Hey Russia, do you have a national nut?

So the other day we were just like chillin' in the Commons, eatin' Mac and Cheese (Rui's first time, SUPER funny actually cuz he was like FREAKING out as we put all the butter in. We're like, "it's a nasty American dish, just don't look. It tastes good - just don't think about it." He did end up liking it, so this is good - all I can think of is Massimo from Wedding Planner) anyways and we started discussing nuts. Why? Someone brought up hazelnuts. I LOVE hazelnuts. I was like they are a "dignified" nut. And then I'm like, "Peanuts are nasty...what would you call them?" We decided peanuts are "domesticated". And so we began to classify nuts. Cashews were just "weird" and almonds and pecans fit together in a category of "distinguished". Then we're like, "what about Brazil nuts?" I mean, what do you classify a large, foreign nut as? Danilo pipes up with, "You know, in Brazil, we don't call them Brazil nuts. We call them Para nuts because that's the state they come from." I don't think we ever actually classified them because Brian asks me, "Hey Russia, Russia, does Russia have a national nut?" (Brian has called me Russia since our first hike together when Jessica told him I was from Russia accidentally - he knows I'm not actually Russian...at least I think he does) and we're all like, well does the US have a national nut? It was decided that we should look it up and the classifying came to an end on that interesting note.

Anyways, the moral of the story is WE were really the only nuts actually in the vicinity. Take me for example: I should be working on an 8 page paper, or studying for the quiz tomorrow, or reading the rest of the assigned Bible reading or memorizing Psalm 119: 25-32 but no, I'm here writing random nonsensicalness on my blog.

Seriously though, this week is like insanely busy! Good news is...I washed my sheets today!!!! teehee, so excited to sleep in them tonight. Oh AND I bought icecream bars because, well I love icecream and it was SO HOT today and well, they were cheap. Come to think of it...I didn't eat any of them yet.

OH OH OH!!! Tomorrow is hug a vegetarian day just BTW! So, there is like, ONE vegetarian here. And so tomorrow we may all decide to partake in only vegetables  (and fruits and icecream...and other non-meat stuff) in her honour...plus then we all get hugs!!! (actually I think many people will have major issues with this idea but, well, I'll let ya know how it all goes!
