Life is so hectic.
I can barely breathe.
I did get a plant though. Cute purple campanulas.
Can't even wrap my head around all I need to do.
Will write more later. -
not so rah.
I've been a bit tail-between-the-legs since the GREs. Did better than I thought I ever would on the math but piss poor on the verbal.
That's a retake for me I guess. I'm guessing November first. That should be enough time to drown my sorrows then hit the flashcards and workbooks.
So, back to school in two days. RA training starts and life will ( Read more... ) -

Everything but the Kitchen Sink Cookies
or
Chocolate Cherry Walnut Oatmeal Cookies
I found a recipe for raisin oatmeal cookies on a back of this big box of oatmeal and decided- hey, I could go for some. Unfortunately, I had about half of the ingredients and a lot of other ingredients. So, I sort of made my own type using the original as a base.

“Why don’t you send me a bill?”
“It would beggar you,” Radnor assured him with raw contempt.
“Send it anyway,” Nick invited gently. “I’ll be interested to learn the cost of creating someone.”
7 more days until Latin is finally over. Whew! I hope I can pass, erk.
