Happy late Easter everyone. This post is coming to you late because Easter was a nightmare. Originally, one other baker and myself were supposed to go in to work at midnight the day of Easter. We were going to make 180 mini cinnamon rolls. Yes, you read that right. 180. Well, then I get a text that says the other bakers are confident that I can make all of them myself. From start to finish. In under 6 hours. Yeah. No thanks. I ended up asking my manager about it, and he told me that the other bakers would make them on Saturday. All I would have to do is put icing on them Easter morning. That seemed a lot more reasonable. So, I go into work on Easter morning and everything was already done! All I had to do was let them thaw. I was ecstatic. I still had to make regular cinnamon rolls and cookies, along with prepare 2 new cookie doughs. Despite that, I was still done in 5 hours. Went home, took a nap, then went to Easter dinner at my grandparent's house. We had ham, pulled pork, coleslaw, potato salad, cucumber salad, and green bean casserole. My uncle didn't find me funny when I threatened to eat all of the green bean casserole. In my defense, it was really really good. It didn't last more than 24 hours in our house. After that, I decided to attempt some of my school work. I am proud to announce that I am completely finished with my Juvenile Delinquency class! It was one of my online classes, and he had the final exam already opened so we could take it. I'm very proud of myself. I have one more assignment for my sociology class, my final exam for my corrections class, a few assignments for my philosophy class, and a discussion board and the final for my psychology class. I'm so close to being done. Hopefully I can have everything done by the time that my boyfriend gets here. I would love to not have to go to class or take finals once he is here. I should probably get back to finishing those last few assignments. I will post again next week.

Today is an exciting day. I am taking over the Instagram page for USC National Student Exchange (@uofsc_nationalstudentexchange). If you're interested, go check it out. It's been fun so far. Right now we are at the university looking at art pieces and sitting in the library doing homework. Later we are going to visit some of my favorite restaurants and places around Fairbanks.
Aside from the Instagram takeover, life has consisted of class, working on finals, and work, just like usual. At work I made a cinnamon roll wreath and two 12" decorated cookie cakes. They came out pretty nice. I will share the pictures in my gallery. In terms of finals, I have 3 papers, 3 exams, and 1 in-class presentation. Super fun. I would like to have it all done by the time that my boyfriend gets here. He is flying up on May 1, which is the week of the finals. I might still have one class to go to while he is here, but I am almost done, which is super exciting. I registered for classes this morning for the fall semester. That was a nightmare. I had my schedule all planned out. I went to register. "You have an advising hold on your account. Please contact your advisor." One of my classes completely filled up by the time I fixed the issue and I was forced to rearrange my schedule. One of my minors is Psychology, and I need to take two psychology classes next semester to make sure that I graduate on time. The only issue is that the psychology courses are limited to psychology majors right now. They won't open for psychology minors for another 3 days. I have tried for 2 semesters now to get into Cognitive Psychology and haven't been able to get into it. It is driving me insane. I would really love to take that class, but I won't know whether I can or not for the next three days. As of right now, I have 3 classes on Tuesday and Thursday, starting at 10:30 am and ending at 2:30 pm. I have 1 class on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, which I was trying not to do, and its from 2:30 pm to 3:50 pm. If I get into the psych classes I want, one will be included in the Tuesday Thursday schedule at 8:30 am and one will be online. I just really hope that it all works out because I don't want to have an awful schedule. I'm not going to say too much more because I'm posting a bunch of stuff on Instagram. Go check it out! I will post again next week. Disclaimer: I do apologize that this post is late. It's been rough.
Now, back to our regularly scheduled program. What up guys? The weather is getting warmer, the sun is shining longer, classes are almost over. I am one happy southern girl. Everyone at work is always like, "It's so warm out! Don't you love it?" I tell them that it's getting warmer but we aren't in my comfort zone yet. My comfort zone is like 70-80. We are in like 45-55. Almost there. We are almost at the point where we have close to 24 hours of sunlight. That starts in June. I am very excited for June. You will hear lots about the sunlight and my happiness. I'm not sure if I mentioned this in my first blog post, but I will be maintaining my blog all the way through the summer. I want y'all to see both sides of Alaska: near darkness 24/7 and all sunlight 24/7. It'll be a lot of fun. Classes are almost over, which I am very excited for. Spring semester in college is worse than having senioritis in high school. I lack all motivation to do any of my work and assignments are getting turned in at the last minute or shortly after the last minute. It's bad. Work is work. I go in and make cinnamon rolls (which I have pictures of!!!). My boyfriend will be flying up here in like 2.5 weeks, which I am super excited for. We are going to go to Chena Hot Springs and climb Angel Rocks and see Gabriel Iglesias perform and he's going to try a bunch of new foods and it's going to be awesome. My brother is flying up in the middle of June to spend the summer up here, so that will be fun. We are all going to go halibut fishing down in Homer. I thought Homer would only be an 8 hour drive from Fairbanks because I thought that it was just two hours outside of Anchorage. The 6-hour drive from here to Anchorage is nothing for me because I make that same drive from Virginia Beach to Columbia. I was very mistaken. My uncle informed me that the drive is closer to 12 hours, not 8. I'm excited to go, I'm just not excited for the car ride. Y'all should be though. That trip will contain lots of great pictures. It'll be fun once I actually get there. I need to get back to my homework, so have fun! Talk to y'all later this week! |
