Mangoes!

So, don't ask me why, but lately I have been having this really strang obsession with mangoes lately. Yes, really weird isn't it?

I think this recent rash of obsession started a few weeks back. There's wasn't any internet on campus, so was stuck cruising the university website. (Don't shun me, had to get my internet fix somehow!) I ran across an article advertising the sale of produce at Finca Alzamorra (the farm on campus that is linked with the agriculture sutendts and the Agriculture Extention Service). They were selling MANGOES!

When I told people that I wanted to make it all the way to the farm (its out of the way and across campus), everyone looked at me all funny. Why pay for getting a mango when the entire campus is littered with them?

Here's the deal. Why pick one off the floor, scouting for an unruined one, when I can simpl buy a perfect fruit and the only scouting I have to do is for the variety that strikes my fancy?

This all reminds me of the time, a few years back, when I was visiting my older brother on campus. We were walking to go take one of his classes when we passed by a lot of fallen mango. Since he was giving me a sort of tour, he pointed out to them and said "And here are the mangoes, a way for the campus to feed its students." I remember how much I giggled about that and it brought a giggle to me yesterday when I saw a huge covering of liters all over the ground.

I still haven't gone to buy my mango yet, but I will. Won't be happy until I get it. I won't be happy until I get a few other things too, but that's a different blog story.
