Long Time No See
I’ve been very busy in the past few days, getting settled into my school routine and doing the massive amount of homework I’ve been given. I should have expected the enormous workload – I am taking 4 high school courses this year – and managed my time better. Thankfully, the first two weeks of school have been short, due to holidays.
I haven’t had any time to play Runescape during the past week, but now that I have the next 4 days off, hopefully I’ll be able to get more playing in.
First off, Jagex released the “Grimy Herbs” update while I was off. The update is very useful, even though I do very little with herbs. Still, it’s nice to know that Jagex is thinking up ways to stop scammers. Also released while I was off was the Varrock Achievement Diary. I haven’t had an opportunity to try it out, but I may do so this weekend. Hopefully my efforts will be rewarded with some nice xp – or that new armor.
Before school started, I also gained a bunch of Hunter levels. The first level I gained was 59 hunter, up 12 from 47 the week before.
I’m planning to take a break and get my farming level up, but once I do that it’ll be back to hunting, which I’m hoping to take all the way to 80.
Theft
No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Someone stole my graphing calculator. Yes, somebody stole my $100+ graphing calculator. Crap.
School Lunches
Sorry I haven’t posted in 8 days, I’ve had a ton of homework and extra swim practices while preparing for the Golds swim meet this week end. But I digress.
School Lunches. A sorry excuse for a full sized meal. What I have noticed, though I rarely by a lunch at school, is that the portions of food that you are given are what most of us students consider average, at best. A small tray of popcorn chicken and some mashed potatoes is not enough to fill a hungry students bottomless pit of a stomach.
I have also noticed that the phrase “more for less” definitely does not apply to school lunches. For example, a school lunch, such as the one given in the previous paragraph, costs $2. One of those big Wendy’s hamburgers costs $.99. You could get a bigger lunch that actually filled you up for less money at a fast food restaurant. Also, the price for a meal (school) has also gone up about $.25 since last year. A school lunch is a measly excuse for a way to earn the school a *large* profit without spending a massive amount of money.
