The fact that I managed to find the time to edit these photos, finish the video, and post the recipe is shocking to me. I’ve been swamped with school work the past week and I felt like I was struggling to find enough time for my blog, but I guess I was wrong because I seem to have gotten a lot done in the past couple of days.

I actually just finished editing every photo from this summer. That is a huge deal because there were many thousands that I had to sift through, pick good ones, and edit for hours and hours. Maybe it’s the motivational energy from college life, but it doesn’t seem all that hard (YET) to get both my school work and blog stuff done. I’m sure that will change, but for now, it sure is nice.

I remember making these brownies this summer. My dad and step-mom were on the couch, urgently waiting for brownies to go with a new episode of Parks and Rec. I was filming a video, which takes such a freakin’ long time, so it took 3 episodes for me to finish. Waiting made the brownies that much more delicious, though.

I’m starting to really miss baking fresh brownies, making pancakes from scratch, and other blog-related adventures. It’s tough having so few cooking materials and ingredients to work with here, but I seem to be making due with what’s available to me. I am going to make sure, though, that I intentionally use the kitchen in my dorm hall to make more home-cooked meals.
