Day 53: Return of the Baguette

The baguette came at me when I was at my lowest. I was covered in sweat, despite sleeping on top of the covers and having the fan my family gave me turned to the "Medium" and "Oscillate" settings. I was tired, after a night of rough sleep spent dreaming about what it must be like to be Bruce Willis when he realizes he's dead at the end of the Sixth Sense. Whoops, after-the-fact spoiler alert. I overslept, because I had forgotten to set an alarm on my dead iPhone. And I needed to shave, because I was as hairy as an 8 year-old Paul Bunyan.

Then, without warning, I opened the door to find a baguette sitting there on the table, smiling at me with its golden brown crust and relishing in my despair. WHAT. A. JERK! However, like the Star Wars movie referenced by the title of this post, it was time to make a comeback against this bready Sith lord. The shower and shave revitalized me like Leia freeing Han Solo from the carbonite in Jabba's Palace. Then I was ready to assault the breakfast table like it was the Death Star's shield generator on Endor. My ewoks, butter and strawberry jam, helped me take down some of the baguette, but before long, I found myself facing off against the baguette and the warm milk, one-vs-two like Luke against Vader and Emperor Palpatine. The Nesquik helped bring out the good in the milk and together, we were able to defeat the baguette before I drank the milk's last gulp. George Lucas would have been proud of this meal.

Have you heard enough nerd yet?
I walked to school with Alice, walked home for lunch with Marissa, cabbed back to school, and walked home with Marissa, Elle, and Tash after school. We stayed at school for two and a half hours because we had to meet with our professors about our final papers. For my gender in the medina paper, I will be writing about women's participation in sports and interviewing people's host siblings about their athletic involvements. It should be a fun paper to write and Prof. Sadiqi seemed excited about it too.
Tonight, I watched the 1 hour long season finale of How I Met Your Mother and the movie Crazy Stupid Love. Such a good movie and a good use of time. After, I watched the first 45 minutes of Jurassic Park 3, but got too tired, so I'll finish it tomorrow night.

I was just happy to come out of this day alive and as a Jedi Breakfast Knight!
