Brain Food

         In the last month, my husband and I wrote a lot of papers for school.  Some of them were over ten pages and some were nonfiction works.  Needless to say, we've been writing  a lot.  If there is one lesson to be learned in going back to school, it is that, while writing papers, leave the house and get a bite for a bit of fresh air.  At one point during the past month, I felt as if my eyes would gush out of their sockets,  my brain would explode and my wrists ached so bad that they cried, "Uncle"!  The only way to get a second wind it to take a good break and do something for ourselves for short break.  After talking a bit, we decided that Chinese food would do the trick, so off we went.   As we sat in our booth, our waitress ask us how our day was going?  We told her that we were busy writing papers.  She laughed and told us that we came to the right place to feed our brains.  Two weeks later, Brian and I walked back into our favorite Chinese restaurant for lunch.  Ted's buddies left over $17.00 worth of cans in his house and he gave the cans to us as a gift. We do not mind, it was enough to pay for our "finals are over celebration meal" and the tip.  Our waitress asked me what I got the paper I was writing a couple of weeks earlier? I told her an "A", she laughed and told me that it was because we ate good Chinese brain food.  Thinking upon this "brain food" idea, I decided that for now on we would go there for lunch whenever we had papers to write.  After all maybe there is something to it.
