Cornell Adventures Part IV

Last day!

We explored the library, which had a super fancy room donated by a previous university president










Afterwards we went to visit the agricultural building. . .


Tee hee.


And found the apple vending machine!


Triumph!

Cornell Adventures Part III

We went down to the commons which is a shopping area down a steep steep hill.

First stop was a thrift store, tried on some scandalous dresses and figured out exactly why someone had chosen to sell them . . .



At the same thrift store found buckets of toys. Guess what I bought? XP

Afterwards we visited a bookstore with comics! And also another secondhand/vintage store that was much ritzier and had funky things from WWII.



I am jealous of their elevators. . .




Retreated again to cowcliffs to stack cards. Guess who won?



Hint: Not me.



Someone baked a portal cake to celebrate it being free on steam. Since we were playing portal at the time, of course we had to have some. ;)


That night was the last night of the dining hall being open, and as per tradition, all residents dress up to go eat.

Drawing in the living room, which for some reason is called cowcliffs?





Caterpillars!





Another night, another room. . .

Italian Food & Cake

So I got to make dinner again for my family, more italian food.



Bread I made from scratch. It turned out to be absolutely delicious and well worth the 2 days I spent making it. It wasn't really that hard, just a lot of waiting. Recipe from here.



The main part of dinner was chicken parmesan. Something that I've never made before, but something that you all know well that I love. This wasn't too hard either, and it also turned out really good.


So a new bakery called Cake opened up in town so I went down there with a few friends to check it out.



I got a box of mini cupcakes, one of each kind, to try them out and share with my family. Half of them had been eaten already by the time I took this photo. . . XD



And of course I got a big cupcake for myself. Mmmm, mocha. . .

Homelessness

I remember being told in school that there were some homeless people in our town, but until today I never really believed that.

My town in general is really well off, and you never see any bums lying around on street corners and whatnot. But I've been in the center of town everyday to go to the library for tutoring and I noticed that I always seem to see this one old man looking in trash cans. If I hadn't seen him taking bottles out of the trash for the recycling money, I wouldn't have thought he was homeless at all. He seemed fairly well dressed and not in the least bit scruffy. But all the same I realized that he must be homeless because he was wandering around and checking every trash can for bottles. When he found one, he'd put it away in a big old shopping bag that was stuffed to the brim with them.

Even in lexi-land there are touches of the real world.

Wisdom teeth

So I got my wisdom teeth out yesterday, how exciting!

It really wasn't that bad. Just a lot of swelling makes it painful to eat/swallow/talk. Also I can't eat anything really delicious. :(
