Closing Time

I don't have to go home but I can't stay here.

So, I've been looking forward to this day for a very long time.  Mostly because I really wanted to use the lyrics by Semisonic as a blog title, but also I am just super ready to be done.

Good news!  I am done!

After graduation this weekend, I'll go home for a week or so, and then up to Alaska.

I'll stay for sure through the end of the season, and depending on how the company does, I will be hired on salary year round.

At least I have a plan I guess.

Also, I guess i sort of suck at that whole 'goodbye' thing.  I really have to build myself up to it if I'm going to be emotional at all.  Usually my farewells are sort of a "I'm never going to see you again, but its been fun.  Here's a hug-You've been great.  And if you never hear from me, don't worry too much--I don't stay in touch with anyone really.  Also don't be offended that I'm not crying.  I only do that in movies."

I suppose I'm just one of those people, that when something ends, it's over, life is different, I adapt, and then it's like life has always been that way.  I don't get reminiscent very often.  And only rarely nostalgic.

So let this be the message to all:  you've been great, really, and don't be offended if I'm the worst goodbye-r on the planet.  And remember, we'll always have Provo.

Laters.

It's grass-tastic!

Or so says the packaging on a bag of questionable candy my roommate received.

Edible Easter grass.  made in Germany... where else.  The interesting thing about it is, that edible is the best word to describe it.  It isn't delicious, or sugary, or even terrible.  It's just sort of meh...edible.  But I guess:

Edible Easter Grass

meh... it's edible 

just isn't as catchy as:

Edible Easter Grass

It's Grass-tastic!

So you eat one, and it tastes sort of like foam.  Sort of really like foam.  But it has just enough hint of green apple that you feel like you're eating something.  And so you have another.

Good news--the entire massive package is only 100 calories.  It has no fat, no sugar, no cholesterol, or anything else really... except for <1g of fiber.  Begging the question, what the heck is even in these things?

Glad you asked.

Ingredients: potato starch, corn starch, modified corn starch, and artificial flavors.

Artificial?!  Gasp.  Could've fooled me.
