Friday Five

1. It's been a long week. There were some bad days and some good days, but on the whole I can't remember the last time I was so thankful for a Friday to finally come along. I think it's just the fact that the semester is winding down - only about a month left! In just a few weeks, the semester will be over, and we'll all have a month off before getting back to work. I mean, unless you're taking a winter semester class, but personally I will be taking the break as a break. Things are getting more serious, we're all having more assignments, more papers and exams. We're coming to the end of things, and it's starting to show.

2. I've been experimenting with various cake-in-a-mug recipes lately. So far I've tried two, and neither have been very successful. I think I'm just going to keep going until I find one that I really like, and then I'll make a whole post comparing the different recipes. I really like the idea of being able to make a quick cake in the microwave. I just haven't found the right recipe yet!

3. I'm really looking forward to Thanksgiving break, to be able to see my friends and family and take a break from school for a little while. It'll definitely be an interesting break, considering my current car-less state. I know, it was my own stupid fault for getting into an accident, and I'm mad at myself for it. I know I'll resent myself for not being able to go anywhere over break without borrowing a car from my parents, and just think, this break is only a few days long. Imagine winter break, when I'll be stuck at home every day while my parents are at work. That's not really the point of this though. I want to be home, with my family, with my friends, with the people who I love who love me.

4. OK this one can be about my car. I'm hoping that maybemaybemaybe my dad can find a cheap car that he believes is "trustworthy" that we can potentially buy with the insurance money and my savings. Maybe. I really don't see it as a true possibility though. Dad isn't very happy with me, considering that four days before my accident he was telling me that I drive too fast and don't stop soon enough and that I follow too closely behind other cars coming up to intersections and stuff. He was also counting on my car to be able to make it until I was out of school. It's pretty damn reasonable that he's not really too keen on buying or helping me to buy another car right now. I guess we'll just see what happens.

5. I've really been getting into reading A Game of Thrones lately. I finished the first book the other night, and I've been reading the second pretty steadily, too. I've really missed reading for fun, and I'm glad that I'm getting back into it. I think I kind of needed this.
