back to school....

School starts again next week. It's the last semester for me! I can't believe it's finally here. I am glad I only have 9 hours this semester. And one class is an independant study class that only meets 4 times a semester.
I have my syllabus for my capstone class and it's a killer. While I can believe the amount of work involved, good grief! It's bad when an instructor states that if you don't have 12 hours a week for homework don't take the class. But I'm ready.

Yea for u! The almost done feeling is the best almost as good as the done feeling. If u get too stressed we can go out for a mai thai.

Did you see the mai tai? It was huge! And obviously, you got to hear about me being loopy. BUT IT WASN'T FROM THE MAI TAI! I swear!

I ate lunch with Mom awhile back and ordered a mai tai. And no, I don't do it to shock you Mom. I like the occasional grown up drink when I'm having a grown up lunch. This mai tai was the size of my head! I couldn't finish it and was feeling a little loopy. After the buzzy feeling wore off I was still goofy and was silly all through Best Buy. Maybe fruity drinks make you fruity. But damn it was a BLISSFUL mai tai!

Yes i saw the mai tai. She kept telling me i could order whatever i wanted. I like to drink but i have my limits. 11.15 am is too early for me. I usually dont do any drinking before 5pm. Just a boundary i set for myself after celebrating my 21st bday and being done with phase. That was a day! Maybe ill tell u about it sometime.

I don't think I've EVER had a mai tai before!

What's capstone?

At wsu it's the classes you take your final semester that pull everything you are supposed to have learned all together. It's a crazy amount of work.
Here's one Mai tai recipe. NO WONDER I felt odd.

1 1/2 oz Barcardi Light Rum
3/4 oz Triple Sec
3/4 oz orgeat syrup
3 oz orange juice
3 oz pineapple juice
splash bacardi 151 rum
splash dark rum

fill glass with ice. add light rum, triple sec, orgeat, orange juice, and pineapple juice: quick stir. Splash the 151 and dark rum on top, do not stir.
