Due to a lack in funding I have recently been eating in the commons more frequently. It's tragic, I know; however, a college student must survive somehow.
Monday morning after a long night of catching up on work (possibly from procrastinating) I woke up with a strange man making noises in my stomach. I thought it was pertinent to abate this crazy man in my stomach with some sort of sustenance. I went to the commons to grab some breakfast, but I only had ten minutes before my first class so I did not have time to order anything off the grill. This was a mistake.
I took some of the morning potatoes, not bad, and some of the scrambled eggs from the serve yourself portion of the commons. When I took the first bite of eggs I nearly spit it right back out. Eggs are a delicate food item, and the commons managed to destroy them in every way possible. They were completely dried out, cold, and stale. DISGUSTING!!! Yes, that's all I have to say for my recent food experiences.

Homesick...for simple good food!
Last Week:
It was a rough week. Illness overtook my body, and unfortunately when I'm sick that usually means I can't eat either.
Its the worst feeling, being sick and not being at home with your mom or dad. Whenever I get ill in college I miss home the most; Mom hovering over me with a glass of water and a thermometer. When I was able to eat I always had soup, tea, maybe even a grilled cheese!
This last week I had no mommy to take care of me. I attempted to rely on some friends...not the same. I craved the simple goodness of hot tea made for me. And, when I was finally able to eat something I wanted grilled cheese the way my mom makes it. Alas, there was no soup or grilled cheese, just a steady diet of water and tea.
Just a thought; does it seem like when you get sick at college it takes longer to recover than when you get sick at home? I think this happens because there is an absence of help and care from the familiar.
