My Japanese oral exam is tomorrow. For my vacation I went to the Sky Castle and met Jeff Bridges. Every morning we would eat a lot of meat and go to the top of a mountain and sing. It was very fun. My partner held a party in his pants and everybody came, so now his house is not clean. It's going to be an interesting test.
So I'm officially paying for my own food in full now. Clinton and I have decided that we're not really cooking group meals, because whenever he cooks I'm never around, and whenever I cook (rare as it is), he's never around and never eats what I cook. It's a little sad that we've failed in this capacity, but it would be foolish to ignore the problem and keep going as is. Really it's going to be a relief that I won't have to worry about shopping for what he likes, and he won't have to deal with my preference for more expensive foods.
I've recently had to admit that I'm not a good cook. Tuesday I cooked some yellow chicken curry with pineapple. I managed to make something delicious, and completely over-spice it in the last ten minutes like an idiot. That said, it's still really tasty. The curry, however, is not the problem. The rice is the problem. I cannot cook rice. for whatever reason, it either burns, or gets undercooked, or overcooked, or a bizarre combination of all three. The curry is pretty good, but the rice is so bad that it makes the curry taste worse. Sadly I hate to waste food, so I'm going to munch on it until it's gone (hopefully before I leave for home). OH! It's also currently being stored in a Redvines container because all our tupperware has disappeared (most likely into Clinton's room, or Cara's apartment).
EWB is... interesting. I've experienced how a group like this should be run thanks to Skunkworks, and this is significantly different. It's like being back on the Chief Sealth team. Everything is lackluster and lethargic. Even contributing personal effort yields sub-par results, as it is difficult to get an equally enthusiastic input. I feel that Skunkworks could have done in a week what these folks did in a semester. THAT SAID, I wonder if I would be able to change anything even given a position of power. I had the opportunity earlier this week when we held elections for the various club offices, and I decided not to run for any of them. I'm currently, unofficially in charge of the HPPV, and things really aren't very much better. I don't think I can really critique these clubs for being less professional than Skunkworks, because a) Skunkworks is kinda amazing and that'd be unfair to these clubs, and b) in college I'm finding it surprisingly difficult to contribute as much as I did in high school.
