More Day 2

After making it through class thanks to the power of various antihistamines, I now have time to write more about this project. I broke down and spent one dollar of my remaining money on some caffeine. I have no clue what this really means for buying other things except that I probably made a bad fiscal decision. Hopefully, I can make it for the rest of the week on my remaining two dollars because I really don't like asking strangers for help. I don't really know why, but I have this strong sense of self-reliance. When I got lost in Italy, I didn't really ask anybody for help, I just wandered around until I found a map or sign post to point me on my way. I only asked somebody for help when I had been walking in the rain for about an hour. I've always been self-reliant to a fault. Probably comes from trying to distinguish myself from my brother combined with my Finnish heritage. I also grew up in a house with two librarians and more or less grew up in a library, so I was encouraged to find things out for myself.
I attempted to walk to the store to buy things like soap and such, but I didn't make it that far before my chest started hurting. I walked back to my room and downed some of the juice I bought. I also enjoyed some of my crackers and peanut butter. I figured out that I can eat 16 crackers with peanut butter twice a day for lunch and dinner. I have my box of Life cereal for breakfast and snack. So far, the hardest part of this project is not being able to use electricity after sundown. I usually enjoy an episode of Stargate or some other show on DVD before going to bed, but I couldn't do that last night. It's not too big of a deal, it just makes me aware of how much the seemingly stupid little things matter so much when you aren't struggling to meet basic needs. I also missed "24" last night which was kind of disappointing as this is the first time I've been able to watch new episodes of "24" on Monday nights. Anyways, I'm kind of rambling in this blog right now to avoid doing homework and working on an assignment that was due today, so I guess that's it for now.
