Failage

I hate multiple choice tests. I don't understand why teachers would make m/c tests (besides the fact that it's easy to grade). Usually I can easily eliminate 2 choices, but when I'm down to the 50/50 guess, that's when failage takes over. A few years after taking these tests, I experience a real life epic failure.

I went inside Mitsuwa because I was craving some ramen after a night of horrendous dizziness and vomiting (no, I am not preggos). There were two ramen stands - one where people were standing in a line which blocked the sample picture of the foods and one where the line was not as long where I could see the sample of the foods. And guess which line I pick? The shorter line, since I'm more of a visual person and I liked how I could see the food! I didn't really regret anything till after I paid and noticed that my ramen bowl looked different than all the other happy camper's ramen bowls. It suddenly dawned upon me that I picked the wrong stand. The ramen was a-okay, but I kind of regreted not waiting in the longer line.

A few weeks later, there's this talk of a Santouka ramen place. Since I'm not a big So Cal-er kind of person (apparently there's one in West L.A.?), I had no idea what that was, but because of Yelp talk, it sparked my interest. I looked up the address and realized it was the ramen spot I did NOT choose in Mitsuwa.

FAILURE!!!
