Thanksgiving break!

My break turned out wonderful, tho i didn't really go out much, i was able to get rest. I finally got enough sleep and ate a lot! For thanksgiving, my family and i went to eat with my aunt from my dad's side, and then my grandmother from my mom's side. On friday, my mother and i prepared our own thanksgiving meal! We made honey roasted ham, corn, stuffing, biscuits, mash potatoes, roasted vegetables, potato salad, and sweet potato pie, blueberry pie and cherry pie. I really enjoyed making this meal with my mother because we both love to cook! It is wonderful to have some quality time with your family. I miss that, and i look forward to Christmas break!!

Managing money

I think over the years i have become a bit better at managing my money. Back then, when i first got my allowance, i was horrible at it. I would right away spend it on toys and candy but didn't care, always felt satisfied. But now things have changed, i've grown up and need more and more things, and everything has gotten more expensive. But now i try to spend my money wisely, and what i do is, purchase something that i actually really need. If i do not need anything important anymore than thats when i buy myself something like a book, or i tunes card, that kind of stuff. I still question myself, "do i really need this?" When i do that, my gut usually tells me if i do or not.
Besides managing money, this week was long, especially because i had sanitation classes today and yesterday! But i am just trying to think about how this week i have a couple of days off and get to stuff myself with some good food!!!

Disorganized!!!

School has been tough and it only seems to be getting harder. Many hours in school and little time to relax because of studying and homework. Usually in the middle of the week, i get really desperate for a day off! But once it is friday, i feel a lot more relaxed. I feel that since there is so much responsibility to do and little time for myself; i've become very disorganized. I use to be very organized, knew where everything was at, everything clean, planner full of notes and to do stuff, etc. Now my planner is mostly blank because i rarely use it, and try to use my brain to memorize things which does not work! The best way i've been keeping myself organized is by writing a to do list on sticky notes! It always works and makes you feel accomplished when you are crossing out that certain thing. I write down homework's and projects i need to do, things i really need to get, even little small things. I would recommend this, it works!

Family......

Its been a busy week and boy am i glad its friday! My plans for this weekend are to catch up on my homework, i have tons of it and making some time to relax. Fridays are the best(in my opinion) because you don't feel as pressured, you feel this soothing feeling through your body. Today i did some homework and paused for a while to watch some funny movies with my family. It relaxes me when i am around them, and especially when i laugh a lot. I wonder "what would i do without them?" They are what keep me going and what keep me from giving up my dreams. My family is excited for what i am learning in this culinary career. I've decided to prepare them a special meal tomorrow, either cream of broccoli soup or something with shrimp.
