Day 199

Today was much better than yesterday.  Sometimes the sequences of days make me feel bipolar.  I think some of the days out here are the closest I've ever had to depression, and then there are days where I am very happy.  I'm ready for stable though.

I forgot to mention that I got a package from Emili yesterday, which was great!  Cadbury Eggs, Cliff Bars, cracker snacks, and a birthday card (haven't opened yet).  So that was very nice, and I look forward to the treats.  And today I got a package from Emili's mom, which sets the bar pretty high!  She sent homemade fudge, other chocolate goodies, and a card too (waiting to open too).  So I have a very nice stash of quality snacks!!  Thank you all!

I think I first noticed the quality in the dining hall declining when they haven't had anything green on the salad bar for a while.  No lettuce, no cucumbers, etc.  And we apparently ran out of Gatorade, so we are serving three different flavors of Tang now.  Traditional orange, pineapple, and mango.  Interesting choice, really.

Anyhow, here are a few pictures I wanted to share.  I've been meaning to, but I hadn't uploaded them from my phone.  Enjoy!
