So, the blogger layout has changed since I've been away... from writing. I finally feel like I have time--because I do have time. And now I don't really know what to do with all of it. Cleaned the house, bought some books for the next semester, started doing homework for next semester... and I still have lots of time. I'm going to have to find a hobby or something. I will be taking a class over the summer break, though, and doing a lot of reading for my literature class in the fall.
Gardening takes time. A lot more time than I thought. I spent several hours weeding the other day. And that was only three carrot rows. We are learning many, many things about gardening. Like that we should have planted way earlier, watered more often when we first plated, and thought about what exactly we were planting (we have way too many radishes. I don't even really like radishes. I think Anton just discovered they're not exactly his favorite either). Our garden is looking better than it did. Before it looked like a bunch of weeds growing randomly throughout our garden space; now it looks like a small, week garden, but still a garden. I think Rebecca and Lavar (our landlords who live in the other half of the duplex) secretly help us with it (their side looks like a tropical rain forest).
Anyway, I like Child Development much better than any of my other majors. Not just because it's easier (which it is), but also because I feel like it's more valuable and something I would use more. Took my last Russian class. Got an A. Still don't speak Russian... ; (
I think I'm getting better at cooking. More often, that is, not better at cooking food that tastes good. Oh, we moved again ( 3 months ago)... not sure if I mentioned that before. We live in a house now, it's pretty sweet. We have a back yard, and a front yard, garage, hammock, grill, garden, all sorts of cool, homey stuff. That about sums it all up.
What the heck?! I like reading about stuff on your blog, but not necessarily for the first time! I think you should be obligated to call family members when a semi-major life event occurs...like a garden :) No actually like moving, but a garden too! That's really cool. We enjoyed living in houses much better than apartments, by far! Proud of you for actually cooking more, hey maybe that can be your new hobby?? Cooking new recipes that taste good? With radishes? I took lots of Spanish classes and didn't speak it either. Takes more practice than anything else. Make Anton speak Russian with you at home and eventually you'll get there. :)
ReplyDeleteI want a yard too! Maybe someday. Cool that you actually have a garden! Ummm, I must confess, I can't really relate to the having extra time on my hands bit and not knowing what to do with it. I only wish...
