Take a Wok

Tonight is Wok Night in the DC. I'm so excited! It's the night when all of Taylor's Asian kids (all twelve of them) cook dinner for the entire campus. The event is sponsored by AAA, the Asian Awareness Association. I have a problem with this name. Usually "awareness" in an organization denotes a disease or disorder, like AIDS awareness or cancer awareness. A nationality is not a disease.

While I could never eat Asian food every day, I enjoy it once in a while. There are a few things I dislike about the DC's Wok Night, though.

1. Big crowds. For some reason, it takes FOREVER to get food on Wok Night. Last year, I had a meeting that got postponed an hour because people were stuck in the wok line.

2. Hidden chopsticks. I can't eat Asian food without chopsticks. It just doesn't taste the same. However, the DC doesn't generally supply such utensils, so after asking 50 people where the chopsticks are, I resentfully resort to my fork. After I've finished eating, I'll look at the next table over, fully furnished with chopsticks. This always happens without fail.

3. The smell. I don't mind the smell of Asian food when I'm hungry, but I'm not a fan of the stench that lingers on my clothes and hair for the rest of the night. Fortunately, everyone else on campus smells the same as I do.

Beyond these few things, I enjoy Wok Night tremendously, especially since tonight is also a meeting of the CHECKERBOARD MENAGERIE!!! *cryptic wink*

I know I said I wouldn't post anything else on this topic, but I guess I'm a liar. Here goes. I just received confirmation that I did, indeed, have a passing grade when I withdrew from Typography. My transcript now reads WP!!! Rejoice.
