Failed attempts at cooking

I just attempted to make a baked potato. I overcooked the broccoli and what came out of the microwave looked like a small, brown, shriveled creature.

So, in lieu of that, I cut up some cheddar, and strawberries, and I have some great whole grain sesame crackers and a couple yeast rolls. Not an extremely diverse meal, but a tasty and pretty wholesome one nonetheless.

I am currently sitting on the couch, waiting for the Oscars, converting some video, and feeling a small sense of dread about the week ahead. Praying for motivation, courage, and a desire to work hard, instead of the small voice that always encourages me to take shortcuts.

everything is sunshine when you hold my hand...

Pippin helps me study sometimes. She's so dark you can only see her outline. hah.

I ganked some of my old music from my parents computer tonight. Hence the Hollies reference in my title.

I drove to Kalamazoo tonight for a few reasons. I hadn't seen my folks in a while, nor will I see them much in the coming weeks. I also needed to do laundry and pick up my car that was getting fixed. I also had to write an 800-word paper tonight, so I figured this would be a good place to do it. It's never completely necessary, but sometimes I freak out if I don't have internet while writing a paper. I have to double-check so many things online.

and it only took me three hours! So rock on. and I didn't even have to drink the emergency Red Bull I bought. Thank goodness. Those things are nasty.

I am not sure of the exact reasons, but I have felt so much more on top of things this semester. I mean, I still get stressed out, no doubt. But I seem to have a better grasp on what I can control and what I can't. Also, I just seem to be able to get things done. and sleep. Those were always tricky before.

Well, not an extremely profound post, but an update nonetheless.
