How to sleep in until 10 am:
Go out to dinner with the newspaper staff for Thai. Order pad ped with grilled eggplant. Attend the PLNU homecoming variety show, smirk at the tuba player's bad taste in humor, and eat a piece of celebratory cake. Go to the Driftwood editor's house and play Risk until 2 am. Drape a blanket around your bed to make a snug, dark cave. Sleep.
How to run a new route:
Map out a 3 1/2 mile loop from campus to Shelter Island and back. Grab the mp3 player your sister recently loaded with exciting music. Enjoy the easy jog into bucolic blissful suburbia, down past docked sailboats, through the quaint bayside downtown. Reach the foot of Talbot St. and realize that it is All Uphill From Here. Go at it anyways. Play California by Phantom Planet, summiting the apex of the highest point just as the drums swell into the chorus ("California...California...Here we come!"). Break out some triumphant yoga moves in Nease's backyard.
How to [generously] feed eight people for $11.32:
Get a ride to Henry's from your next-door neighbor and her obliging upperclassman boyfriend. Purchase 3 scoops of cornmeal, 1.72 lbs. hot pork sausage, a can of crushed tomatoes in basil, 1 yellow onion, a bag of brussels sprouts, a head of cauliflower, 2 potatoes, and a pumpkin pie on sale. Silently curse the powers that be for cancelling open dorm that night so that everyone would go to the homecoming game that you and your dinner guests are skipping out on for various reasons. Get a ride from the aforesaid boyfriend down to the boys' dorm, where the kitchen is always open. Chop, steam, sauté, and simmer. Serve the savory goodness:
Polenta
Italian sausage
Crushed tomato sauce
Steamed cauliflower
Sautéed brussels sprouts
Pumpkin pie
Go to bed at 9:15 and sleep luxuriously for 10 or 11 hours (optional).
