I also used my great-grandmother's cookie presses instead of doing the classic fork criss-cross pattern!! I live antiques and family heirlooms so much.

Peanut Butter Cookies
Tonight I made the most delicious peanut butter cookies ever. I used the classic recipe from The King Arthur Flour Cookie Companion cookbook. So much win!!!!!

Summertime
I'm graduating. Me. Again. With my Bachelor's in Biology. I will not only be a registered nurse but I will be a biologist. This makes me feel kind of like a badass.
One of my developing dreams as college started was to not only be a nurse but also be well versed in the biological sciences. I wanted to be a biologist. This dream is coming to actual realization and it's.....well, there really is no word to describe it in all honesty. Tantalizing? Extraordinary? Terrifying? Exhausting? Awesome? The list is ever growing.
Today was one of the best days I have had in a very long time. I was not only able to have a blast finishing some grading for the semester with two awesome Teaching Assistants but I was also able to have some lighthearted, fun conversations with the professor I work for about graduate school. I also got a triple shot Caramel Macchiato (iced) and pumpkin scone.
Then after moving some junk to my parent's house I went to see THE AVENGERS with my friend L. MOST AMAZING FILM EVER. The editing was phenomenal. The script was impeccable. The acting was flawless. Plus, there was so much beautiful manflesh to feast my weary eyes on. And Heather said, "It was good."
After movie going L and I were able to get some good Mexican food, followed up by a trip to McKay's (a used book store). I love this store. ALL THE BOOKS. I think I ended up purchasing about a dozen books by the time we left the store- but only spent about $25 which is unreal!!! This was followed up by a trip to get frozen yogurt. Note to self- don't get so many toppings next time.
The rest of my evening was blissfully uneventful. I was able to discuss what a Master's of Public Health program is like with a friend's friend who is currently pursuing that degree. It is confirmed. Epidemiology is for me! I then chose one of my purchased books of the day and have already read through half of it.
Sometimes I like being me. I will miss this....these outings with friends and living in college housing. It makes me very sad to know that this is ending so soon. Too soon. But for now, I have a book to finish.
