Thanks for the kisses

This blog post is a thank you note to my intro business professor's wife who read a study that said that students test better when they eat chocolate during a test, so she bought him a bag of Hershey's Kisses to give to us to eat during our test today.

I don't know if I did better on my test because of it, but it did make my day. So thank you, my business professor's wife for the chocolate. You are awesome.

Now if only I could eat chocolate during my chem tests...

Boo!

My Halloween plans went from nothing-to dressing up as a princess and passing out candy- to trick-or-treating with my friend- to going to a football at my high school and hanging out with a band friend. The last three of those things I did.

My figure will be paying for the extra calories, and I was freezing all night after the game, but it was all definitely worth it.

PS. No one is too old for free candy. 

Contradiction season

I just realized that my blogging name is Rodent Girl, yet for my profile pic I have a picture of frogs. It just doesn't make sense. Then I realized it was good timing because of the recent starburst commercials with their contradictions- Scottish Korean, solid yet juicy starbursts, albino lifeguard. "One contradiction eating another!" If you don't know what I'm talking about- you don't watch enough TV.

Sweet dream (no pun intended)

Last night, I had a dream where I was in some sort of contest/game and we had to find things and put it in a little baggie. The first thing I had to find was in some sort of weird cave thing, but I eventually found it and put it in my bag- it was a chocolate chip cookie bar. The second thing was harder to get. It was in the library, but the only way to get it was to go through a maze and then when you reached the end you had to use your mind power to get it out from a small silver dome on the ceiling. I got through the maze pretty quickly, and my mind power was so good, the thing- a big blue cube of Starburst, was already on the chair as I walked to the dome. I was so proud of myself, but as I was leaving the library, my sister walked by and I saw in her baggie she had the cookie bar, the Starburst, and a Hershey bar. I was upset that I didn't know about the Hershey bar. Then I realized I had a similar dream previously where I did have the Hershey bar.

I think these things I was getting were for God (who knew He has such a sweet tooth?). I don't know why I couldn't get the Hershey bar. It made me think of offerings to God and of Cain and Abel (I promise I'm not going to kill my sister). Then I thought my friend Rinny would say that I've been reading too much East of Eden.

Tootsie roll vs gum

Boy: Mr. Owl, how many licks does it take to get to the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop?
Mr. Owl: A good question. Let's find out. A One... A.two-HOO...A three..
(crunch sound effect)
Mr. Owl: Three

In my psych class we did how many licks does it take to get to the center of a blow-pop. It was one of my childhood dreams (actually I would have preferred the tootsie pop). It was so hard though. It hurt my mouth to keep it open and to keep on licking. It took me 624 licks. Everyone was saying that they didn't like blow-pops anymore after that.
