I SPENT 10 MINUTES MAKING MY SNAPCHAT STORY ABOUT MY SUMMER WORK INSTEAD OF ACTUALLY WORKING ON MY SUMMER WORK SOMEBODY ARREST ME PLEASE

I'm not mentally ready for the next 3 months

Welp, two and a half assignments down, two and a half to go....

The highlight of yesterday was a new froyo bar opening in the mall. It was actually decently priced; I didn't even have to pay $5 and I had a ton of toppings! I've been dreaming about that froyo all day, I'm having really bad cravings for sweets, particularly of the cold and creamy variety.

I had a terrible setback in my summer work: last night I had a terrible migraine (courtesy of the screaming little beastly children at Famous Footwear) and laid in bed from 4:30 until I fell asleep. I feel much better today, so yay for that! I'm already halfway through my Honors Gov homework, which I thought would take much longer. I've been having a lot of writer's block with my English work, though. I really need to get that worked out because there is a stupid amount of work that needs done there and hardly enough time to do it!

It's been a crazy day of stuffing envelopes for this girl! On the bright side, I didn't have to go into work, which was great. I still haven't gotten much work done. Oops.

Cedar Point was a blast yesterday! The two rides that were put in since the last time I was there were closed, unfortunately, but Andy and I still got to do a lot and see a ton of stuff. My favorite ride there is Millennium Force. It's hands-down the best coaster on the continent. We waited a total of four hours for it, but it was 100% worth it all. We ate lunch at the Johnny Rocket's in the park. The fries were great and I had the thickest milkshake I've ever had in my life, but my burger was meh. It had a funny aftertaste. All in all, it was a really great day and I'd relive it over and over again if I could.

Today was a pretty sad day for me. It started off well; I met with my newspaper adviser and co-editor to discuss the paper, met Andy for lunch, and picked up my schedule for senior year. After that, my day went far downhill. As I looked over and analyzed my schedule, I realized that it was extremely hard. If I survive my first semester alone it'll be a minor miracle. So in order to not spread myself as thinly I have to quit my improv troupe for at least the first semester. Improv is my therapy and my fellow improvisers are my family, so this really breaks my heart. Plus Andy leaves for school in 10 days, and then I have all sorts of work left to do and I'm dying. On the bright side, he's taking me to Cedar Point tomorrow, so at least it'll be a nice day off.

I can hardly focus on the East of Eden reflections that I'm writing. I want to impress the teacher really badly with my analysis and writing prowess, but I feel like everything I've written sounds like "herpderpherpderpherpderp." I'm sure I'm just over-analyzing it, but I still don't want to make a bad impression.

Today I (finally) went to the gym. Yay for getting back on track!

I can hardly focus on my summer reading assignments, I'm just so so so tired.

Uggggggh I'm so so so so so so tired I've been up since 6:30...

I am hardcore craving bagels right now. All the bagels, it doesn't matter how many.

Sorry for not posting at all the past few days! Work has been wiping me out. On the bright side, I finished reading East of Eden!!!!!!!!!


Now I just have to do all the other stuff....

Chocolate Mud/Nutella Lava Microwave Dessert

After the shells, I was seriously craving chocolate. It was driving me crazy, and this was the only thing that could fix it! Look at it, in all of its glory!!!

Here's the recipe for this glorious chocolate desert:

• 1 oz. chocolate chips, or however many you feel like putting in. I usually just go off of my sight.
• 1 1/2 tbsp butter
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 1/2 beaten egg or 1 tbsp of "egg beaters"(pre-beaten eggs in a carton). That's what I typically use just because I'm not wasting half an egg and I save some time and dishes by not having to beat it.
• 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 2 tbsp Nutella (if desired)

To start, melt the chocolate chips and the butter in a microwave safe bowl or mug for 40 seconds, and then stir to make sure it is blended evenly and has a liquid consistency. Then, mix in the sugar, egg, and flour until you have a semi-thick batter. If adding Nutella, leave a dollop right in the middle of the mix: maybe push it down if you so feel like it. Microwave the dessert for 45 seconds to a minute, but don't go over a minute. Personally, I like mine a little muddier so I only cook it for 45 seconds. Remove from microwave and allow to cool for 3 minutes before serving.

Alternative: Mix the chocolatey dessert up so it gets the consistency of a mud cake. This is my favorite way to eat it.

I really enjoy this recipe because it's great in a pinch when you don't have a lot of time or energy but are still craving a warm and rich dessert.

Bacon Shells & Cheese pic

I just realized that I haven't posted the picture for my bacon shells and cheese and also the recipe/picture of the spectacular dessert I made with it!!!!! It's coming!!!!!!!!!!!

Welp, I now have at least four hours extra of work tomorrow night, and basically zero hours for summer reading. Gold star for Emily.

Ok, NOW I'll read.

Right now I'm putting off my summer reading even further by online shopping. Way to go, me!

Today I got called into work, which was pretty meh. It was a pretty slow day for the most part. In good news, my mom, after almost a year, finally got a new full-time job! We're all pretty stoked, and she is especially. She's missed working, so I'm really happy for her!!!!

Goodnight, my readers!

Also, I'm watching Fargo right now and it's pretty great. Steve Buscemi is pretty phenomenal in his role.

According to Netflix, Freaky Friday is a critically-acclaimed film. Imma let that sink in...

My younger sister just got home from a concert and my dad's so mad but he fell asleep minutes before she got home so she's off the hook this time!
