Hi everyone!

It's fall and the weather in Asheville is nice and crisp! :) I started baking pumpkin-flavored everything and baking in general.

Pumpkin scones!


I baked chocolate-toffee cookies for the tutors I worked with today!

I'm having a fantastic week so far! The first draft of my thesis is done and due tomorrow. Okay, I have a few aesthetic changes to make, but I'm ready to polish it up after I post. :)

My high school seniors are coming to UNCA on Friday! I love them and I love planning, which is why I spent about two hours today just figuring out to which classes the students will go and with which tutors. I'm taking three students to my PSYC225: Personality class. The professor is odd, in a way that makes our class interesting. Then I'll taken them to Beginning Spanish I. I tutor Spanish regularly at the high school and now, as I'm finishing history, I want to study more Spanish. I took 4 years in middle and high school... maybe I can come back after college and get a Spanish degree/teaching licensure. Maybe.

As one of the few seniors still tutoring with the AVID program at the high school, I work with a lot of sophomores and juniors. I love the group of tutors I'm working with so much that I'm starting to think I'm a sophomore or junior. Then I remember I'm a senior and almost done, and it's depressing. While I'm super excited to student teach and then have my very own class, I won't get to have college fun anymore. :/ My point is, with my thesis mostly done (hopefully!), I'm taking advantage of all the college I have left! I had fun as a freshman in the dorms and then I stacked on a ton of responsibilities and classwork... now is time to reclaim my youth. Haha.

Oh yeah, I got a hair cut. My head feels lighter but I have to deal with straightening my side bangs in the morning... or usually, just pinning the hairs up. :)

Before and after

My housemate recently had a lot of homework, which made him sad, but look at the cool business cards he produced! He's a Multimedia Arts and Science major at UNCA!

P.S. I like photos. :)
