<p>blech, i miss school, when i have a schedule and friends. waking up late all the time and doing nothing sucks.</p>
<p>I skipped math team a couple of days ago. I was at marching band camp and…the only way I could make it to math team was if I ate luch during math…meh. I had my lunch with my band friends :]</p>
<p>rebel.</p>
<p>you have math team in the summer?</p>
<p>I have math team every Wednesday, year round except for Christmas/Winter break.</p>
<p>^Do you ever spontaneously not show up?</p>
<p>^^^^^^You sometimes find really good deals though. I somehow got from here to Edinburgh and from London back here for $800 (which was all my money then, but whatevs). And I bought the tickets only about two weeks before I went. On the other hand, going to Boston from here cost the same amount when I bought the tickets like a week or 4 days before.</p>
<p>cross-country road trips cost more than plane trips [gas, food, and lodging add up].</p>
<p>^But road trips are more fun:P!</p>
<p>What’s an easy way to remove rust from metal that’s actually practical for me to do at home?</p>

<p>Food can’t be included in the cost of a road trip. You’re going to eat no matter what form of travel you take. So taking food and gas into account, for a family of five LA to NY and back:</p>
<p>Plane tickets
[ul][<em>]$400 round trip per ticket
[</em>]$2000 total[/ul]</p>
<p>Road Trip
[ul][<em>]5,600 miles round trip: 30 mpg, $3 pg = $560
[</em>]100 hours round trip - 12 hours a day, 8 days on the road, 3 days in hotels each direction, 6 total days, $100 per night = $600
[*]$1200 total[/ul]</p>
<p>^But the average family isn’t of five.</p>
<p>^^you will eat more food on a cross-country road trip than a plane trip, as a cross-country road trip takes multiple days. In any case, if you are under 18 and visiting a college, wouldn’t you only be going with one parent or guardian? in that case, 3 of those plane tickets are unnecessary and a plane trip is the more cost-effective option [if you also include the fact that you will spend less on food overall if you take a 3-day trip versus a 5 or 6-day one].</p>
<p>Glad all my friends are at the town fair. Guess I should have gone… always a confidence booster</p>
<p>i don’t hate you because you’re fat, you’re fat because i hate you</p>

<p>Speaking of eating food, I just finished an entire container of pringles in one afternoon while waiting for my dad in the car :o.</p>
<p>^ Were they flavored? I really dislike unflavored chips unless they are in onion dip. Unfortunately, I haven’t found any onion dips or flavored chips (except Sun Chips) that I can eat.</p>
<p>I once ate a whole family sized bag of sour cream and onion ruffles. I threw up.</p>
<p>Now I CAN’T STAND the smell and anything sour cream and onion.</p>
<p>Shame, sour cream and onion was my favorite.</p>
<p>^^Nope, they were the “original” ones I picked up at the grocery store. Pringles are awesome. I personally like them better than Sun Chips (which I only had once in a while in the school cafeteria).</p>
<p>^ Yeah, I don’t like Sun Chips very much, but they are the only flavored chips that I’ve seen that don’t have MSG.</p>
<p>And now you sound like mifune with his talks about mecury and tuna fish. I think I worry more about the 38q94y320954739857 grams of trans fat in that container of Pringles that I just ate than the MSG.</p>
<p>One thing I’ll never miss about the UK… Prawn Cocktail Crisps (in US terms: shrimp cocktail flavored chips)</p>
