This is a shortie

For the second time in the last 24 hours, my class was cancelled, but I did not find out until I got to the door and read a "class cancelled because of weather" sign. Therefore, I am now sitting outside of the library with basically nothing to do for another hour. It has been brought to my attention that my blog posts are really long, and after re-reading them I realize that they are, so I apologize. This ones a shortie. :)

I would go inside the library and find a book, but I have my Up&Go with me, so I don't think I can bring that in. Up&Go is this drink that i've discovered here, and it's basically chocolate Gatorade. It sounds gross but it tastes great. I have also discovered Tim Tams. They are delightful chocolate cookies with chocolate in between and covered in chocolate. I could not think of a better description. My kiwihost Kinga taught us how to eat Tim Tams by biting opposite corners of the cookie and using it as a straw to drink hot coffee. The coffee makes the cookie soft and melts the chocolate bar in the middle and you end up with a fudgie chocolate mound. Ingenious.

Yesterday was another baking experiment night. I've merged into my let's-just-bake-things-without-a-recipe phase. I made whole wheat pumpkin apple cake and it actually turned out rather successful. I have a picture, but I am in the library with my little PC so none of the pictures are actually with me. Enough about food though, I will describe to you what is happening around me.

A man with a broken thumb just left, while another man just announced that he was going to go get a hash brown. Basically, other than that it's just a lot of people walking around. The number of people in flip flops, shorts and t-shirt still surprise me. Also, Dunedin doesn't seem to salt when it snows, probably because it rarely ever snows. But I basically walked a mile on large patches of black ice to get to my cancelled class. While I was trying not fall, there were people on bikes and skate boards going to class. This is the most epic July ever.

Anyways, I am really excited for my first ceramics class tonight! I have not been on a wheel since Westover so I don't think excited even begins to describe how I feel right now. I'm even almost excited to walk across all that black ice in the dark. Anyways, off to class now.
