A weekend (+ Monday)’s worth of bad decisions

After Saturday’s College and Career Fair, my friends and I found a field (??) with free lemonade.
It was really good, until it got too sweet near the end (read: after the first three sips). I drank the
whole thing anyway (I definitely regretted it afterwards).

During extended boundaries on Sunday, we got matching bracelets!! I thought this couldn’t
possibly be a bad decision, but the red coating on mine is already rubbing off onto my wrist.
Oops?? (There’s not a lot of options in West Lafayette.)
Then Pragathi and I practiced our talent show act (for the first time in a month). I think we
practiced too hard, because I woke up the next morning and I couldn’t move my neck or my
back ￿


“You 100% sprained your neck,” Pragathi said. “I sprained my neck at gymnastics once, and
that’s how I felt.” Now she’s trying to diagnose me with a pinched nerve (apparently I tested
positive).
I was very adventurous at Au Bon Pain today (a berry pomegranate smoothie instead of an iced
Americano)! I got the same sandwich I’ve gotten for the past three weeks. I should’ve just gotten
the Americano.

You can’t see the smoothie in this picture. That’s because I used it to prop up my phone. It was
a better investment than drinking it.


Today was also the last day of wet lab. I didn’t take any pictures of wet lab. So here’s a picture
of our contaminated samples from weeks ago!
I hope I’ll think a little more critically during my last week at SSP, but knowing me, the chances
are pretty low…
