Snow day #2 1/2

Hello girls!

So I am currently on my second (technically second and a half because we got out early on Tuesday) day off of school. Snow at almost every point around my house goes up to my thighs, the dog literally falls into the snow and we're afraid she will get lost. Also, apparently my mother and I suck at using snowblowers, because my dad had many complaints about our driveway when he got back. (He was at work for two days straight, AND he has duty tomorrow night).

I have a little bit of homework to still do today (two math worksheets, one french worksheet, and some history reading that I was supposed to have done for class on tuesday), but that will probably only take two hours max. So the question is, what do I do with my free time? I've already played about 13 hours worth of the sims 3 Tuesday and Wednesday (in this span of time in the family I was working in, two family members died right before they hit their lifetime wishes, one began her journey into the career of athletics after training entirely through her teenhood and is now at level seven of the career as team captain, and I am planning on her adopting a child once she reaches her lifetime goal of level 9 in the athletic career, which I expect will be before she finishes the young adult phase of life. Yeah, I'm too invested in this).

Right, where was I before that huge parentheses? Ok, so I basically need something new to do that isn't homework. My plan at this point is very likely going to be sit on my butt all day and play more video games, but if y'all have any ideas that would be great.

And for your enjoyment, here is a survey that I am devising right off the top of my head:

Deserted Island
For some reason, you have landed on a magical deserted island. And by magical deserted island, I mean that it is, for some reason, already equipped with a tv with dvd player and cable hook up, a library, a five star restaurant, a cd player, and a computer hooked up to the internet. The problem is that all of these items that magically exist on the island have issues, mainly that the majority will only give you access to three of the things you choose, and thus begins the deserted island survey. Fill it out in your next post, and I will fill it out in my next post.

You go to turn on the tv, and a message pops up telling you that you may pick three dvds (that will be upgraded as the magical tv's technology increases) to watch for the rest of your life. What are they?

After this a new message pops up telling you that the cable box will only show three channels. What three channels do you watch for the rest of your life?

After this the tv informs you that you may choose one video game console to hook up to the tv, and choose three video games to play on that console for the rest of your life. What are they?

After this you decide to visit the library. It is huge and echos, but there are neither books nor people in this library. You do however find a note, it informs you that this library will only allow you to select from three books for the rest of your life. Faced with this enormous decision, what do you choose?

It is now lunch time and you are getting hungry. The airline food did little for you at breakfast, and your hunger gnaws at your soul in a quest for appeasement. You decide to visit the five star restaurant, wary of what choice it may cause you to make now. You arrive, and luckily are given far more options that you would have thought possible! Three meals for breakfast, three meals for lunch, and three meals for dinner as well as two desserts and one soft drink! With this vast array of choices what will be on the menu? (Dinners include a vegetable and one other side, all lunches come with one side, and breakfasts come with one fruit and one side. So for example, you could pick french toast with sausage and grapes as one breakfast. The sides stay with the meal).

No longer hungry, you return to the tv. You had not realized that next to the tv there was a radio and computer! You go to turn on the radio but notice there are no buttons. You guess that you probably can only pick three CD's to play for the rest of your life, and lo and behold, you open the cd drive and there is a blank disk informing you that you can only pick three CD's to play for the rest of your life. You write down the names of three cd's on the blank cd. What are they?

Finally you go to turn on the computer. You click on the internet eager to chat with your friends, when the home page gives you a message. It explains that you may pick only three websites to visit for the rest of your life, but you may not post anything on the websites, effectively keeping you from communicating your distress signal to the world, or talk to your friends. What three websites do you pick?

After making all of these decisions and realizing that this is it for the rest of your life, you cry a little, but then think about it a bit more. This deserted island might not be so bad. Certainly not home, but there is a great deal to do here, and perhaps one day you will be saved. So you make the best of it, and live a new life on the deserted island.
