A Much Needed Break

I havent' posted in a week because my life has been crazy lately! Next week is the last week before winter break and i think everyone is just about to burst at this point. I've haven't even opened my computer once in the past four days because i've been so busy with school-work and everything that i've barely had time to sleep or breathe, let alone write a blog post!
Tonight though, i decided that i really need a mental break and so (sorry, Mr. P!) i'm putting off studying for my latin test for a half-hour to pop in and say hi.
P.S. It's the last night of Hannukah!
In honor of which, i thought i'd share some festivity-related photos

What's a girl to do in order to celebrate the holiday season?
Bake a Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie, of course!
(recipe courtesy of How Sweet It Is)




my cookie dough and i wanted tosay hi...

don't you just wanna eat it raw? i know---me too.
Who the hell came up with Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Pie?
If anyone knows this individual, would you let them know that i'm single and definitely up for marriage?
the final remnants (blueberry pie was necessary, too, obviously)
 now that i've  probably just lost all my readers by sending them off to the kitchen in search of some chocolate, wanna know what the other best part of hannukah is, aside from baking?


Huh?


Any guesses?







Yes, you're right Noah, presents! (Although i'll pass on the buzz lightyear gun, but thanks for the offer!)


mmm. jewelry AND love? What else could a girl want?


A picture i fell in love with from Charmaine Olivia












                                                       
Alright guys, it's late and i'm tired and have Cicero (quite rudely) calling my name, so i unfortunately don't have the time to prove (via meaningful ramblings) to you that I, am not, in fact, a highly superficial person just because i said that the best part about Hannukah is the presents. :) In any case, its not about the presents, however pretty they may be,  yadda yadda yadda *insert sentimental story about the importance of family here*
I hope you all had a lovely week and I can't wait until this week is over so i can go back to breathing and sleeping and blogging properly like a normal human-being!

In the meantime, for all you nerds out there, i saw this video and thought it was awesome so if you have a few minutes to spare or are at all interested in little known, possibly useless but cool facts about math (and other things) watch away, if not, good night!

  8. I have to be honest. As one who never really got to celebrate Christmas or any holidays for the matter, I get annoyed by ppl who hate these celebrations because of the "material greed" blah blah blah. It's only once a year, and honestly, only the privileged gets to say stuff like that. Those who don't have anything...well, it's a grace and a blessing to be able to even complain about having "too much".

    Anyway, I hope you get a breather..I'm right now in the middle of finals so I'm "super busy" too...uh, procrastinating. Haha.
