Deferred entry

Tomorrow is the first grad school quiz I will ever take. After I take it I am no longer new to grad school, I move from the newbie stage to the beginning to be jaded stage. The been there, done that stage. I am ready. For the quiz, that is. At least I think I am and well, there is no way to know until about 7:30 tomorrow (class starts at 7:35 pm). That is when I will either start feeling nervous/doomed or just nervous. Let's hope for the latter.

I am also ready for the been there, done that stage. Sometimes newness can get old. Although so far in the past four weeks it hasn't. I like the new schedule. The new people I am meeting. The new library. And the new swimming pool. Definitely one of the best perks of school. Who knew?

Tomorrow night post quiz should also be interesting. For another test I am going to take. To be continued. . .

You say snow. We say souffle.

This, and three others like it, was our weekend's work. It was tough. But we did it. (It wasn't that rough and I knew we would do it.) What I didn't know was we'd do it on the same day the city would have its largest snowfall ever! (24.9 inches in Central Park.) My goodness!

(and here's
the link to the recipe for the souffle in the ramekins.)
