What's happening in your world?

I don't think it's a cultural difference. I think what you're thinking of is a buffet but at this restaurant you write down the quantities of the food on an order sheet and give it to a waiter, then they'll prepare it. At buffets nobody really cares since all the food's already been prepared and out for anyone who wants to try it.

I live in the USA, btw.

Recently money's been on my mind more than ever. Especially as in how to get money to pay for tuition. School's been the runner up in my most frequented topics to worry over. Mainly with whether I should transfer or not. I'm leaning towards yes, but the money issue is looming all the more if I do.

I also watched a local news report on public television on how bad the job market is and how so many laid off accomplished professionals with years of experience and education are now fighting for jobs at Target chain stores. Really makes me want to not graduate until I'm thirty. Not that university's gonna let me stay that long-- they want to graduate everyone ASAP so they can get us out of their hair and squeeze in room for freshmen and veterans.

I walked by a piece of paper taped to a door today that said something like "It's such a shame to live life on a checkbook." Or what, go homeless? I know its supposed to mean not to let money be the main drive in life but if I got this sort of reaction to it, somebody else did too.
