Things have been a bit hectic lately, because I've just moved down to Tucson to go to college. A few things happened right off the bat that made the transition a little rough. First, as soon as I got here I realized that it's hot. Like, REALLY hot. So hot you always want to take a shower and chug water and if the AC isn't on you can only lie on your bed (which only has sheets on it) helplessly trying to wish the heat away. Secondly, on my first day of school I walked out of my apartment to find the cable that had been keeping my bike safe and locked up cut clean through on the ground with no bike in sight. I guess I forgot about all that "Tucson has a ton of crime" stuff. Third, I went to buy my books for the semester, couldn't find 3 of them, and found that what I did find came to four hundred freaking dollars. Please, show me the person that thinks that college kids can pay that much money for 5 books! It's absolutely preposterous.
Anyways, after spending a small fortune on books I really needed to find a cheap place to buy groceries. It makes me sad that I don't have enough money to buy quality food, but you gotta do what you gotta do... and I'm usually pretty good at turning cheap crap into quality meals. I finally found out about this "Food City" place, which it turns out seems to be a grocery store designed for Mexicans. All the Mexican labels and ads were huge and I had to search for the English definition in tiny print underneath. I'm not complaining though because they had ridiculously awesome deals like 3 pounds of jalapenos for a dollar and 4 bunches of cilantro for 99 cents. I wanted to buy everything! Of course I kept it small and only spent about 35 dollars.
