Post-paper Rewards
This is how I celebrated finishing my papers Monday night. I had two papers due on the same day and somehow managed not to lose any sleep over them. I did, however, spend many a day in Starbucks for the only 4 days in a row that it was sunny in Cleveland.
I am starting to look fondly on the Cleveland skyline, on days when it is visible (even though it is nothing compared to Chicago). I managed to snag a picture from the parking lot behind my apartment, with the sun hitting the buildings as it went down below the ceiling of clouds. Doesn't really do it justice, but in case you were wondering what the city of Cleveland looks like...:
To accompany my fancy pumpkin/yam single beer, I got some olives to snack on. This is a truly acquired taste: one I haven't quite grown into yet, but since my dad likes them I'm sure one day I will love them too. When I was younger the only olives I would eat were at Thanksgiving; black olives that came out of a can and I ate them with lots of ranch dip, which sounds kind of gross now. I like kalamata olives in very small quantities in Greek salads, but I usually pick them out. Anyway, I enjoyed the artichoke hearts and about half of these olives before having to quit.
I am home now, which might mean less cooking, but more holiday cookie baking, best of 2011 lists, New Years resolutions, and all that good stuff.
