HUGE NEWS

Some of you may remember that in early July, I wrote a blog about how I had just started a new roll of toilet paper.  Coincidentally, the name of that post was "big news" and this one was titled "HUGE NEWS" before I had gone back and found the old one.  Clearly there is some sort of continuity in my consciousness.  Well back to the main point.  Today, on Friday September 16th, I have finished that roll of toilet paper.  Oh boy I just got a great idea.  Alright I'll tell you what it is in a second.

So according to my calculations, this current roll of toilet paper has been in use for 71 days.  If we subtract the 17 days that I was on school break, that leaves us with 54 days using one roll of toilet paper.  Now, let's break this down further.  I will be in missouri  for approximately 3 years and 4 months.  thats 365(3) +1 (leap year in 2012) + 30+31+31+31=1218 days.  Now I'll take out the 7 breaks that I won't be in student clinic for, giving me about 7(15)=105, giving me somewhere around 1113 days in missouri. 1113/54=20.611, so we'll round that up to 21.  Now, my mom bought me 24 rolls of toilet paper when I moved in.  SO, barring any major change in my bowel pattern or having any "slumber parties" if you will, I should never have to buy toilet paper in missouri.  THAT, my friends, is impressive.

NOW, for my awesome idea.  I'm always on the lookout for cheap and awesome things to decorate my room with.  I have decided that, from now on, I will take my empty toilet paper rolls, WRITE THE DATES OF USE, and tape them up on my wall.  BOOM.  This is the best idea I've ever had.  I am so psyched on this.  Before you say "ew, that's gross," consider this.  Your toilet paper roll is completely sanitary.  It doesn't touch poop.  It comes wrapped in like a thousand sheets of toilet paper, and outside of that, it's shrink wrapped (essentially).  And before you say "ok maybe it's sanitary but it's definitely weird, consider this.  SUCK IT I'M DOING IT AND THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO TO STOP ME

They call me the roll collector.
