More cake references

My time thus far in Houston has been good – I have been to two high school sports banquets, hung out with my family, saw my good friend Lucas, and ate like half a chocolate cake that my mom made.  My mother has made this particular cake on only one other occasion in my life to date, and this stuff is really.freaking.good.  My dad’s face lights up when he takes it out of the fridge; it’s really cute.

I am re-registered for this next fall – I registered before, but ended up re-arranging some classes, adding some, swapping, etc.  New schedule:

15 graduate hours – I just might be insane.  I’m getting my cognate out of the way, and I’m really excited about taking a graduate-level history class.  Maybe if I end up working in a university library one day, I can use my one free class per semester to get my MA.  Which will take like 4 years that way.

Back to San Antonio tomorrow for a couple of days to go to my friend Vicki’s birthday party.  I don’t know if I’ve ever talked about Vicki on here before, but I would like to take this time to gush about her, because she is more awesome than you.  Seeing her – and even just seeing her name pop up on my caller ID – makes my day.   So thank you, Vicki, for being such a joy in my life – for your encouragement, your laughter, your strength and wisdom, and your empathy.  You are amazing :)
