Where did spring break go?

Spring break has come and gone and any hope for coming back to a less stressful semester flew out the window along the way.  The past three days have been nonstop emailing and running from place to place trying to get things done.  Even with everything that I am doing it seems like my list keeps getting longer and longer and more impossible to get through.

So the week started off with me finding out my boss is no longer my boss.  She is gone, vamoose, POOF!!!  It's just been crazy trying to get things in order with my new boss.  He didn't know everything that was going on and he has a completely different administrative style.  It's gonna take some getting used to.  

Other than that, I got my acceptance from Towson to take my class this summer!  YAY it went through, now I just have to wait for the bill.  It has been so stressful the past few days working on my schedule for next semester, making sure I have all my prerequisites for grad school and what not.  BTW I think I found some places where I would like to go!!  So happy!  I think I finally have a plan, I like plans.  Now I just have to see if it works out.

I am so exhausted trying to get all this done, and other than the fact that it really does need to get done, I have no motivation to do it.  I really want to just be back at home, lounging around, taking as many naps as I want and baking whatever I can find to bake.   While I was home I attempted to make cookies, oatmeal raisin for my dad and chocolate chip for Craig.  I found a recipe for the chocolate chip cookies that calls for a packet of vanilla pudding to keep them chewy.  I think it worked, they were really dense but tasted WONDERFUL!!!  The other thing I baked was black bottom cupcakes.  I love the ones from Starbucks so I thought I would give it a try.  They came out alright.  I need to practice making the filling and dropping it into the chocolate batter but otherwise they tasted great.  

So my favorite day of the year was so disappointing!  Saturday was the Annual Chocolate Festival.  It's a morning of chocolate tasting and sugar highs!  unfortunately, this year they decided to double the price and only half of the normal vendors were there.  The only good thing was the GIANT caramel apple I got.  It was a green apple with caramel of course, but it was then covered in icing and cinnamon sugar!  It tasted like an apple pie!

Well, I have avoided homework for long enough now.  I also don't have much longer on duty so I get to head upstairs.  Wish me luck for the rest of the week.  I'm gonna need it.
