I have most recently become OBSESSED with these. They are Grandma's Homestyle Fudge Chocolate Chip Cookies - and they come in a 2-pack :) This little softy, chewy bundle of taste-bud pleasing happiness is only $.50 from the vending machines on campus. That's right folks, FIFTY CENTS. It's a 310 calorie package of wonderfulness and I may or may not have had them for breakfast today. It was coupled with an apple, so I feel alright about it.But, just for a quick update, in 22 days I am jumping on a plane and going here:
...and here:
...and here:
I know, be jealous. :) But don't you fear, this will not be vacation time. Well, at least not ONLY vacation time. I will be spending roughly 20 hours a week volunteering with underprivileged youth, teaching them English so they can land jobs in the tourism sector and raise themselves out of poverty. I'm really excited for it. Also, lest you fear I'll get bored down there, I'm still working - coding for Womanstats. It'll be nice to have some source of income at least.
So you all know, I plan on blogging while I'm there. And probably changing this layout, because, frankly, it sucks and is ugly. It's a bit of an eye sore and you shouldn't have to look at it.
I'm feeling a little odd right now. The last 2 or 3 days have been super focused and super busy - 2 midterms, a paper, work, running, dates with friends - it's been crazy. And now I don't technically have anything due for the next 3 days (aside from working stuff that's not scheduled to be done until Sunday/Monday) I'm feeling very free for the day. Which is good, because I've got work, then a party with some friends from work, and then a much needed (and highly anticipated) playday up in Salt Lake with the symphony that night. I'm really excited for it and it will be nice to do that stuff without thinking about the things I need to be getting done - because everything that needs to be accomplished is already scheduled to be done at a later time. It's a rare feeling for me so I plan to treasure it and milk it for all it's worth.
Toodles!
