Closets and Calories

Well, today is Tuesday the second official day of my spring break vacation. I am already feeling more relaxed then last week. I hope that by the end of this week I will be up to the final two months of school. Complete with exams and a final decision about where I will be attending college next year. But right now my biggest decisions is whether or not I should eat my chocolate bunny or egg first. And boy is that a hard decision.

Because I am on break I will not tell you an interesting chem/math/psych fact. Because I'm sure you will all miss so much.


I live in one of those houses where there is always some kind of noise going on. My sister playing the flute, my dad talking to his computer, my mom doing the washing, someone listening to music or other day to day noises. If fact some times I feel over powered by the noise. You feel like going out of your room and saying very loudly in a voice that is really only adding to the noise level "BE QUIET, please" But of course that wouldn't endear myself to my family in a very family friendly manner. So when I feel the need for peace and quiet I retreat to my closet. It is a very nice closet, big with lots of space and is in the most marvelous place in the house. For some reason my closet blocks out most noise. My person feeling is that the builders messed up and accidentally sound proofed it, but for what ever reason my closet is the quietest place in the house. I can sit in there and read a book completely oblivious to the sounds of life happening around me. (This would not be advantageous if the house was being broken into or general public/natural disaster was happening. But really what are the chances that the few minutes a day I spend in my closet are the minutes where the house would be broken into or a public/natural disaster happened.) The other reason I enjoy being in my closet is that it is extremely messy. And there is something strangely appealing about being surrounded my one's own mess.


Cheers!

Amendment 3: Does eating chocolate while standing over the sink cancel out the calories from the chocolate? And does it matter if they are food calories or chemical calories? These are the deep questions the calorie philosophers try to understand.
