GrapeBiscuits

This morning my fencing friend/hallmate randomly entered my room and handed me GrapeBiscuits. I figured they were just your ordinary salted crackers with grapes somehow incorporated into the mix. Wrong!

First, they weren't salted crackers, they were sugared crackers.
Second, the crackers unexpectedly contained grape filling.
Third, they weren't grapes so much as almost-raisins, like raisins but squisher and less raisin-flavored.

As I was looking over the wrapper a few moments ago (of course I didn't throw it away!) I flipped to the Nutrition Facts and saw Calories: 488 kcal. WHAT?! No way three small crackers contained that much sugar.

Then I saw (Per serving 100gram). The package contained 16gm. Phew...

I know the crackers look bizarre, but they were REALLY good. I'll have to sift through the Park 'N' Shop for them. Or maybe not...it probably wouldn't be healthy to replace all my meals with packages of grape biscuits...

Then I researched the Great Depression for a bit (in relation to our financial economics presentation). And India (in relation to Australian trade). I seem to recall that I was multitasking ...probably deleting e-mails.

After lunch my day of endless classes began...

However, a text messsage about pizza greatly cheered me up. So after classes I met up with some friends and we ordered from Pizza Hut Delivery. No one else wanted peaches on the pizza, but the pepper seafood turned out to be almost exotic enough for my taste. It had black pepper sauce instead of tomato, and the toppings included shrimp, octopi, and other chopped up bits that I couldn't recognize. Plus bell peppers. Also I was handed a cream soda that I thought was ginger ale because I'm not used to Schweppes making anything else. Do all their products come in green containers? Once I recovered from the shock of expecting the wrong flavor, I enjoyed it, but it didn't taste at all like the cream soda I'm used it. Probably because it contained sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup. I only wish the soda'd been a little less green. Yes, it was made green on purpose: "Colour (E102)" to be exact.

Then we just hung out in the room for a few hours. Watched the changing score of a Korean baseball game. Looked through the votes from International Day. Noticed a write-in for Ron Paul and one for Mickey Mouse. Listened to guitar music. Grumbled about the OMIP. Obtained further confirmation that I'm less American than the Koreans. Reminisced about Oregon Trail (maybe I partially redeemed myself?) Etc. etc.

Then I returned and distracted myself by sorting through more e-mails and completing other tasks that could have waited until tomorrow morning. Actually, it's been tomorrow for almost two hours. Oh dear.
