Sometimes I feel like I have no personal life, or no time for one since school has become such a focus. Well, believe it or not I do have one, not much, but it's something.
The most exciting thing is that Tony and I paid off the car!!! We are officially down one loan! A couple Fridays ago, Tony and I drove down to the Veridian Credit Union in town to pay off the remaining $.56 we had due. It was quite a momentous moment. Now all of our student loans to go.
Let's see, what else? The last regular week of school, my graduate seminar had a potluck. We were supposed to bring in a food item that reflected our culture/heritage/life/etc. There was nothing that really stood out to me, but being mostly German, I figured I'd look up some recipes. Beyond beer (I was tempted to bring in a six pack) and brats and more meaty main dishes, I ran into something called Schneiderflecken. In German it means "tailor's scraps" and they are pretty much (or are supposed to be) thin crispy fried pieces of dough. Similar to doughnuts, but not as sweet and not fluffy. Tony and I embarked out to make them and for the most part they turned out. We mostly enjoyed them!
