pumpkin pancakes.. yummmm

without school work, i've had a lot more time in a sense.
I'm moving in a week
so that means i've been packing like crazy (so sick of packing !! )
and working.. which is good.
but when i'm not doing either of those things
i've been having friends over.
making them food.

last night my friend daria came over
and we made from scratch, pumpkin pancakes
i've actually never had them before
but let me be the first to tell you, they are amazing.
i highly recommend them, or better yet come over
and i'll make some for you.
i really enjoy making food for people
i'm not the best cook in the world, but people appreciate
(my family are my toughest critics, we all grew up cooking/baking)
the simplest of food...
and i think i mostly enjoy how it brings people together.
its like what coffee does to people...

I'm leaving for FL in a week
and most of my friends are gone, i'm so thankful for daria though
she's here, and we've been spending time together
she watches me pack :) we make food, talk about life.
i do however miss my girls...
being able to call one of them up to meet up for coffee
or crashing in one of their rooms for the night
i love what this year developed into.
it was a fantastic year.
busy, but fantastic. :)

i wonder what next year will bring?
sad to think this school year is gone...
i'm still homeless.. :)

i feel like my life is my own without school
when school is in session, it takes over my life
i stay locked away in my room, trying to motivate myself
to get work done, and when i'm not doing that
i'm working, driving, or sleeping..
working while going to school is a lot of work
i'm glad to say, i work for what I have
but sometimes I wish I didn't have to work so much.
because it would give me a little more time to work harder
on my school work, spend time with friends, or other things i neglect
when i'm in school...
thankfully, i only have one more year, a big year but one more.

with all that said...
i am looking forward to my summer
it will contain a lot of work
but i am looking forward to it.
hands on experience, community, FL !
i am just very hopeful for the new few months.
and i can't believe i'm leaving already!

ps, i hate packing.
i've moved more than the average bear
(i've only 25, and i've moved like 5 times in my adult life..)
but let me tell you packing never gets easier...
well, maybe it does, but i still hate it every time.
