Fancy desserts

Lately I have been in the mood to bake desserts. not just any desserts though I want them to look fancy. the only dessert I can find that looks fancy without having strange ingredients in them that I have found are tarts. so I have been making lots of tarts and today I want to make a chocolate peanut butter one. Do you know of any fancy desserts that I could make?

Everybody is packing up their stuff and leaving to go home. It is sad and happy and exciting...

Beautiful

I hate colds because

You aren't sick enough to just lay in bed but that is what you want to do.
You feel like you should be doing something other then siting around but when you try you don't have enough energy.
Your muscles make you feel like you have a small fever but you don't.
It is always worse the second day instead of better.
You aren't sick enough for people to bring you food so you still have to walk across campus to eat.
You feel like a wimp using it as an excuse not to do stuff with other people.

I like colds because
My nose doesn't run as much as normal

Amazing!

Today the weather outside was so beautiful and warm but not hot. It was amazing! So of course I couldn't spend the day siting inside doing homework even though I actually had some to do(which is all now done) so I borrowed a friends bike and went and rode it around. (I would've ridden my scooter but my back wheel has decided it doesn't want to be straight and therefore it is more work to ride my scooter then it is to walk.) I went down this road that is kind of by the park (don't worry mom and dad because it was totally safe and close to town and all that). The view was amazing! There were all these open fields where corn used to be and then random green ones and there were beautiful houses and barns and it was so BEAUTIFUL! There was also this stream that went under the road and it was so pretty!! I didn't want to come back! It was so wide open and there wasn't a ton of people around or cars and it was just amazing!! I am SO glad God thought to make scenery like that!

jumping jacks

If you do 300 jumping jacks a day then it will stretch a lot of your muscles and will give you some exercise and it is really easy. It would be too intimidating to do 300 at once so you do 100 (which is pretty easy) then you wait about ten minutes and do another 100 and then wait about ten more minutes and then do another 100 and there you go! It is a really nice homework break! If you feel like this is super easy then try doing 200 in a row and 600 a day.

I have the coolest friends

For my birthday my friend gave me these awesome bottles. It wouldn't be so cool but a few weeks ago I had showed her a picture of some similar bottles and had said that someday I was going to get bottles just like those and take pictures of them. I had no idea it would be so soon. But yesterday she surprised me on my birthday and gave me some just like I wanted!! :)

happy days

This week there are three holidays pi day, Saint Patrick's day and........

MY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!

So I was having a conversation with myself and it went something like this:
Hi! How are you?
I'm fine but I'm kind of bored and don't want to do anymore homework.
Well you should do what everybody else does when they are avoiding homework!
What is that?
They stack $21.00 of quarters!
Oh that sounds like a good idea I should try that!

So I did.







For those who were wondering that is 84 quarters.

true life storys

All semester I have been reading my scantrons wrong and when I thought I was failing all of my tests I was really passing them all. getting C's in two and getting B's in two.

I was super bored today so I practiced my mad, nonexistent juggling skills.

It was supposed to snow this morning but it didn't. it only rained. It is really strange to get up at 7:30 and leave for class while it is still dark. But I guess it won't be like that much longer because of daylight savings time ending in two days.

We had a fire drill in our dorm last night and the alarm is SUPER loud and annoying. I got out before three min's passed so I didn't have to pay $50.

I made a tent by hanging a sheet over my closet just to see what it would be like.

I was writing notes from different sources for my composition class and I didn't think I had to turn them in we would just have to take them to class. When I was writing them I accidently hit this button / but it looked gray for some reason so i put, "Why was it all grey? /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////I don’t know!"
and left it on there when I printed the notes out to take to class. At the last min. our teacher decided we should turn in our notes. So I turned in all my notes. I am curious to see if she will say anything about them.
