An Unsatisfactory Dining Experience

I'm moping around in my dorm playing bass guitar, compulsively checking my email, and reading pages from Keith Richard's "LIFE."  I realize that it's getting late and I should probably head to the dining commons before dinner is over.  I get up off my bed and catch my reflection in the mirror, and quickly straighten out a few hairs that are sicking straight out the side of my head.  I fill my pockets with my ID card, room key, menthol cigarettes, and a lighter.  I put my shoes on and slip outside, locking the door behind me.  The air is cool and damp from the afternoon rain, and I redirect my gaze to the sky above me.  After a relaxing walk I make it to the dining commons, greeted by an obnoxiously long line and a noisy crowd.  I usually get a spinach wrap with only vegetables, no dressing.  Today, I felt like changing it up a little...I got a tomato wrap instead.  To my dismay, they were out of lettuce.  On the outside I maintained my sociable smile while I was really pissed off about the lettuce.  I all get in my wrap is vegetables, and now they're out of lettuce?!?  The woman with the black pony-tail gave me a large, wet pickle on the side to make up for the lack of substance.  She handed me the wrap and I was on my way.  I finally got back to my room, turned on the the TV, and plopped on my bed.  The pickle had soaked through the paper and had gotten my bed all wet...just great.  I stole a paper plate from my roommate and transferred over my food.  The pickle had also made my wrap extraordinarily soggy.  I shoved the food in my mouth as quickly as I could, eating only for sustenance.  Being extremely unsatisfied I finished off my meal with a granola bar I fished out of my closet.  I hope my dinner tomorrow is better, today's really sucked!
