Just one more week. Just one.
Although this semester is coming to a close and Rebecca has two of her three finals first thing Monday morning, the next worst thing is MFA applications for me, for which I feel completely unprepared and overwhelmed by the competition I'm up against. I'm applying to seven schools; honestly, I don't expect to get into any. read more »
Classes officially ended today, and I just turned in my last class project (yay for being able to just email in the final report). I'm very excited to be done with the hard part. Now I just have finals left. :)
We're going to celebrate by going to see Brothers Grimm again tonight, before it leaves the dollar theater. Studying for finals can wait until tomorrow.
Yay! Celebrate!!
I'm not going to lie to you: this book is the Cinderella story. However, unlike the Robin McKinley books, I completely forgot this fact for MOST of the book. That's a sign of a good author. read more »
We can't think of anything we did this week. At all. :) I mean, besides work and school, of course. We even worked on class projects and my thesis proposal on Friday night, which is usually date night. Oh, we rented Madagascar and watched that, but we were working on other things while we watched. But the good news is, we're almost done with the semester! Yay! We've almost officially survived. For what that's worth. read more »
Sundays are such great days. I really love them. I feel so rejuvinated after a good Sunday.
Two more weeks of school. I don't know how we're going to finish what we need to in that time, but at least then it will be over and we can look back at everything, instead of feeling its weight on our shoulders. read more »

This week we've worked on survival. For today, we each prepared a lesson for our classes and a talk for Sacrament meeting, and were glad to hear they didn't need us to speak in the East Lake care center after all. I guess they have a branch in the local care center, and each ward in the stake alternates who is responsible for providing people to talk, pass the sacrament, and help the folks to the meeting room (down the hall from all of their rooms). They had booked two sets of speakers accidentally, so I just attended with the young women and got to listen. read more »
chicken tortilla soup
1 can chicken broth
1 can black beans
1 1/2 cups picsweet frozen corn
1 1/2 cups chopped tomatoes
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 large clove garlic, minced
taco seasoning to taste
Put all the ingredients together in a pot and warm on the stove. While this is warming, make some homemade chips (these are the best!).
3 TBS oil
15 corn tortillas
Chop or tear up a stack of 15+ corn tortillas, and fry them in hot oil. Once they start to turn brown, put them onto a paper towel to soak up the oil. Season with salt to taste. Make however many of these you want. Rebecca likes to snitch mine. :)
Put the soup in a bowl and top with sour cream, cheese and the chips.
