A Rainy Day is a Great Day for Brownies

I woke up this morning to the pitter patter of rain drops hitting my air conditioning units. At first I liked the sound and the fact that my room was still dark. But then, after about a minute, the pitter patter of the rain started to annoy me. There is just something about rain hitting aluminum constantly that gets annoying.

I walked out to the living room and everything was dark. This is how it has been all day. The rain drops have been hitting my air conditioner for hours and I have finally started to get used to the annoying noise. I turned the television up a bit louder, made some brownies, and even did dishes to occupy myself so that I would not go nuts.

The brownies just came out of the oven and smell delicious. I made the Baker's One Bowl Brownie Recipe. It is the one I always make because it is so simple and I always seem to have the ingredients around. It is fool-proof too. I have added all sorts of random ingredients to the batter and the brownies always come out delicious.

Of course, I could have been doing homework, but I think that that would have driven me even more nuts. I have about 100 pages of reading to do for next week and with a four hour class tonight, I was not in the mood to have a headache all day.

The smell of the brownies is pulling me away from the computer and closer to a knife to cut them. Off to get my chocolate fix!

Ah...It's October

So I am officially no longer a teenager. Oh well. It has taken me a few days, but I have finally gotten used to it. Now I am realizing that it is actually October. Oh my gosh. I feel like it was the new year just a few months ago. Why is time flying by so quickly?

This past week the weather has decided to become cooler and windier. I have realized that I need to start wearing a light jacket or sweatshirt on my walk to class. No more cute sundresses and flip flops. I wore flip flops the other day and by the time I got to campus, my feet were freezing.

I guess the good thing about the weather cooling down is that the kitchens are not as hot as they were during summer term. Soon I will be cold in the kitchen which is something I will definitely appreciate after surviving the summer term and the one hundred degree weather in the kitchens.

School is school. Lots and lots of homework. I feel like after every class I have to come home and do homework. I think every chef/professor this term is out to get all of us. I should actually be posting something on the discussion board for my online class right now, but instead I am writing this. I am hoping that this will get me in the mood to post something, but it probably won't.

Is it Thanksgiving break yet??
