Update

I've been on hiatus for more than half the year. Dang. I actually even haven't been baking as much as I used to. Mainly because of time, cost, and lack of motivation. It's sad to say, but these past few months, I've fallen out of my love of baking. Don't get me wrong, I still love it, but I have no motivation to do it. I'm just plain out lazy. Additionally, it's the fact that I don't have many supplies to do so. I lack a lot of pivotal things or I don't really want to spend money on everything. My mom doesn't even support me when I do so most of the time, especially when I do have to buy a lot of different ingredients.

If you know me, then you'd know that I'm a very modest person. I don't really fancy on showing off my skills or how good I am at something. I can't handle compliments because I don't know what to say. This is the exact reason that no one I know knows about this blog, not even my best friend! Weird.

My thoughts, Part 1

Nursing school is hard. I dislike pre-planning, long classes, and not knowing what to do. Tests are amazingly difficult because you have to think differently...not the type of tests that I'm used to. Clinicals are terrifying, especially because you have to deal with someone's life. I'm just scared...of everything! :(

On the bright side, it's actually fun; especially when I get really cool patients! I just have to get past the initial terror of going into the hospital feeling unprepared. Clinical days are actually my only saving grace right now; my favorite day of the week (well...sort of, I actually like the days when I don't have any obligations except for studying). I guess it's not that bad. Only 2 1/2 more years left...

So we already finished all our skills that we can do! Patient care, vital signs, physical assessment, and administering meds. I gave oral meds the first day we could give them! It's actually a lot easier than what we did in skills lab. The week after (last week) I gave an SQ shot! It went surprisingly well...not as bad as I thought it would be! :D

Anyways, sorry that I'm not updating anymore. It's been really busy! I haven't baked anything in such a long time and I don't think I'll be able to until around Thanksgiving or after finals week! :(

Mini Cheesecakes

I haven't been able to write in awhile! Nor have I been able to actually cook anything...so sad. :/

Nursing school is very difficult! More difficult than I thought it would be! I need to study a lot...but I don't! My laziness has finally taken its toll! I always feel as though I am behind and I barely passed my first nursing exam! I can't wait for winter break already!

Don't Trust the B in Apt 23

I know, I watch wayyy too much TV! I just can't cut it down! :/

These cheesecakes were from the wedding I catered for in August. I kind of burned some of them because I was in such a hurry. The ones that weren't burnt tasted great though!

If it's your first time making cheesecake, make sure that your cream cheese is at room temperature to prevent clumps.
