I got a grill the other day, so we had hamburgers on the balcony. Things went smoothly for the most part, a slice of cheese fell into the coals when I tried melting it on a patty and we had one casualty fall onto the ground (no worries, I placed it back on the grill), but other than that, it was lots of fun ( Read more... )

My finals are graded and put in the grade book! I've dreamt of this moment for the last month now: my summer has arrived! No more thinking about school for a very long time ( Read more... )

I'm so happy that school is over. All I have left is to grade final exams and I'm done. As for the summer, I'm not thinking too far ahead. I want to at least enjoy my free time for a couple of weeks before I even consider getting a job or doing anything serious. I have plans of painting, reading, and perhaps getting back into shape.

Even though he's a religious studies professor, Dr. Nava was ( Read more... )

I'm a little behind with this news. I'll start with the update. The past week and a half has been quite busy and fast-paced. I've been in negotiations in finally trying to get a car. My parents (well, my step-mother), has offered to pay for the down payment. My dad pretty much instructed me on everything I could possibly know about purchasing ( Read more... )

After a week spent with Shane (greatly needed and greatly appreciated), in between bouts of mad studying, today has been very odd. I finally got Ally, but I realized it only works on my computer (grrrr). The weather lately has been uncharacteristic: windy, wet, and cold. It's the start of my Spring Break, but Shane's departure has kinda left us ( Read more... )

Yesterday I learned that I passed my Qualifiers! Yippee ( Read more... )
