And all through the house, boxes and bins were everywhere, and I...? Ok, I'm not even gonna try and rhythm that. Any-who, if you haven't been paying attention to the news or weather forecasts, a little lady named Irene is coming up the east-coast fast and has disrupted my plans to return to school. Originally you see, I was supposed to move in on Sunday, the only moving day my school has allowed this year. Now with Irene threatening to cause mayhem and chaos, my travel plans have been thrown through a loop. Yesterday, my school kindly sent out an email requesting that any students who planned on returning to school on Sunday should only do so when safe. Additionally, they have canceled the first day of classes. Typically, I would insert a little hooray after that, but since I only had one fifty minute class on Monday, there really isn't much to rejoice over. Also, by canceling classes Monday, that means the first day of school will now be Tuesday, also known as my day of hell. Why? Because I have four classes in a row on that day. Talk about one crazy day. However, there is more fun to be had at Clark other then just a small little thing like a hurricane. They are officially shutting down all sources of food on campus after brunch time on Sunday. Whoa, talk about a twist. So now, not only am I getting up to school early, I get to ride out a hurricane without any hope of having a nice warm meal. Gee, now I'm starting to forget why I wanted to go back so badly.
Well, look at it this way; if the hurricane knocks out all the electricity and running water, at least I'll have time to sit down and finish crocheting my scarf. That's definitely one way to turn a negative into a positive. Originally I had hoped to get some baking in, however, all the ovens at school are electric. Hence another reason why I don't want the university to have a black out. Though I wouldn't be baking cupcakes, instead I'd be trying my hand at cookies. Why? Well, the other day I bought a three piece cookie pan set. Yea, I didn't actually need them, but I just couldn't resist. The same can be said for the bright orange pot that I picked up at Marshall's. In fact, when I look back on it now, I have purchased a lot of things this summer that I didn't actually need. Whoops. Thinking back on it now, I probably spend more money on cooking and baking supplies then I did on textbooks. But as my friend would say, think about the opportunity cost. In the long run, when I have my own apartment at least I'll already have this stuff.
The cupcake challenge will resume probably next week and yes, I have already purchased the peanut butter. This past week, I have searched the internet and bunch of different cupcakes books and have written down three potential recipes. Now, one is more challenging then the other two, which means that I'll probably attempt that one. I have always been a sucker for challenges. I think this blog is living proof of that :P
I'll be blogging more this weekend, so stay tuned for my overview, and photos of the hurricane Irene and what she does to my beloved Clark university. And don't forget, COOKIES. Anyone who's on campus and reads this, please feel free to drop by Maywood for a free cookie.
So until next time,
