12/23: using my "money"

Each semester we get dollar-credits toward food at work; it can't be converted to real money, and it disappears if we don't use it.  This past semester Chris and I ate less often in the cafeteria than usual, so we had a lot of credit left.  In the final days of the semester I used mine to buy (many) small bags of potato chips and little bottles of apple juice in the campus snack shop.  It took me three trips, filling up a tote bag each time, and that made me feel a little foolish.  But today, as I ate some chips and sipped some juice, I was glad I took the time to do it.
