eli whitney

this morning, as i was sitting in the second of my two morning sections, my TA had us introduce ourselves and tell her what our favorite books are. the introductions were going just fine until someone said the best thing i have ever heard:

"my favorite book is 'night' by eli whitney."

for all of you who don't know, "night" is about a man's experiences in a concentration camp, and how those experiences changed his life. that being said, unfortunately, eli whitney invented the cotton gin, and missed the holocaust by about 150 years. i'm going to assume she meant "elie wiesel."

i'm super hungry right now, but i'm not allowing myself to eat anything until i get baja, whenever that may be. i'm going to get a burrito, cut it in half and have food for two days. that sounds foul, but i'm in college, and thereby allowed to be this way. i'll stop trying to maximize my three dollar baja burritos when i have the time, energy, and money to make myself three course meals all the time. speaking of meals, i need to start eating more of them and stop grazing all damn day, because then i'm constantly eating and am never full and i start to feel like i do right now, which is out of control.
