Today...

was the EIGHTH day of my journey. It marks the beginning of an extremely busy week again. I cannot believe that I even have to finish writing a 5-page critical assessment paper by tonight. I regretted that I did not start writing yesterday or the day before. I just cannot not concentrate on it right now and I simply don't have any motivation to continue on with my writing. But then, one thing that pleased me and feel a short moment of relax is the tasting of CHOCOLATE. I finally got the opportunity to consume chocolates from Mars, Incorporated(M&M's). So, I tried its original flavor Milk Chocolate. I actually found this fun size pack randomly from my brother's desk one day. I immediately ran to him and asked for his permission whether I could consume or not.

In general, I really enjoyed today's experiment. Ever since I was young, I have loved to eat different products from M&M's, especially its dark chocolate and milk chocolate. Even though its calories is 240, in which I think it is already quite high for this few amount of chocolates. Yet, its price is low, in which it is affordable for me. M&M's has just made my day.
