I finished my classes for the semester today. At this point, there is really very little to do but Totally Freak Out About Finals. Yeah, anyway.
Discoveries I have made this semester:
- I really like to cook. Who knew? Since moving into an apartment and doing my own making-of-money-with-which-I-feed-myself, planning meals, gwocery shopping and (oh yeah) cooking, I have discovered that it's rather enjoyable. I am getting better at it as time passes by. Favorites of the semester: Mom's spaghetti [sauce] recipe, slow-cooked Memphis BBQ, potato-bean-and-carrot-and-beef stew (better name for it?) and Paula Deen's punkin pie.
- Christ really does live and love me. I took New Testament, and as it turns out, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John helped me get to know my Savior a lot better than I ever did before. He knows my name; He knows my heart; He has been waiting for me.
- U.S. History can basically be told as an ever-newly nuanced epic of property, independence, race, and gender. And also, Lincoln wasn't all that keen on the emancipation boat in 1860. Huh.
- I like working in the Creamery WAY better than working in the Cannon.
- S'mores cupcakes at the Cocoa Bean aren't all that awesome...
- I stay up too late.
Also, a great huge shout-out to Ev-dawg, who passed his MPO this week and is now a certified engine driver! I'm so proud of you, Ev. You set your sights on something and you refused to give up till you got there. Catch a fire soon :]
With love,
TBF
