Back In the Swing of Things

The Butterbeer cupcakes I made for Jennie's birthday.

Last week was the best week ever!  Just when I was mentally preparing myself for the new semester, Kansas City was dumped with 8 inches of snow and classes at Rockhurst were canceled for the first time since 2003!  That tricky little snowstorm prolonged my Christmas break by four whole days, which was perfectly fine with me!  It gave me the time to spend time with my roommates as we held a surprise celebration for my roommate's 22nd birthday.  I also had the opportunity to spend valuable time with my sorority sisters and cherish our new additions, as recruitment concluded last week.

Celebrating the new girls!

But now that classes are in full swing, I find myself relishing the structure of my schedule.  Even though I am only taking 12 hours in this final semester of my college career, I am going to be extremely busy with my final capstone research project, my internship, my part-time job, and my post-grad job search.  Just thinking about all that business already makes me look forward to spring break in March!
