Dealing with being overwhelmed

Gosh...it's been a while since I have posted anything and so much has happened. Sadly, I'm not going to have time to update you all on that...I'm in between my 2nd and 3rd exams in the past 24 hours and it's not even finals week yet! Crazy! Anyways, I'm excited to go home this weekend. I don't really know why, but I think it may be that I'm just in need of a break. It's only the weekend, but it'll give me a chance to get away from studying and relax. I have also gotten a little homesick lately too, which I haven't experienced since my sophomore year. I was looking through some pictures that a friend of mine posted on Facebook from my senior year of high school and they were prom pictures that were taken at my house. It was April at that time and our garden was in full bloom, which is my favorite time of the year and probably favorite place to be. Seeing those pictures made me miss that and made me dislike winter weather even more. I also have been feeling lonely recently. This is another thing that I cannot explain. I have been more social recently, or at least have tried, than any time in recent memory. But this has all contributed to me being really excited about spending time at home this weekend.

Anyway...other happenings in my life...I am going to bake a cake! I know that sounds weird, or maybe a little feminine, but it's a challenge for me. I was at lunch on Sunday at Panara and there was a magazine that had desert recipies in it. I started looking through it and found a Peanut Butter Chocolate 4 layer cake. I saw it and had to have it! I got all of the ingredients that night at Walmart and was fully intending on spending the night making it, but couldn't find two of the cake pans at Walmart, so I'm going to make it at home this weekend. I have always been scared to bake things because I'm not very good at judging when to take them out of the oven (which is why I microwave EVERYTHING). This should be interesting...

Welp, time to get to lab (boring)...I'll be back for my next post soon (hopefully not 2 months later like this one) where I will reveal (most of you already know) why my name is Mr. McCanish....

Peace
