hopeless

I’m studying carbohydrate metabolism.

I have a quiz tomorrow. HELP.

I couldn’t help myself

These are the red velvet scones I made last night for a bake sale on campus today for a club I don’t even belong to.

Because overextending myself and making treats THE DAY I GAVE UP DESSERT for Lent made tons of sense.

Tons.

On an unrelated note, I look adorable today:

Can you believe I’ll be 30 in a matter of months!?! Shocking.

Another unrelated note: I’m wearing sneakers for what feels like the first time in ages today. It’s cold but dry, and my feet were getting tired of the rain boots/Uggs/snow boots rotation.

Happy Valentine’s Day all!!

Happy feet!

binder hell

Seriously people, buying school supplies is highway robbery these days.

$5.99 each?! For some off-brand plastic and metal? That seems a bit high, don’t you think?

Oh, it gets worse.

$7.49 just to be able to flip it over?? (A handy option, I’ll admit, but am I willing to pay more for it? I don’t think so.)

Believe it or not, it gets EVEN worse.

$9.29!!! For ONE? You’ve got to be kidding me.

All I wanted was the Avery brand, white, one-inch binders I’ve been buying for the last three semesters. I needed five. Target was fresh out, which brought me to Office Max, or ‘the most expensive place to buy office supplies you can’t find anywhere else and are thus forced into paying through the nose.’

After much price-comparing in my head, and maybe a little out-loud public math using my fingers, I came to the conclusion that this would be my best bet:

Twelve for $24.99. Just more than $2 each–my kinda price for BINDERS, for pete’s sake. And it’s not like I won’t need five or six more next semester…
