It's been forever since I've posted and I'm so sorry! Honestly, I kinda forgot about this and so I needed a little reminder to update you all on my life - so say thanks to Suzy!
Let's see.... so much to say!
Well, first off - I have four more classes left in this fall semester! Three tomorrow and one on Friday and then I'm DONE! (minus the massive amount of work between then and the end of finals) But no more classes will be so nice! Can't wait to have all day to go study at Kaldi's with Libby and to sleep in later, or stay up later... it's going to be lovely! (minus the fact that I have so much studying to do). I am honestly sooooooo ready to have this semester behind me. It's been a tough semester with classes that are very challenging and that I am not really interested in (cough cough Calc II and microecon). But I know that these two weeks are going to fly by and somehow I'll get everything done and then two weeks from today I'll be home with my family! Yeah!
Let's see... when I got back from break I had 12 big "things" ahead of me... 5 big assignments/projects, 3 papers and 4 finals = 12. Now I've just got 3 assignments/projects, 1 paper and 4 finals = just 8 things left! Mon-Wed of next week is reading week and so we don't have class and just have time to study. Then finals start on thursday and I've got one on every day... Thursday, Friday, Monday and Tuesday. Then a 7:55am flight outta here on Wednesday! Whew! Gonna be crazy!
So there's a catch up on what is still ahead of me... now for a recap of the last month or so...
Thanksgiving was SO SO SO SO GREAT! I was so happy to be able to go home and spend 6 days with my family and cook and eat and hang out and cook and eat somemore! Since most of you reading this were actually there, I'm not going to say much more about it...
OH. Forgot a MAJOR thing ahead of me. Imagine this... it's the Monday after Thanksgiving and you are sitting in Present Moral Problems class and taking notes and wishing it was lunchtime. Then... you check your phone (under the table of course) and see a new email from the golf captain. Cool! Probably about offseason practices for the week... You read about how she is going to sweat all the Thanksgiving food out of our bodies in the team workouts that week and then... you see the word "Disneyworld". What! Completely forgeting to continue taking notes, you skim the rest of the email and learn that the golf team is going to DISNEYWORLD for 5 days over CHRISTMAS BREAK. Say what?!
Now you can stop imagining... because that was what happened to me on the monday after thanksgiving! How fun is that going to be?! Andi's parents have a timeshare through Disney and are giving us the "points" so we are staying at Animal Kingdom (look it up it's INCREDIBLE - like giraffes grazing on the lawn outside our window kind of awesome) and spending a wonderful 5 days together at disney! So I'm going home for two weeks and then leaving will be in disneyworld from jan 5th-9th and then headed back to chicago with some of the girls to stay with them until we have to be back at school on the 12th.
So aside from that exciting news...
Um, I can't think of too much other stuff to say except that Libby and I have been cooking and baking a lot and are getting quite creative with the toaster oven and the stove top. We can make pretty much anything in our room now and so the best part of my week is definitely the nights we cook/bake together :D
And... I had to make a new cooking blog. The other one wouldn't let me upload more pictures, and what fun is a cooking blog without the pictures?! So I was able to easily import the old blog into a new hosting site and am working off of this new one. Check it out here: http://neverskipdessertbymackenzie.wordpress.com/
I plan on doing more with it soon but for now, I've got quite a bit of other stuff on my plate! It has made for a nice study break to go tweak things here and there :)
That's it for now!
Love, Mackenzie
