No More Class!

AHH! My summer class is officially done! Woohoo! This is the first time all summer that I haven't had any classes, so it's basically like the start of my summer break. Kinda depressing when you realize that I had 4 months off of GV and only 3 weeks off of class. Oh well. At least now I have more of my gen eds done and can move on to more interesting and important classes at GV.

I'm working on HP - I'm only at the part where Harry sees Sirius at Grimauld place for the first time, so not very far, really. Hopefully I'll have a little more time to read now that I don't have class. My goal is to get through the rest of the HP series in 2 weeks. It shouldn't be hard - when I'm not working, I'll probably be at home doing nothing.

After I post this, I'm going to make strawberry cupcakes. It's not nearly as cool as it sounds, as it's from a box mix, but I'm sure they'll taste pretty good. I'm going to take some to Nate and then have some here for this weekend.

So I'm working really hard to get my finances under control. I don't have a lot of debt, but I don't have a lot of money either, so I'm just trying to ensure that I will never not be able to pay for something important, like rent or utilities. I figure that being organized about this now will really benefit me when I'm struggling later on in the semester. It's gonna be hard to get hours and everything, so hopefully I'll be able to get everything sorted out before then.

Nate's birthday is coming up, and I still need to get him a gift. I'm waiting until after I pay tuition and buy books to get him anything, but I know exactly what to get: Seasons 1 and 2 of Good Eats with Alton Brown and a new skillet. Nate really likes Good Eats, and since he doesn't have cable at all, I figured that getting him the dvds would be a good idea. I really hope he likes it!

Well, time to get baking!
