18th February 2006 - Day 124

I spent the early part of the day punching holes in my notes. Just doing some organisation before I start on the revision for the next module.

It was a lazy day for me. Nothing much done. I guess it'll be better spent visiting some other towns.

In the afternoon, I decided I'll go to Wal-Mart. No reasons in particular, just wanted to get some fresh air. I got a packet of deep frozen drumsticks for dinner, coffee, and a packet of Dickmann's.

I've been looking with interest at this particular Dickmann's thing. It looks like a solid block of chocolate on the outside. But the weight gives it away. If they were really solid, they would not be so light.

After I got back to the hostel, I made myself a cup of coffee and opened the packet of Dickmann's.

I took a bite of it and found that underneath the chocolate coating is a whole lot of cream! Actually, it's supposed to be marshmallow. I learnt that it's called a Schaumkuss.

It's quite sweet. I should buy the smaller sized ones next time. Too much marshmallow.

Some facts I've gathered about my rate of consumption of selected items in a month:

Coffee - 100 grams (amount increases during exam period)
Fine sugar with coffee - 500 grams (as above)
Bread - 3.6 loaves of 5oo grams each
Milk - 8.5 litres (no stomachaches now surprisingly)
Eggs - 25 (that's almost one every day!)
Pizza* - 8 of 350 grams each
Potato chips* - 5 packs of 300 grams each
Shower gel - 250 millilitres (dependent on brand used)
Toothpaste - approximately 60 grams (assuming I forget to brush my teeth on 2 nights every week)
Euro - Variable. Averages about 650 per month due to exam period where travelling is non-existent.

Note *: Stopped eating as they are believed to be responsible for my expanding waistline. Number was taken last month.

I ran out of movies to watch. Watched Big Fish again, this time restraining myself from fast forwarding.

I should have placed the exams slightly earlier. I'm losing momentum. Have to pick up speed again after relaxing for 2 whole days.

So, marshmallows for coffee break tomorrow!
