My Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day

Okay, today was not the worst day I ever had. It just reminded me of the book/movie title.

I had not cooked at the dorm kitchen for three days, meaning I have not had a hot home-cooked meal in three days. I survived one day on leftovers, second day on cereal and the third day on instant noodles and convenience store packed meal.

Having such a long stretch without wholesome (well, relatively) food, I was determined to cook during peak hours today. My friend joked that the situation now can best be described as the “hunger games”, so I wanted to channel my inner Katniss Everdeen. I don’t care how crowded it is, I will cook today!

I went down at the start of peak hour, hoping I was the first but when I got there, the kitchen was full and people were already in the midst of preparing their meals. I was really shocked. Did they wait outside the kitchen for the cleaning staff to finish?!
