Exams

It's that time of year for college students everywhere: Exam week!
Some are done already, luck souls, and some are just entering the week. Me, I'm in that second category.
Through a lucky combination of classes, I have but one exam: Atypical Child Psychology. Still this is a dreaded exam that covers a wide range of material, and I have had the most difficult time focusing on studying. I think it's harder to focus when you only have one exam, and then you are done. Freedom is so sweet, so close you can taste it, and the only thing that stands in the way seems negligible.
Well, I should get back to studying, but when the week is over, I should have some wonderful pictures for you and a few stories to go along with them.

Deviantly Artistic

I've been spending a little more time on my deviantART account lately.
For those of you who may not know, deviantART is a sight where artists can post their work of all kinds, network with one another, and even sell prints of their pieces.

I created an account only just last April, but I have a few pieces up and have made a few connections with other artists.

[Sunny Side...a photo-manipulation]

My favorite photos are posted in my deviantART gallery, if anyone would care to take a look.
I do my best with y photos, but lack a good photo manipulation program, so all of the photo pieces are pretty much straight from the camera. There are a few photo-manipulation pieces up there as well. These are pieces I created while in a computer imaging course.

So if you like the photos you see in this blog, check out my deviantART gallery!

Recipe Hunting

Here I am at work, and I start to get a hankering for baking. So where do I go? Well, actually, I headed to marthastewart.com. I don't know how I feel about Martha herself, but I do enjoy looking at her "Cookie of the Day" page.

I went hunting and pecking through previous cookies of the day until I found this recipe:
Butter cookie sandwiches with chestnut cream
Oh! Delicious!


Now my mouth is watering for not just these beautiful babies, but for most of the cookies on the site. My hands are ready to start stirring, rolling, cutting, glazing, and more. I wish I had the time to try out all of these recipes...
