It seems like these weeks are busier and busier. I'm not sure if I can say they actually go by faster, but I guess it seems that way since I am never bored. With taking 18 hours, I have had to get strategic with making homework fun, since it's all I ever seem to do. I now bake and have an excuse and call it homework. Yesterday I even went to Gloria's for happy hour and used it for my observational research project.
I wish I could say I was joking. My teacher told us to go somewhere and do observational research and gain some insights. Well, Gloria's ended up working out and I just HAD to have a strawberry margarita so I would fit in with everyone else and not look so suspicious as I wrote notes down about each table and what they were wearing and what they ordered. I even kept my super tacky sunglasses on (which I usually only wear in the car) so that I wouldn't look so creepy staring at people for so long. An hour was as long as I could stay for though because every time the waitress came over she would stare longer and longer at my notes that I was taking about all her other tables.
After the margarita, it was time to think about how I would be spending the rest of my night. Homework didn't sound very appealing. Plus, the Britney Spears episode of Glee was on. I really wanted to just make it an entire tv night and just lay on the couch but my conscious was being a pest so I decided it would be my baking night. Lindsey was craving Rice Krispie Treats which worked for me because it's quick and easy to make. Plus, combining two childhood favorites (Rice Krispie treats AND Britney Spears) was just awesome.
I wish there was a lot to say on the actually baking process but it was over so fast. The dishes literally took longer than the actual baking. You pour the Rice Kripsies, melt the butter and marsh mellows and then combine them together. For being so easy though, they were so delicious. I even made an improvement from high school and actually let them set into bars. Usually my friends and I would just use spoons and eat them out of the bowl we stirred them in. Yep, I know...super classy.
They ended up being so delicious and paired with the "Hit Me Baby One More Time" dance, I was a very happy camper. Plus, with having something so gooey and yummy like Rice Krispie treats, I was in less of a bad mood when it came time for me to actually do my homework. AND, I now have half a box of cereal to eat for breakfast. That's what I can a win win situation.
