I am happy to say that I survived my finals! My grades coming in are looking good, and I even managed to do pretty well in Biopsych--I feel like I conquered something!
Anyways, my spring break has been full of seeing old friends, family time, relaxing, and catching up on some guilty pleasure TV (Sex and the City is playing as I type this). So it isn't that different from winter break I guess! I'm saving all my Fabulous Vacation money for summer :) and there is another thing I'm excited about during this break: cooking!
I've always appreciated cooking, but I've never been able to grasp the ability to do it myself--but I just have this strong desire to learn how to cook this week! I think I've been inspired by Julie & Julia (such a good movie, I've been watching it on a weekly basis!). I've been reading recipies, watching Food Network, and trying some things out: I've made some really good grilled cheese sandwiches (I know, don't judge, I'm going to try to make some "gourmet" ones too), last night I made Pasta Primavera with vegetables, Philadelphia cooking cream, and chicken, and today I made cookies and cream peanut butter!
On Friday I'm looking forward to making baked mac & cheese and dessert with my friend Alyssa, and I'm also hoping to make some light fettucinni alfredo, beef bourginon, and some homemade dog biscuits (for Lady and Sally, of course!)
Also, I'm SO READY for some spring weather!!

Winter Quarter Wrap-Up
Hi everyone! Things have been so busy lately, and I just haven't been able to find the time to blog! And this week has been the longest week of all: Dead Week, the week right before finals where everything hits crunch time and it's time to put in all that studying you've been putting off. So naturally, I'm putting off studying to blog :) I can't WAIT to be done with this quarter!
This quarter has been kind of a dreary one--the winter has seemed really long, cold and rainy. I'm getting really excited for spring and (fingers crossed!) better weather. I'm also excited because this quarter, I officially declared my major (English) and minor (Education) and I plan on becoming a kindergarten/1-3 grade teacher! I'm also looking around for another job for my Disney off-days, and it's kind of frustrating but also exciting.
AND I got into the London Study-Abroad program! I'm so excited and I can't believe it: I'll believe it when I get on the plane! It isn't until late summer/early fall so I have plenty of time to prepare myself (and raise money!).
I can't wait for this hectic week to be over: today I lost my housekey (but then found it two hours later, thank goodness), and my computer has stopped holding a charge--what?? I better go and get working on my to-do list...before we know it, it will be SPRING BREAK! :)
Love,
Malia
