Popcorn for Breakfast

First of all, I am very proud of myself and you all should be too. As of yesterday I have begun my spider-killing rampage. The spiders here are the biggest ones I've ever seen and I've killed two of them! There was one in the hallway all day yesterday, but it was in the corner too high for me to reach. Every time I left my room I could see it chilling there, a big ominous threat to my safety and mental well-being. Finally, last night on my way out I saw it again and it had moved within my reach! I knew without a doubt if I left it alone it would crawl straight to my room and into my bed. It had to die. Shrieking (because sound effects always help in any battle) I ran into my room and grabbed a flip flop, wrapped toilet paper around it in case of spider guts, and ran back out into the hall, followed by my roommates and two of their friends who were nice enough to cheer me on. I smacked the spider right where he stood (do spiders stand if they are on a wall?) and now, no more mister nasty spider. This morning I saw on on the floor, and quickly stepped on him as well. NOW, there's ANOTHER one on the ceiling, hidden under a vent. All I can see are his freakishly long legs sticking out. I'm afraid I may have started a never-ending war...

Next topic of interest: food. Before I came here, everyone I talked to told me the food was awful. So far, I disagree. Nothing I've eaten so far has killed me or been violently rejected by my body. In fact, I quite enjoy some of it. But I understand why no one likes the food by the time they leave. It is very, very repetitive. I'm quite sure in a month or two I will be as sick of it as everyone else was. On the bright side, rice and beans is at pretty much every meal, and I'm sure I could survive a year on just rice and beans if need be. There are always bananas, apples (red delicious unfortunately, not my favorite by any means) and oranges as well, which I eat at almost every meal. Is it possible to overdose on oranges and bananas? I sure hope not.
This morning I had caramel popcorn for breakfast. Interesting, yes? Delicious though! For breakfast they usually have hot chocolate, really hard toasted bread, and cereal. They also have pastries, though those are usually served at dinner. Apparently every meal is the same, depending on the day (Monday lunch = Monday Lunch, etc).
Well, there you go. Consider yourself updated :)
