Things you learn in college #54: Tofu is not a functional adhesive.

Posted At: 12:06pm by Rachel Engebretson

So.

I'm here.

It's an exciting time, and I've met AMAZING people. Classes aren't too hard as long as I'm conscious, and the food isn't too bad as long as I try not to think about it.

I started my journey meeting lots of overexcited people. "Yay," I thought to myself. "They must sell energy cheap here." Unfortunately, I quickly learned that college is not the Middle East. I have, however, decided that Nutter Butters are manna from heaven.

Highspeed internet rocks my world. So does disproving Buddhism at 2 in the morning.

I miss my cats like crazy. They don't hold a conversation on the phone very well. They hear voices and freak out. If I was schizophrenic, I might too.

I don't miss my job like crazy. I miss taste-testing the prescriptions with coworkers, but not having to be vomited on.

College makes me feel both smart and stupid. I'm all smart because I went to college, right? How come I can't read the little label in the cafeteria that says, "Vegetarian" and go nuts on a stir fry with chicken having the consistency of cottage cheese? What else do you do with tofu, build bridges with it? This may be our problem.

I've already changed my major. I know, surprise! Don't be scared, though. I'm never going to change my mind about being a veterinarian. I did, however, realize that biology is a better suited major than animal science. Take note, students. Sheep Production 101 doesn't help.

And with that, I sit down to not procrastinate anymore and write my lab report for chemistry. A more serious post may be in the future, if I'm not figuring out new ways to utilize the synthetic you may know as tofu.

Did you say Chemistry lab reports? You prick my conscience. I should be doing that right now instead of reading this blog. Labs are part of college I'm not crazy about.

Our food has been interesting too. Some days it's really good. On the days it's not, there's always the sandwich corner. :P Aaron has the college with good food.

Glad to hear you are learning all about college. Probably more than you expected, eh?

Sounds like you've discovered mystery meals in the cafeteria too Blogger Smiley

I don't think I ever figured our what was in "Mexican Lasagna," other than it sounds like an oxymoron to me.

Does your school have a zoology major? Biology is cool too. My major was medical technology, which combined the best of biology and chemistry. It allows one to skip over the plant and ecology courses, as well as most of the organic chemistry courses (although I had to take one). Perhaps if you don't discover it sooner, later in a analytical chemistry course you will know what tofu is comprised of! Blogger Smiley
