I've recently gotten really into cooking. I can't change the channel from Food Network and Willams-Sonoma is my new favorite store. I heard that if you work for Willams-Sonoma, you only have to work like once a month to get the amazing discount. Cooking is easier than I thought it would be- except for baking. I guess I'm too much of a perfectionist but sometimes the baked goods just don't turn out like I thought they would. Tasty mistakes I'd say. This Saturday I'm taking another cooking class at Central Market to add to my advanced degrees in basic sushi and italian- basic knife skills. I'm really excited about it (weird?).

As an added note I'm going La Jolla, CA (sounds like la hoya) for a week in early August with Alice and her Dad's family. I'm especially excited because I get to cook for everybody there one night. Alice and I have been cooking for family all summer long and got to showcase our skills for her dad and Margaret the other night. They really liked the food and want us to cook in La Jolla.

This is me playing solo bagpipes for over 80,000 people during the halftime show at the Texas A&M game, Thanksgiving '03 (and a test for this blogger picture thing).

I just finished taking my government final and will soon go take my history final. I can very safely say that I made A's in both classes. My government teacher told me I did and I'd nearly have to fail my history test today to get a B. I'd have to say that Richland was not what I expected. It was easier for one thing. There were a lot of kids getting duel credit for high school. I felt like the professors were dumbing down the material for some people. All in all, I didn't like having to sit there every day and listen to things I learned and remembered from high school... Enter my dad's old laptop. It isn't much more valuable than a paperweight, but it does have one function I found very useful- the ability to run the original Roller Coaster Tycoon computer game. The game is basically SIM City but with theme parks. You can design many different types of roller coasters and micromanage you're version of Disney World. As my professors would drone on ("...the president has a 4 year term..."), I'd work on my newest theme park.

Apparently more than 2 or 3 people read this thing. Since I basically haven't posted since February I should probably update readers on what it is I've been up to. It won't take long since not a whole lot has happened. I'm living in a house next year with Jon Michael, Aaron, Derek, and Charlie (the same Charlie I lived with this year). I'm home in Dallas for the summer and am taking summer school at Richland College (go thunderducks). My job at the hospital was dissolved by the OR director without telling me this year. Since I am (was) technically hired year round there's really no reason that should have happened, especially with out even telling me. I let the right people know about it and heard she won't be there much longer. That's mostly about it, other than Cameron and Matt got married. Oh yea, I turned 21 in April! That was and continues to be pretty sweet. I hope everyone is having a good summer. I've sent some of you emails and left phone messages... so get back to me on those.
