The Final Jab

just when i thought i was hfs-issue free for …forever….

the “evil one” has brought upon us, terry-lander residents, another kind of crisis.  there is practically no food or snacks… and no bottled/canned coffee at the so-called “2-convenient.”  a resident shopper at the store was very discontent with the selections… or lack there of…. and i quote,

“there are no more doubleshots??? …..2-convenient is so 2-NOT-convenient…”

a store running out of coffee and snacks, especially during finals week, is NOT a good sign.  the cries of “what am i going to eat??” has been left unanswered, as some students were desparately searching for food that would meet their dietary needs.

however, i personally had been rather calm about this…despite the shortage of cereal choices (only a few boxes of rice krispies left), most of the fridges are almost empty, and the racks are sweeped clean.  i have learned to survived and snagged an extra package of soymilk to put in my fridge and a box of the rice krispies in case i need a meal or two.  hopefully this predicament is just happenning in the south campus area.  otherwise i can forsee the desparate cry from the residents for their food account to be used for the next few days (since money cannot be refunded). 

or perhaps… this is a strategy for hfs to secretly gain more money from the students….

hmmmm.

diet: dorm style

you have to pay more to eat healthy.  those who can’t afford to… then they are screwed.  this really disturb me.  it is the same way in the society as a whole as it is in the college campus.  everything is motivated by cost and profit.

a salad i eat at terry is like 7 – 8 bucks.  16 bucks a day, $112 a week, 336 a month, 1108 a quarter… which is not feasible in a minimum plan AT ALL.  i’ll be out of money half way through the quarter.  if i eat their gross sushi… (assuming that i would not get sick of it throughout the quarter)…5 bucks … 10 bucks a day, 70 a week, 210 a month, 630 a quarter.  still it doesn’t work.  i wish we can get our own portion of food and pay according to it.  salad bar has always been the only thing that you can get your own portion for.  … and may be soup i guess.  every time i eat at 1101 i always end up finishing the food just because i didn’t want to waste food.  “it’s just that tiny little bit… just finish it.”  i don’t save food from 1101, because that is just nasty.  this past year the amount of food that they give out has significantly decreased, but the prices have not.  (surprise, surpise… not) but it is still a bit too much for me.  i think they should go by servings, and price by servings.  if students order by servings then less food will be wasted, and less people going towards obsesity.  i mean, it’s not like they don’t dump a whole bucket of oil into our food anyway.

may be i should get a supply of cucumbers from costco and just stick them in my fridge.  and pray that my roommate this year is asian enough to have a rice cooker with her.  =p  then i can just make food…. and be a [part time] vegetarian…………………..
