Studying, studying & then some dinner

This weekend I had more homework to do than previously required of me in school. My list was/is as follows:

⎷ Skeletal English essay to write 

⎷ Political Science essay to write

⎷ Political Science test to study for (the first grade of the class so far)

⎕ Art Appreciation test to study for which covers seven chapters

⎷ Three art analysis short essays to write (of my own work!)

⎕ A short story to read ("Story of a Good Little Boy," by Twain)

⎷ Algebra homework to complete online/chapter to read

⎷ Linguistics exercises to write out/chapter to read

annnnd if I get to it, a scholarship letter to write, but I'll probably do that next week. 

Now, I have no real preconceptions of how much workload is a lot (but classmates do start swearing and moaning about writing just one paper over the weekend...more on that sometime later), but I do know that this is more than I've previously had to do! It's rather fun, though. I mean, working against a deadline can really be rewarding and it is such a relief to have a deadline! 

I've literally been at my desk or on the floor since Thursday night working on things. Of course, I'm known to take more time on things than some people might think necessary. ;)

Tonight, I made dinner for the first time in ageesss. Mom got a whole chicken from TJ's, so we made made coq au pot tonight. That pretty much means you stick a chicken in a pot with garlic and onion (no liquid), put a lid on it and stick in the oven for 40min or so. It's sooo good. I also made sautéed broccoli and carrots, as well as some mashed potatoes. Unfortunately, the sun went down before I could take pretty pics of everything together. :(

Anyway, back to work! There is more to study yet!

Today was a spring day in the midst of winter. Georgia weather is always playing games and this year is no exception. Today the sun was bright, the air was mild, and every now and then there was a gust of lovely wind. That is, while I was outside, which was for a minute in the morning, twice to walk from my car to the school building, and twice to walk from one school building to another... and then for a walk when I got home. 

Anyway, it was very still this evening, and I wanted to try to capture that. The first few pics are from this morning, the rest from my walk this evening.

I hope everyone has an interesting weekend!
