French Fried But Done

Hey Bloggies and Blogettes!

I’m alive!! I did survive! Hee hee rhymes.

Sorry for falling off the face of the blogworld. As I whined announced on Twitter, I started my accounting exam last night at 6:30pm and the professor shooed us out at 10:30pm. After 4 hours, I still wasn’t finished! I felt like I was drunk by the end. I studied ALL day long and by the time I walked out, my brain was french fried!

I then woke up this morning and busted out an 8 page paper due by 5pm! Don’t you college grads miss this life?

Anyways. I’m done I’m done, it’s time for fun, I just might bake a bun!! Dang, I’m on a roll with these rhymes :)

~~~~~~~~~~

I only have a few photos to show ya. To tell you the truth, I forgot they were even on my camera. I’ve eaten 5 english muffins and 4 bananas this past week. Obviously, I’ve eaten other food but just tellin’ ya how repetitive/boring my consumption has been.

This is what I found on my camera. I feel like these are months old, but in reality, they are only 2 days old!

Spaghetti squash w/ thawed frozen spinach, carrots, marinara sauce and parmesan cheese.

This is what stress looks like. Glad I’m done with that!!

Then, the combos of ALLLLL combos: Cranberry Creme Brulee Kefir with….

TJ’s Tart Frozen Yogurt and Graham Crackers. Trust me when I say it was **magical**.

Tonight will be devoted to:

  • Cleaning up the pig sty that is my room
  • Packing for a month at home!!!
  • Catching up on ALL your blogs
  • Rechecking all my email because I’ve been putting those off all week–yikes!

Tomorrow morning, I’m driving home. You know what that means…

Pumpkin spice here I COME!! (it’s my treat for the boring drive!)

You are lucky to be done with finals so soon! I won’t be out of school until 3:00 pm on the 18th!

Don’t worry about not posting for 2 days. We did miss you and glad you are back, but sometimes life can get really hectic. There’s no need to create more stress for yourself. :) (Whew, I need to tell that to myself more often!)

You lucky duck! I have finals all the way through finals of next week :( Who has finals on the last day?

If I drank pumpkin spice latte while I was driving, I wouldn’t mind the long ride either ;)

I am still so incredibly jealous of that Kefir. Seriously, WHY does the nearest Whole Foods have to be in another state? Lamest.thing.ever.

Allie, I just really enjoy your blog, its terrific! I love your pictures.
I think I am the only person left to have never had spaghetti squash. I need to try the buttercup and butternut first since I have them bought.
Its funny, sometimes I wish I were in college. But there are definitely the downs like what you mentioned. I hope you finally have some fun and relaxation soon :)
