MIA- Kit Kat

Okay, so today was a haze. It just totally blew by without me being concious for most of it. At least that's what I feel like. No, I don't do drugs, and I don't drink either. I'm not tired, or depressed, or unsettled... not even constipated! It's just one of those days. Perhaps its called "Want more Thanksgiving Break" day.

So I began my afternoon by picking up a wonderful gift bag from the sophomore class. At least that's what Justin Norse told me when he gave me the bag. On the bag it said "Good luck with Finals! love Mom and Dad!" Although my parents are fully aware that I don't have finals this week, it was nice of them to send me fun food! When I got the bag, Justin was like "Thank the sophomore class!" and I was thinking "No. I am going to thank my PARENTS for spending money on me!" Man, that sophomore class is all about the benjamins.

My girlfriend was supposed to be visiting me today for an hour or so for lunch. The plan was to meet her at the front of Admin and then go to lunch. Unfortunately she was unable to make it (she was visiting UPJ and they were behind schedule). But while I was waiting for her, and eating DELICIOUS Sun Chips, I found a marvelous full-size kit kat bar in my bag! Oh sweet rapture. There are two chocolate devices that I enjoy in this world: Reeses and Kit Kats.

I looked down at this Kit Kat and imagined the PERFECT time to eat it. I made a mental note: Eat this Kit Kat tonight while you are doing work on your computer. So I took the candy bar out of the bag and zipped it in my backpack, I wanted to make sure it never left my sight. There are many mooches in my vacinity here at SHU, and they would KILL for this bar!

The Kit Kat ran through my mind most of the day. And really, that is one of the few things that has managed to stay IN my mind. I mindlessly worked through Design class, getting about 50% done with my final project. Throughout the class I could see the Kit Kat winking at me in my bag. Oh how I lust for thee!!! I stared through dinner, eating my salsbury steak (which, tomorrow, will be called "meat loaf") and saying very little. I ran back to my room and got to work on the computer. But since I am in such a daze today, this work consisted of 30 min of staring at the screen while Ben Folds tinks in the background, 20 min of talking to my friends on AIM (the best invention in the history of communication, next to the phone and the smoke signal), and worked on a promotional letter for my comedy show. Then I decided... it was time for the Kit Kat.

I went to my backpack, but for some reason the back was empty. The only thing in my bag was the kit kat and it was gone! I traced my steps throughout the entire room, and the candy was nowhere to be found. My day, which was a droll succession of events, led up to this very moment: the eating of my kit kat. AND IT WAS GONE!

As They Might Be Giants say, "If it wasn't for disappointment, I wouldn't have any appointment." Oh so true John and John. Oh so very true.

What a crappy way to start off my week. Tomorrow I will probably be given a Reeses cup by someone, and then some small animal will come and take it from me.... well at least that way I will know what happened to it.
