I haven't been able to update all of you on what has been happening to me For the First Time in my life during the last two and a half weeks, as I was too busy to be involved in it! But you know I did this sacrifice for you, my sweet readers! : )
I'm introducing the concept of Kitchen Economy in this post.
Also, any resemblance with real people and places should not be surprising and is most probably intended.
Let's begin! Throughout the last two and a half weeks For the First Time in my life... That's my weekly Friday post, by the way! : ) For the First Time in my life:
- I have rented a car. Technically I haven't, because another guy was driving, but I inspired the whole trip. We have ridden a bike from the university campus to Lansing Airport to pick the car up - it was no more than 8 miles... We started our ride late in the early hours of the day - Lucas and I. It lasted from 7:40 am to 9 am. On our way to the airport a small poodle-like looking dog almost ate me together with my bike! Honestly!
- I have been squeezed on the front seat of a rental car for about 15 minutes because of the two bikes occupying the back seat!
- I have spent more than 8 hours stuck in a car with an Australian (Lucas) and two British (Louise and Andy). We had so much fun!
- I have been digging sand for an hour trying to get our vehicle back on the road. Lucas has decided to check if an Economy car can drive on the sand. Hm... No, Lucas, it turns out that it can not. : )
- I have never ever enjoyed digging in the sand so much!
- I've been to Lake Michigan.
- I've swam in the just a bit chilly waters of Lake Michigan in... October! : )
- I have been turned into a mermaid on the beach.
- I have played "Sandman". The first rule is to start playing immediately after going out of the water, which in our case meant going out of the water after the 4th minute, as it really was chilly. The second rule is to start rolling into the sand. And no, Lucas, there is no third rule saying that you can throw sand in other players faces!
- I have been willing to buy a pumpkin so much that I've actually almost dreamed about buying one yesterday night. "Almost" sounds pretty close to having actually dreamed about it!
- Other people have been sending messages to my friends via my mobile phone, without me knowing that. Thank you for that, Lucas! : )
- I have tried the German wine Jacob Demmer - thanks for your good choice Juliane!
- I have enjoyed having fresh air with Felix, Max and Ariel, whatever that means to you : )
- I have been to the opening of the basketball season at Michigan State University. It felt like NBA at certain moments! The coach of the men's team arrived on a micro Top-gun jet! There was a lot of fire, many lights, there was the HUGE cube with screens above the court. There was a Norwegian with me as well... Thanks, Christian!
- I have been to a bar with Rhone Eppelheimer - it turned out that there is a lot more in common between the way Americans and Bulgarian think and have fun, than I've ever thought.
- I have realized that generosity and kindness pays back. I risked loosing a lighter trying to help a stranger but... again, it payed back! I can't go into more details, I'm sorry. Be sure I enjoyed myself, though!
- I have joined the Operations team of the Formula Racing Team at MSU. It turned out that it was a lot more expensive to build a small Formula 1 type car from scratch than I thought. We are making the body of the car from carbon fibers. In order to do this we need a module that we can't manufacture ourselves that costs 50 000... And this is only a tiny part of the expenses. So... it is going to be an exciting year for the whole team and in particular the Operations team , who have to find sponsors to make our adventure to the First Prize in all planned competitions possible : )
- I have started drinking at 9 am on a Saturday. At 10:30 we were already having tequila shots... However, this is not alcoholism - it's called "tailgating". Basically because of the fact that the American Football team has got a home game you are allowed to drink on campus. It is a tradition to support all Spartan teams, if you study at MSU. As a real Spartan, I could not refuse to offer my support! Yes, we have won the game, although Ariel found out about this about 4 hours after it finished. : )
- I have taken a picture with a human-like alien, dressed entirely in green. Obviously the MSU Football team is quite popular not only oversees, but also overspace.
- I have started writing an essay which can earn me 1000 dollars and... haven't yet finished it... two days before the deadline.
- I have participated, in the invention of the Kitchen Economy. This is a science that strives to explain the world and the forces behind economic events entirely relying on... kitchen equipment. It's at the same time better and worse than the "Ketchup Economy" - if you're not aware of that one, you should google it yourselves. I'm not supposed to explain other people's theories, right? In a nutshell our Kitchen Economy runs on kitchen tools and supplies. Different countries, as Norway for example, are built from napkins. Bulgaria is a glass of milk. The bears on the North Pole, which actually outnumber the people there, are salt and the latter are pepper. Eyjafjallajokull - for short also known as "the volcano that erupted in Iceland last summer" - is a can of pepper. And if we go into currency then I should quote an article by.. myself: "In an ideal world, where people use banana currency, one banana exchanges for two oranges. The exchange rate between oranges and apples is 1:3. Then... please, Trine, remove the saltern from the napkin - there are no volcanoes on this island!...I was saying that then one banana exchanges for six apples..." You should have been able to get a fairly good idea of what the Kitchen Economy is by now... Co-inventors: Trina, Kathrine, July, Anna, Ina, Louis, Tiaan.Trina has been pronounced the official finder of this whole new branch in scientific thought.
- I have promised 6 girls a mention in this post, for simply enjoying the way my butt looks, while claiming to be "just checking out" my new jeans. So: July, Tiaan, Kathrine, Trina, Anna, Gil - thank you for being so kind to inform me that my jeans look so good... on my nice butt : )
Let me stop here, before I've mentioned how a girl with whom I had been dancing fell off the stage and... no, no. That's about it for this week. : )
Please do me a favor and be enjoying yourselves seven days a week. If you can do more than seven days a week - sounds even better! : )
Best,
Yavor
