My Shiny New Chocolate Frog (Suzanne)

Remember how at the start of the semester I told you about my Contracts lecturer who gives out chocolate frogs for good contributions in class discussions, and then gets the students with the highest frog-counts to battle it out in a quiz competition for a really big frog at the end of semester?

Well, in my room, there is currently a gold-wrapped frog from Haigh’s Chocolates that is larger than my face and weighs about a pound. Which, for the slightly slower of you, means that I won the Frog-Off and am writing this post for the sole purpose of gloating. Not that it actually matters because most of the Frog-Off questions really have nothing to do with the contract law we’re examined on so it’s still quite possible that I’ll totally fail Contracts. (Man, I wish my actual exam would ask me which case this semester involved an exploding vacuum cleaner instead of asking me to actually understand the law involved in said case)

But, although I spent all semester trying to get free chocolate by answering questions, and should therefore be devouring the frog right now, I kind of feel very bad eating this frog. It’s very shiny and cute. It has a little label on the back saying ‘Super Frog’. I named it Kermit. I am very attached to Kermit the Super Frog, and the prospect of smashing in his not-so-little head and feasting on the brain chunks makes me a bit queasy. So Kermit the Super Frog will probably remain uneaten. I am thinking of framing his shininess on the wall instead of eating him.

Or I could melt him down and make fondue out of him.

Hmm.
