next week, I will attempt to do one awesome thing and post about it. Hopefully, this will make the break suck less. I even already have some schemes cooked up in my devious noggin. Wish me luck!
