summer term

So, now I am taking summer classes. I'm taking a cooking class and a Masterpieces of English Literature class. I think I'm going to enjoy both. In my cooking class today, my group made gingersnaps, which were pretty good. I'm not a huge fan of ginger snaps. One of the other groups made cherry jam tarts, and they were SO good! I am definitely downloading that recipe. And there's a girl who lived on my floor freshman year in my class, so that's pretty fun. She just got married. You know what's funny? There are four people in my group (all girls) and I'm the only one who isn't married. Amusing. I suppose I'll be more prepared to cook for my future husband after taking this class, ha ha!

My literature class should also be fun. I've already read a lot of the stuff we're reading when I was an English major, and I am counting my blessings that we are not going to be talking about deep, abstract concepts. All we're doing is discussing why these pieces are considered masterpieces and such. I like that. When I did IB English and the English major, we had to analyze all these ridiculous things. I called it: "analyzing what doesn't exist". I love to read, but I don't like analyzing. I already do enough of that in my regular life with regards to the opposite sex *laughs*. Actually, I'm getting better.

I've been invited to be part of a dinner group in my ward, hooray! This will give me a chance to practice my newly learned cooking skills. This will also make it so I don't have to cook for myself every night. Last night, I made a stir fry, but I don't think I made quite enough. It was fine though--not many people came. I have a lot of leftover rice. And I must say, I'm getting pretty good at this Japanese rice thing :)

Oh, and this is a video of my cousin Luke singing "We Will Rock You". This was the last time I saw him and my other Busby relatives before they left for Keith's internship in New York. I miss them. I also miss their washer and dryer, but that's beside the point. I'm excited to see them in just a few months. I hope my mom will be able to see this.
