Gooey Butter Cake

Well, this afternoon, I decided to make some gooey butter cake...sooo delicious.



HOWEVER, I pulled a block of cream cheese out of the fridge (The very back) and dumped it in my bowl. Some of it got on my finger, so I licked it obviously. NOT OKAY! haha the cream cheese was oldddd, like February 26 old, how it stayed in our fridge so long, I do not know.



All I know, is YUCK!



A lesson for everyone: CHECK DATES PEOPLE!



haha, :)

Sweet Summertime!

Well, I have finished with another year of school, and am now officially a Senior in college! YIIIKES!! But, at the same time, I'm very excited for what the future holds.

To continue with the news of my last post, the Delts named their new sweetheart: ME! It's a Greek tradition, but something that I was very excited to get.

Other big things have been happening as well. I taught my first official lesson in a real classroom, and I am proud to say that it went very well! I had to teach an Honors class a lesson about the Renaissance. It was fun, and I think the kids enjoyed it. The teacher liked it so much that he continued to use the activity that I did in the rest of his classes! Pretty cool, huh?!

After that, it was down to finals and moving back home. Luckily for me, I didn't end up having to sit for any of my finals! :) Yippee.

But, sadly, all three of my roomies graduated a few days later and they are all off in the big kid world. Now, I'm at home, working at Kohl's until June when I leave for Pennsylvania!! Trying to prepare now with finding recipes and things, so wish me luck! :)

Also, musically I'm really enjoying John Mayer's Battle Studies album.

Later gators!

Discussions On Travel Channel

So, my roommates and I have a somewhat regular tradition (depends on our daily schedules) of watching the Travel Channel during our lunch hour. We watch Samantha Brown and Anthony Bourdain. We have decided that we would love to have Samantha Brown's job, but not Anthony Bourdain's, because he eats yucky food.

Not too much out of the ordinary has been going on here. I picked my classes for next semester-first semester of senior year- YIKES!...it will be a tough semester, but doable.

In my Austen and the Bronte's class, we are reading Wuthering Heights and so far it seems to be more interesting than a couple of the other books we have read in class.

Other than that, just counting down until summer! We have the Delta Queen formal this weekend, where they will announce their new sweetheart. Should be pretty fun!

TTFN!

Return from Spring Break!

Hey everyone! I have just returned from my Spring Break trip to Gulf Shores, Alabama, and can I just say that it was amazing! We had such a great time!

We spent a lot of time at our beach house just hanging out with each other all week long. I spent a lot of time making use of the hot tub and spa amenitites that our resort had to offer, but we also spent a lot of time on the beach and playing volleyball. It was a blast.

I went out to eat three time while in Gulf Shores, and had a couple of really great experiences, and one not so good at all. The first night we went to a beachside restaurant that had been recommended by other people on our resort. It was awful. Extremely overpriced food that definitely was not worth what you paid in any way, shape, or form. We learned our lesson pretty quick!!

The second night we went out for pizza and it was the best pizza I have ever had in a restaurant. It was a local place called Papa Rocco's. If you ever go to Gulf Shores, I would put this on your list of places to visit! The pizza was so good and it was cheap, $10 for a large! They had a great local atmosphere too, they were very open to spring breakers, but you could tell it was a local joint. They had live entertainment that was great too. Go there if you can!

Our last night in Gulf Shores a group of us went to Lulu's, which is Jimmy Buffett's sister's restaurant. It was a ton of fun too. It had an atmosphere very similar to Margaritaville, but this had a huge outdoor section with picnic tables, volleyball courts, and everything. It was awesome. And of course I had a Cheeseburger in Paradise there...sooo good.

We had a great time!!

I'm Back!

Gosh, it's been a while! I didn't realize how long it has been since I've blogged. Whoops!

Nothing too exciting has been happening here. Preparing for my Spring Break next week! Gulf Shores-woo hoo! I'm very excited. Unfortunately for me though, teachers feel that before breaks they should always schedule more homework. Luckily, I don't have much after I get back from Spring Break which helps.

Wish I could stay and chat, but unfortunately I have a test to study for and a presentation to prepare for...all by tomorrow, along with working tonight.

Lovely weather.

Employment!

Well, I was pretty productive these past week and a half and I've secured a summer job! I will be a camp counselor in Pennsylvania for 7 weeks, teaching cooking. I'm really excited about it. It's one of those parent trap-style camps, which I've never been to. Except the one I'll be at has an ice skating rink...yes, an ice skating rink at a summer camp. If anyone knows of any good recipe websites let me know because I'm sure I'll be on the lookout for good recipes!

Not much other news, I've just been studying like crazy the past couple of weeks. It seems like it will never end. But, I like my classes so I guess that makes it a little easier. Right now I'm taking a break from studying for my American Revolution test that I have next Tuesday. Hopefully I can ace this one!

Little Cars Don't Like Snow

Well, my weekend was ended with an almost-bang. I went into work last night knowing that it was probably going to snow...but not expecting that it was going to cover the highway completely while I was working my 3 1/2 hour shift!! After work I made the journey ever so cautiously as I could back to school. However, I did have a very narrow miss along the way. As I said, the roads were completely covered, and I drive a Honda Civic. The cars in front of me were exiting and they were braking, unfortunately, my car wouldn't stop. I had to swerve to the left in order to avoid rear-ending the car in front of me! Well, when I swerved, my car fish tailed and I started sliding all over. Luckily, one of th connectors was right there between the two dual lanes, so I ended up on that rather than in the ditch! So lucky!

Other than that, I had a nice weekend at home. Watched the Olympics and had some much needed time with family. I also went and saw Valentine's Day with my sisters and we went to McDonald's for sundaes afterwards. It was fun!

Lots of homework this week so wish me luck!
