When I made my first girlish attempt at higher education the semesters just dragged by. I felt like three months was a lifetime, and the time between semesters was just a blink of your eye. Now that I am older I find that all time, no matter what I am doing, goes by in the [...]

Grades come out this week at school. They are posted tomorrow the be precise. I am having a hard time waiting because, and this is typical of me, I am impatient. I am the girl standing in front of the microwave willing the pop corm to pop faster … or conversely scavenging for crackers because [...]

Last week we made cakes, and I did not remember to take any pics!!! The good news is we are decorating the cakes this Saturday so I will get to take my pics then. Cakes are pretty easy for me, in general, but our teams angel food cakes fell in the oven. Our teacher said [...]

I got 107 on my mid-term. WOW, eh? I got a lot of points for the extra credit she offered, and that saved my bacon! We made tarts, puff pastry dough and pate a choux (like cream puffs and eclairs) in class Saturday, but I did not get any pics this week. (I know, naughty!) [...]

And I got a 150 out of 150 for my cookies and corn muffins. WHEW!!! It went way better than I could have hoped! Nerves aside, it was pretty easy to get my focus. I did one thing at a time, and I took my time (but, neither took that long) and it paid off! [...]

I am really nervous about my mid-term practical tomorrow. I should not be, but I am. This week I have practiced my cookies and corn muffins. The cookies turned out ok but I feel they spread too much. The corn muffins were lovely. So, if you read this before 12pm tomorrow please think good thoughts [...]
