hello. this is me pretending to do homework.
school is ok so far. my teachers are good and playing the accompaniment for choir is a ton of fun! since all my other classes are science and a mix of online and in-class, every day is different (sometimes lecture, sometimes lab, sometimes home super early) and since I love variety this is a very good thing.
however, since all my other classes are science, I am extremely busy with homework. but it's mostly reading and studying, which for me is less time-consuming than lots of writing. though not as much fun. but less time-consuming is more important right now, because I'm working a lot.
I have the same teacher for botany and biology. I keep getting assignments and due dates between the two classes mixed up. my teacher is Indian and she's pretty cool. I also have a friend in my bio class from my Shakespeare class last year, a really sweet Christian girl. unfortunately we have different lab days, but we sit together during lecture.
right now I ought to be working on geography. I have to do an assignment on what plagiarism is and why it's evil. boooorrrring. and then I have to study all the stuff I didn't quite grasp from the chapter (which is most of it....40-page super-boring introductory chapter - what the heck?), and then I have to write stuff about Auburn and give geographical terms for it, and then I have to do a quiz. which thankfully got bumped to being due Sunday instead of tonight because it wasn't working online.
so now I am procrastinating even more.
Autumn is here and I am so freaking excited!!!!!!! a mixture of the change in the weather and pms has me thinking about fall food nonstop. like, everything with pumpkin. or bakes apples with cinnamon and nutmeg. little mini pumpkins used as serving dishes for hot cinnamon applesauce. gingerbread waffles (whoever came up with this has my undying devotion). pumpkin tomato basil soup. something that incorporates cranberries and smoked gouda cheese. artichokes with pomegranate hollandaise sauce. this list is nearly endless. I will probably be baking in my every spare minute (as in, after I finish homework. if I ever finish homework) and then I will take pictures and post recipes and fabulous things like that.
tonight my dad and I are on our own for dinner. we have some trout that he's going to bake in foil, and we're either going to do sauteed mushrooms or a grapefruit sauce over the top, with couscous on the side. I am very excited. :)
one last thing, and then I'll really do schoolwork. really. this morning I tried a new recipe for Nutella hot chocolate (yes, really!). And it's super easy, so you should all rush out and buy Nutella if you don't have any at home (and shame on you if you don't already have a supply of it), and then make this:
1 cup milk
3 T Nutella
1 t cocoa powder
Put the milk and Nutella in a saucepan and whisk together while heating slowly (it won't mix at first but as the Nutella melts and becomes more liquidy it will incorporate nicely; just keep whisking gently). Add the cocoa powder and heat until steaming hot.
It's thick and hazelnutty and absolutely fabulous. Not to mention fast and easy. I want to try it again with some cinnamon (just a touch) and get some whipped cream too. :) Happiness you can drink!
