Mmmm... Desserts!

Anyone who knows me knows I LOVE desserts, especially of the chocolate variety!

I have three new favorites, and one that I have been meaning to blog about since April! I have now made and tried these three and feel the need to share theses amazing treats.

1. Hershey's "Perfectly Chocolate" Chocolate Cake

2. Hershey's Three-in-One Chocolate Chip Cookies
Email me for this recipe!

3. Pioneer Woman's Chocolate Sheet Cake (Texas Sheet Cake)

These are amazing! Sorry it has been a while, but everything has been hectic and maybe it will simmer down enough to get back to blogging!

Sneaky Spring Semester

This first spring semester of college has flown by! It seems like it was yesterday when I walked into Dr. Butts 2010 History class at 10:10 that Monday morning. As I look back with only three weeks of classes left, I am grateful for everything that has happened. This semester I have planned my wedding almost completely, made it through English 1010 with Mrs. Teter - who is an amazing teacher -, made it almost all the way through Calculus II which has been a feat, and also have skipped my first class ever! By the way, I am NEVER going to intentionally skip a class again! I just pray I can make it through the end of exams with my current grades or even better bring them up.

I am so ready for this summer. So far I am going to a friend's wedding on May 14th, and another one on June 5th. The second weekend in June I am going to Gatlinburg with my mom and hopefully my aunt as well. June 30th is when ECLIPSE comes out!!!!!! So excited! That weekend I get to go to Florida with Nick's family, and then the last full week in July I am going to Georgia with the family and hopefully Nick!!!

This is all for now, because I have to focus on staying up to register for classes and study for the math test on Thursday!

I Think I Can

I always thought I would hate college.... Guess What?! I was right! I don't hate all of college, just the writing papers and actually having to study. My freshman year has kicked my booty. Between University Physics, History Paper, English Essays, and Calculus I-II I am surprised I haven't lost my mind completely. I am glad I am in college, don't get me wrong, I am just wondering why it is so hard. Seriously, everyone should have to go to college before they start yelling that it was the decision you made to go so you should have to deal with it instead of complaining. Oh well, I think I can, I think I can, I think I can is what is getting me through.... I WILL make it! Maybe this blog will be my pep talk to myself when I think I can't! Enough for now... Have to study for Calculus II quiz...

What I Don't Understand

1. Why five pages of a boring topic are required to be written in history.
2. Why majors that aren't hisory have to take history.
3. Why I can't concentrate on writing papers.
4. Why hot dogs come in 10 and buns in 8.
5. Why we need to find the area under the curve on a graph.
6. Why college is needed to teach; I'm pretty sure my great aunt was perfectly fine teaching without it.
7. Why you must have internet service with Verizon's Blackberry.
8. Why gas cost so much.
9. Why anything cost so much.
10. Why I am doing this.... oh well... just wanted my frustrations to be heard... :) Thanks!

Origin of "Know Your Limits"

This past November, I had the opportunity to attend the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics conference in Nashville. My future mother-in-law also attended this conference. While we were there I purchased a shirt that had an amazing saying printed on the front.

Limits were by far my favorite thing in Calculus I. My love for Calculus began because of an amazing teacher, Leslie Spicer!
This is a limit by substitution, so you plug in the infinity where the x is in the problem. So in turn, one divided by infinity equals as close to zero as you can get! I was soo excited when I saw this t-shirt! One day I hope to add some more math t-shirts to my collection which has another one already.


With this shirt, the imaginary number i is telling the pi symbol to be rational since it is an irrational number, and pi is telling the imaginary number to get real! (I know, like I said, Math Geek!)

Another favorite I hope to get is this:


Anyways, this is all the nerd I have tonight!
