AS TOLD BY DAVID NINOMIYA
We asked if we could have pepperoni for half and pepperoni and mushrooms for the other half. They said we could do the pepperoni and something on one half, and pepperoni and mushrooms for the other. Reed was perplexed cause if we had pepperoni and sausage for one half, and pepperoni and mushrooms for the other, it'd be like three toppings. I reasoned they were not using 3 toppings per se, but rather the equivalent of 2 because the amount of toppings used would equate to two in the end. Reed and I debated this but no matter of how a 2 topping pizza could have 3 toppings.
I had to defrost my fridge, so around 11PM I unplugged my fridge and went to study for my Economics Final. From 11PM to midnight I kept checking to see how it was melting, and it was doing ok, but around 12:30AM the ice started to get dry, like it wasn't dripping wet as it had been in the previous hour. Normally, the basic laws of physics and temperature told me that there's no way the ice would stop melting in the 80 Degree Hawaii weather. However, this is Finals week, so my brain was kind of fried.
My reasoning that the ice stopped melting was that the cold that night or the air outside was drying it, so I closed the small panel to try make it moist in the freezer to make the ice start melting again. It didn't. At this point I tried putting my hands on it to use my body heat to make it start melting, but to no avail. I figured screw it, I'll deal with it later, I have final to study for.
It was now 3AM, Reed still awake doing something, so I'm still in the room, and the ice still hasn't melted yet. I'm pretty upset by this, but I don't know what to do. After reed goes to sleep at 4AM, I leave and study outside our room. At 5AM I'm pretty hungry and exhausted, so I come back in the room (Reed's still asleep despite the fact I knock something over in addition to turning on my lamp).
I then go to make Campbell's soup, and the microwave didn't start. I'm thinking, sheesh, ice won't melt in fridge, microwave doesn't work. Man, this sucks, why are all my appliances messing with me? I keep trying to turn the microwave on, and look at the power cord. Apparently it was pulled out. Doh, earlier in the evening, I unplugged my microwave instead of my fridge. This explains a lot. Boy, of all things to make a guy feel stupid.
I stayed up all night on 2 cans of soda and willpower, then went to Econ, which was pretty tough, but I survived.
