Tonight we did have raclette for dinner, and since our friend Lindsay's birthday is tomorrow, Dani brought over balloons to decorate our entryway and gummy alligators so we could make her an ice cream cake of sorts. It was pretty great.Midterms are looming this week, so I should be researching, but instead I'm complaining about my cold and reflecting. My ten-page paper about my internship got delayed until after break, so I can afford to slack a little bit. 6 weeks down and 8 to go, so not quite midway through the semester, but I think that after break everything really will seem to go by much faster. I keep wondering how I'm going to feel about going back to Vandy come December because some people are ready to get back already and others want to stay the rest of the year, even if they can't. In some ways, three and a half months seems too short, but I think it's going to be exactly what I needed. I feel like I was doing so many things--actually, most things--halfway last year, except I didn't really realize that until I was here, and even now I already feel much more ready to jump back into them and give it a better go. here's hoping. sorry for such a trippy post. blame it on the gummy alligators.
That cake looks straight nasty!
ReplyDeleteI've been forced to consume much worse concoctions, i.e. "orange juliuses"...
ReplyDeletethat cake was delicious I have to say. And I loved your last comment "blame it on the alligators" it reminds me of that song "blame it on the a-a-a-alochol. So I had to sit here and try it out: "blame it on the a-a-a-a-a-alligators."
ReplyDeletehaha :D I hope you're having fun on your adventures already! I'm trying to start my day and its now 1pm. AH.
Orange Julii (the plural form) are a delicious and healthy treat for rambunxious youngsters!
