I just have to write about Cheeburger Cheeburger at UF. I have been there three times and all three times there have been problems. My first time, I tried to order waffles. Guess what? They don't make waffles, but they are on the menu. The second time, for lunch, I ordered a hamburger. I had to wait 15 minutes because they were waiting on fries. Guess what? I didn't order fries. The orders in front of mine had fries, and they could only make four burgers at a time. So everybody after them had to wait even if they did not have fries. My third time, I tried to order a salad, and they tried to charge me $12.79 for one salad. The salad did not even have meat on it.

I picked up "Twilight" because my roommates told me that I'd love it and I wouldn't be able to put it down, not because I was expecting the next great American novel or anything of the sort. While I don't know if "Twilight" has any literary value (in whatever sense of the phrase you mean, that is), I do know that I've never heard anyone claiming that it does. So what if high school students of the future never end up analyzing examples of conflict in the books and underlining metaphors describing Edward's appearance as akin to David? And for that matter, "Harry Potter" isn't scheduled to reach the classroom any time soon, either. It's still highly entertaining when I want to lose myself in a fictional story.
