Trying to find things to do in the middle of nowhere.

Sickness
Last week of school coming up, and you know what? I'm sick.  Disgustingly sick.  My friend B. was courteous enough to share this wonderful virus with me earlier this week.  So I have spent more time in my shower than doing anything productive. Not that being productive necessarily matters.  I'm failing my math based classes.  Which happens to be over half my classes.  Woot.
M. and I got more cupcakes today!  Now we are watching House.  Greaaaaat weekend.  We are hoping to have Cinnamon Roll Sunday this weekend.  It's one of my favorite days of the week!  Although this time, I don't think I shall be making them.  Usually I make the cinnamon rolls, but since i am sick I don't think that would be very kind to my roommates and anyone else who may partake of the cinnamon rolls.
Three weeks till I go to Europe!!

There are only 17 days left of this semester.  Then two weeks.  Then Europe. I can't wait!
The snow has finally begun to disappear.  There is still the occasional attack of snow, but it no longer has the will to stick to the ground.  The rain is a nice change for once. But the sun!  How I have missed the sun!  It is the most beautiful object in all of life.  Can one think of a more delightful cause for being? Everything in this world is predicated on the sun: plants, humanity, poetry, the orbit, etc.  It's wonderful.
My birthday has come and gone.  I spent the weekend in a Real City with a Real Mall and had a wonderful time shopping among the civilized.  I also had the opportunity to attend my cousin's wedding.  I feel like everywhere I go lately, all I hear is about marriage.  It must be the season.  Or perhaps it is also my current location... Or both.
We went to the "hot springs" for S.'s birthday.  We were so excited until we discovered the exaggeration of their use of the term "hot spring."  It was more a dirty, disease spreading indoor pool and hot tub.  I do not even want to know the awful things I encountered in my stay in that pool.  It was frightening.  Nonetheless!  We had a lot of fun.  We have also made a goal to go to the real hot springs.
This week I have made a goal to not visit Tumblr, fashion blogs, or lookbook.nu.  So far so good.  It's a lot more difficult than I thought it would be.
This weekend is the Hindu holy day of Holi. They have a tradition called the Festival of Colors.  Many of my friends are planning on taking the trip to attend and I so badly want to go!  However, due to the fact that I have taken way to many weekend trips, I think it would be ill advised of me to go.  I have essays (plural) to write in the next 2 weeks and I have yet to begin any of them.
Off topic, but I highly recommend the Silent Planet series by C.S. Lewis.
Anyway.  I have to go attack some homework.

Civilization
Tonight I will be making a spur of the moment (well, as spur of the moment as I get) trip home!  Going on a 14 hour drive with my friends.  Can't wait!  Snacks, music, car sickness-- the whole deal.  This weekend is going to be flurry of happiness and things to do! 
Civilization.... I miss you...

Bummer Dude.
Today was the much looked forward to Chocolate Party.  I'm sure you envisioned chocolate fountains and free massages galore, with a separate room filled with people attempting to mate on the dance floor.  Unfortunately, it was quite a disappointment.  Chocolate?  Gone within the first hour.  Massages?  No where to be found.  Mating on the dance floor?  Sparingly.  The dance was an odd combination of an awkward, conservative middle school dance and a typical slut filled orgy.  It was not a good combination.  We are talking awful music and people awkwardly standing around.  All in all, this party was a great disappointment.
However!  Last night M., B., and our new friend A. went to Never Say Never.  I was not expecting much out of a documentary about a YouTube sensation.  This movie, however, exceeded my expectations!  It was well made and was very inspirational.  I realized while watching it that Jaden Smith is so cool!  I totally support his ascension to stardom.
Tomorrow is church.  I am going to wear my new long, mesh skirt.  I'm really excited.

P.S. Check out my Tumblr.

Weekend/Past Few Days
Today, I sent off a Valentine's Day package to my friend on a mission.  It was so fun to make!  My roommate H. and I went to the store and bought all sorts of wonderful things to put in it.  Mostly candy, but candy is wondeful in it's own way. 
Tomorrow B., K., M., and I are going to go see Justin Bieber's movie Never Say Never!  Immature?  Possible.  Slaves to pop culture?  Even more so.  The midnight showings were all sold out around us, so that is why we are seeing it tomorrow rather than tonight.

This weekend, we are going to the Chocolate Party.  Hopefully it will be good.  You never know till it happens.  Free massages, chocolate fountain, and dance party?  Sounds totally promising.  We shall see.
Next weekend, we may all take a road trip home for the three day weekend.  I really want to go!  So hopefully our plans workout.

Off to the "Big City"
We are off to our nearby "Big City."  That may be a bit of an exaggeration.  However, we are so excited!  We are going to get coffee (which there is an extreme dearth of in my very conservative town) and steak!  We are going to go shopping at a mall.  It is a very small mall but a mall nonetheless.  So stoked.  Yoga pants here i come! 
I am not driving.  My roommate M. is driving.  For some reason they never let me drive.  They have never seen me drive, so they can't fear the skills they don't know I have.  However, perhaps it is their fear of the unknown... hmmmm....
Today I had to take a test.  It closed at 2.  I arrived to take it at 3.  Problem?  I think so.  After emailing my teacher she finally opened it up for me.  Best day ever?  Yep. 
Big City.  Re-opened test.  What next?  I guess we shall see.

Bread Baking
Over the summer, I found myself with a lot of time on my hands.  I did not have a job but all of my friends did.  I just had a lot of empty time to fill.  And fill it I did.  One of the things I did was learn about bread.  Not just how to make it, but the why.  I read book after book about bread. I learned about flour and yeast and different cooking methods.  I learned what makes a rustic bread and what makes a sweet bread.  I may or may not have developed a deep love for all things bread.    One recipe that I really love I didn't get from any of my bread books.  I got it from this wonderful lady in my church.  She would bake the most heavenly bread and would gives loafs to my family from time to time.  I fell in love with it.  She gave the recipe to me and I use it often.  It is a simple sweet, sandwhich type bread.  So delicious and quick.  I am teaching my roommate how to make it.  So fun.  We seem to be having difficulties.  Better go fix it!

One of my Favorite Bread Books EVER
