Treat Yo'Self.

As of tomorrow, and Thursday (with the blessing of The Man & Woman Upstairs), I will officially be finished with my entire semester of FOUNDATIONS OF ALGEBRA (aka Algebra for beginners) class!!!! YES YES YES YES YES!!!! (in the vein of Daniel Bryan from WWE) I can't believe this, but at the same time, my upper back and shoulders believe it because I have spent tireless hours up past 1am doing this course in order to complete it in under the 14 day trial period. You see, the pitfalls of being a broke-ass college student means that all of my money went to transit to and fro class, buying what supplies I could get asap, and (of course) sustenance and libations aka food & drink. Thus, no dinero for MathLab online course' access code, which is $90, and $150 with the book...so...yeah no Bueno. No Bueno at all.


With the imminent arrival of the end of my course, I figured that I should celebrate, but since I repeat that I am a broke-ass college student, I will suffice with making another batch of Pumpkin Butter Hot Cocoa.

Afterwards, I shall curl up with a good YouTube channel, and lull myself to sleep. Tomorrow, I will finish up the last homework assignment and then the last quiz (I have already passed my midterm...WITH A MUTHAFCUKIN 95?!!!!) and await my practice final to arrive in my email. La Vie est Belle...Troup Belle.



Bien Provecho!!!

Drink Up...I Got a Work Study Opp at a Museum!!!

Naturally, this is an occasion of which I soo need to celebrate. I applied for this work study opportunity at the Museum of African American History in Beacon Hill Boston approximately two weeks ago and just heard from the professor TODAY that I got the slot!!! It's like NO MONEY AT ALL and yet it is just enough to get me to the museum, eat/drink, do things for my pets, and buy me one of those cute Fujifilm instant cameras in two different colors. Options!!!


As well, it can help pay for my blog upgrades (my actual WordPress blog) so that I can continue to have something to do aside from my work at the museum and classwork. I am truly loving this state of finally feeling accomplished on the road path to my dreams, and in honor of this new development, I have brought you some of my favorite drink recipes from across the interwebs.

Sparkling Raspberry Lemonade

 

 

 

This is the perfect drink for those like me who ABSOLUTELY REFUSE to give up summer...and let's face the facts: the weather tomorrow is slated to be nearly 90 degrees here in Boston, so who says that summer is over??? Mother Nature surely didn't?!!!

Very Berry Sangria

 

 

This...this is DEFINITELY a celebratory drink, so make it to celebrate the fact that it is gloriously still summer, an Indian Summer as I called it, here in New England. Serve with those pretty retro paper straws and you'll totally make a statement...which reminds me...can I make these to show the guy I like that I like him and wanna have his babies??? Hmmmm.....onward!!!

 

 

 

Strawberry Pineapple Mimosas

 

 

Because, why the FCUK not??? It's a FCUKING STRAWBERRY PINEAPPLE MIMOSA!??!!! Someone get me one of those funnel hat thingies and leave me to my basket of nutella croissants?!!! **** For those who wish to wimpishly make a non-alcoholic version of these drinks, sub out the Champagne for Sparkling Soda/Seltzer Water or Sparkling Cider. Same affect, slight flavor twist (then again, this isn't exactly the classic Mimosa recipe, so...), and a brightened flavor. Cheers!! *clink clink*

 

 

 

Bien Provecho!!!
