This is so cool!!!!
I just got my grades from school. Remember one of my resolutions was to raise my GPA? Well, baby, I did it!!! I got an A in my International Law class, and it brought my GPA up to a 3.5!!!! Yippee!!! I'm so freakin' psyched! Seriously, I rocked it hardcore this semester. I owe so much to the guys who inspired me and pushed me in the classroom. And to a truly amazing professor who saw potential in me and encouraged me to do more and work harder. And of course, to me as well. While they were the inspiration, I'm the one who put in all the hard work! Ya-freaking-hoo! A 3.5!!!! Now comes the really hard part, continuing to improve it so that I can possibly get that elusive 4.0 to get the cum laude on the diploma...

Vacation Day 8
Today was fun. Preschool Queen and I had lunch and went shopping like we usually do on Sundays. It was fun. The waiter who flirts with me was at Applebee's and so that's always an ego boost. Got some beautiful new clothes (again) at Express. Love that store! Of course, now it's time to be quiet with the money...
Just got off Skype with Lead Momma and PQ! So proud of her for trying the IM thing! Way to go PQ! Homer says that this is going to be the beginning of her downward spiral...(lol) Anyway, I was skyping with the two of them, eating dinner, watching HP and emailing a friend from class. Phew! Talk about multitasking! Of course now, I'll never get anything done with the two of them online, too...
So, tomorrow is pretty much it for my vacation. Last day. I have just a few things to do, but otherwise it'll just be a quiet day around the house. Laundry and that's about it. Oh, homework of course... such fun that is!

Vacation Day 7
Ahhh... back to the routine of homework. *sigh. I've been reading for the last few hours. At least with this stuff it seems to be an easier read than last semester's work. Maybe more intuitive? I'm not sure, but the articles have been pretty easy to get through. One can only hope that this pattern will continue!
So, good news, the friend I was worried about skyped me last night. I was right, things aren't great, but I think just talking may have helped a bit. I hope so, at least. We didn't laugh quite as much as we usually do, but hopefully the conversation took his mind off things for a little while.
Today has been nice. Other than doing homework, I talked with Mom... which I haven't done in a while. She was telling me about the projects that they have planned for around the house once spring is finally here. Sounds like they'll be busy! And I did some more baking. Banana nut muffins that are so tender they just melt in your mouth. I'm rather proud of these to be honest! It's a new recipe that I altered a bit, but what great results! Certainly one I'll use again and again... I'm thinking that maybe dates and walnuts would be a neat mix, too. Maybe adding oats to the recipe too. (I'm envisioning something that's similar to these date nut bars that my Mom used to make at Christmas time when I was little, but in a muffin form) And I made my Mexican lasagna... it's a bad name for it, because it's only Mexican in the sense that it has salsa and tortillas in it, but I don't know what else to call it. I use flour tortillas instead of noodles and salsa instead of marinara sauce. And then layer them both with ground turkey and refried beans and shredded cheddar. It's one of my favorites. In fact, it's one of the few meals that I'll eat the leftovers of. Another quirky thing about me, there are very few meals that I actually want to eat again after making it. (this can be quite frustrating for me since I live alone and cooking for one is not something I've mastered.) I think this is probably why I tend to eat a lot of grilled cheeses and cereal!
Oh and the brownies last night came out wonderfully. Dark chocolate with chips and walnuts... I made them in the muffin pan so that each one was individual and then frosted them with chocolate buttercream... Yummy! All from scratch, of course. I was inspired I guess! Anyway, they came out great. Certainly something I'll have to make again soon!
