The beginning of November

Well, I had to write something new since it's been a few days. There isn't much excitement happening here. During the weekdays Danny is in class from 7 to 5 and is back for a very short time for lunch. He's been sick and not sleeping very well, so he isn't much fun to hang out with. That is on top of the fact that he is a boring old grouch and only 22. :) The last week has been pretty crappy. I usually end up sleeping until 10:30 or so 'cause I am sick, tired and there is nothing else to do besides watch tv.
Meals have been a real challenge too. It is common for people to stay here for many weeks on end, but the quality is that of a low end hotel. We have a minifridge under our bathroom counter (which has no drawers) and nothing else close to a kitchen. Our room is on the 5th floor and the microwave and toasters are on the 1st floor. Our choices for meals are very limited, especially because our freezer is hardly big enough to be called a freezer (it is a little box with a little plastic door in the upper right corner of the fridge). You may be able to fit 2 or 3 hot pockets in there.
Anyway, so we eat cereal for breakfast and whatever we can scavenge for lunch and dinner. Most of the stuff is ready to eat meals or soups that have 50% of you daily intake of sodium in them. Yuck!
On the plus side, we went to dinner at the O club last night. The had lobster for $10. It was a good deal. Since Danny threatened that he'd post it if I didn't: it felt weird to me ripping the meat out of the lobster. I've never done it before even though I've seen other people do it. I said that it felt primitive. Danny seemed to be offended by that, but its not every day that I take a nutcracker and break open a whole animal. Generally I like to stick to forks and spoons or, even better, chopsticks!
We've still got two more weeks of this to go, so if anyone has ideas of things we can eat for cheap that are somewhat healthy (I am pretty conscious of nutritional content of foods) please share. I am open to anything. I hope to get to know the city a little better and find someplace to buy a good meal to bring back to the room. Going out is out of the question only because Danny is so tired when he comes back. I am interested to see how he is feeling tonight. He slept during his lunch break today and had a bowl of cereal, which was the first thing he'd eaten all day. He should be back any time now.
