Minneapolis, MN (music; seu jorge)

I've arrived back in Minneapolis during finals week. The couches I've been staying on all belonging to students, it's left me more appreciative to the recent coursework I've been exposed to in the last month.

Fundamentals of sterilization; covering hotel rooms to rest stops. Final evaluation including but not limited to timed test for emergency situations and 'would you rather' essay question.
Hotel 101; judging the book by its cover. Wide array of topics covered including personalization & character judgement.
Dietary Science; you are what you eat. Road friendly foods, the pros & cons of hotel breakfasts & house stays, hotel room cooking. *Includes weekly guest lectures...

"It's still possible to make smart decisions while dining on the road. The way I see it, there are a couple things that one must consider when choosing a mobile snack.

1) Portability. Convenience is a must, and the foodstuff must be able to be consumed one-handed.
2) Cost-per-calorie. They pay you well, but not that well. One mustn't try to survive off of low-calorie foods like celery.
3) Availability. Your snack of choice must be readily accessible nationwide. Thus, no tofurkey-jerky or flax-seed-wheat-germ pretzel crackers.
4) Taste. Savory is a must. Too much sweet will make your teeth fall out of your face, and hearty, savory snacks will make your ride that much more enjoyable.
5) Ease of digestion. Say no to chile-powder dusted mango slices and flamin' hot cheetos. Can't have the runs while you've pushing ten tons of sexy van, now can you?"


(Thanks for the tips!)
