I remember posting about all of the different road construction that was going on downtown on 5th street. The hill was closed for a few months and has finally been reopened! This is great because now that the hill is open, there were now be an easier way for me to get from my dorm to campus once again. So I must admit that it feels good that it is so close to becoming the end of the semester. I wish everyone good luck on finals! :) yay tests!

Well, here I am. Sitting in the sub because I am far to tired to travel all the way to the dorm just to write a blog. This semseter is finally almost over and that makes me extremley happy because that just means that Christmas break is right around the corner. And that is good news. I have turned in my final 12 page paper for my English class and can gladly say that I got an A. I am teaching my mini lesson for this class then I am done. I am going to turn in a paper for my other reading class and then read one more book for that class and then im done :) Science is just more lectures then a concept map, then I'm done. As far as math is concerned, I have a C in that class... I have one more test, then the final and hopefully I can pass. :) keeping my fingers crossed that I can make it with all passing grades. I just want this semseter to end as it has been pretty busy and not so good. I also hope that everyone has a great Break!

Sometimes I wish I had the ability to kill math. I mean seriously, whoever decided that math is important just needs to get their priorities straight. I would much rather work with English all the time then do math... who needs to put numbers with letters.... its useless. And now I am done rambling about math, and should probably get back to my math homework. Yes, that is what I will do...  My boyfriend just pointed out that I hate word problems, this is true. That is because putting sentences with math is pretty much... LAME.

Well it has been a while since I posted anything. I feel like time is not on my side lately. I never have time for anything. Which makes getting my homework done almost impossible. This semester just needs to end. NOW.
Thanksgiving break was great but not nearly long enough. I had to work until the day before Thanksgiving so I was stuck in Lewiston till Wednesday morning. In that time that I had to stay in town, a fire occurred downtown. Since there is a lot of construction going on, a worker struck a gas line and caused an explosion. And since I live right on Main street, the dorm got evacuated in case of a gas leak.
 I left for Boise that Wednesday on a very long bus ride. Then when I got into Boise I stayed with my mom. Thursday was a very relaxing day and I enjoyed spending the whole day with my family. Happy late Thanksgiving everyone! :) Friday I spent 5 hours with my best friend, Terry, disc golfing. Good times. I love disc golf. Saturday, I went out to breakfast with my dad and then spent time doing homework until Saturday night when my mom, my step dad, my sister, her husband, Terry, and I all went to see Breaking Dawn part 2. It was great. I really enjoyed it. After the movie, we went to dinner. A very late dinner at 10 PM. Then went home by midnight and packed to get on the bus back here to Lewiston Sunday morning. At 7:20 AM the bus departed. It was a completely packed bus and was very uncomfortable. But here I am. Back in town and doing homework again non stop.... ugh welcome to college.

I cannot express how excited I am that it is almost thanksgiving break. I feel as though time has flown by this semester. I mean, I have been so busy that time is vanishing before my eyes. I am all registered for next semester but I am worried that my math grade will not be up to par. I have worked really hard yet everything that is on the study guides is not on the test... hmmmm. I hope that changes soon. Have a great Thanksgiving break! :)

Well everyone is writing poems, I am staring at my computer screen thinking of what to write and listening to music. I am not a poet. But earlier today I had an urge to do something that used to be a favorite thing of mine to do. So I did it. I played my viola. I have been playing since I was in 5th grade. So I have been playing for 11 years. I hadn't played it in a long time so I first I needed to tune it. I love feeling the strength of the strings beneath my fingers. I love hearing the music that I can make with it. Not very many people can appreciate classical music. I can.

So I went up to Moscow this weekend, and it was soo much fun. Stayed with my boyfriend and played disc golf a lot. Then of course we had to make a cake and a fabulous dinner. Tonight I am going to share with you how to make a "Better than sex cake" and some delicious risotto.

BETTER THAN SEX CAKE
 
Ingredients: German chocolate cake mix, (Then the ingredients for that cake) 1 can on sweetened condensed milk, 1 can of Mrs. Richardson's butterscotch caramel. Tub of whip cream. 2 skor bars.

1.) Bake the German chocolate cake.
2.) Once the cake is cooked, and still warm poke holes in the cake and spread sweetened milk over the top.
3.) Then spread the caramel evenly.
4.) Spread cool whip evenly over the top.
5.) Crush skor bars, and then spread on top.

There ya have it :) Some yummy cake.

DELICIOUS RISOTTO.

Ingredients:  corn kernels, asparagus, chopped onion, chicken broth, white rice, olive oil. (Measurements vary. 1 cup of rice is plenty for 3 people, for 1 cup of rice, 2 cans of chicken broth.)

1.)Heat up the pan with the olive oil. (Use at least 3 tablespoons of olive oil)
2.) Saute the chopped onions.
3.) Mix the white rice in with the onions and the oil.
4.) Add 1/3 cup chicken broth at a time, the trick here is to keep stirring. Once that 1/3 cup is aborted by the rice, add another and so on until the rice has absorbed all the chicken broth that it can.
5.) add the corn and the chopped asparagus, when the rice is about halfway cooked.

Enjoy :)
