Cookies, exams, & some deep stuff
I now have about 15 minutes to make this post before my break finishes and I have to go back to studying.
I haven't really been on the computer for a long time. OK, so a few days may not be that long to some but I generally don't end the day without at least ten to fifteen minutes on the internet. So I haven't been making blog designs, checking on internet friends, reading my weekly newsletters, and everything. I bet my e-mail must be such a dump by now.
So let's start with the cookies.
One of our friends brought a bag of cookies for us two days ago. The sugar was just the thing we needed to gear up for all the cramming and studying we'd have to do. All these photos are taken by Arn2x, by the way (except for the ones she's in). You could say she was a guest photographer.

So the cookies and brownies were really great. I love how large the chocolate chips in them were, and how the cookie crumbled just right. The brownies also weren't too sweet (which I detest), and filled with fudge and dark chocolate. Yum.
Arn2 & Cookie all excited over the goodies
If you can't tell from all the pictures and my words, yes, we really enjoyed it.
But after that, it was time to crack our skulls on the books again.
I've been studying so much that my notes are the last thing I see when I sleep and the first thing I think about when I wake up. Lately, I've been waking up two hours earlier than usual to study. This is not really normal behavior. I've always been the perfect bad example for the saying "
Early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise." But there's just not enough time to study anymore.
And it didn't even seem to help in the exam I took in Calculus this morning. After three hours of scribbling and a headache, I can honestly say I've got a 50% chance of passing or failing.
But that's where God comes in. Though I did really bad, I still felt real peace when I passed my paper. I mean, I couldn't believe how I wasn't freaking out more. It was like God telling me I didn't have to worry and I could just give it to Him.
And that's such a lovely thing.

So I'm Daisy (or fedora_girl)
I'm (naturally) wearing the fedora.
I'm a Chemical Engineering student --- getting that degree sometimes involves putting my brain through a strainer --- who also enjoys living life and eating like every meal is my last meal.
I'm a child of God, and that gives my life meaning.
I adore my family and friends. We spend a lot of time together, so they occasionally come up in my posts.
I also take pictures, do computer work, and scribble. I use Adobe Photoshop for long periods of time, and design blogs. I submit most of my good photos and drawings in
my DeviantArt account, and my blog designs in
my Blogskins account.
I read a lot. My favorite books of all time are the Holy Bible,
Pride & Prejudice,
The Scarlet Pimpernel,
The Boy Who Could Fly,
The Nanny, &
Charlie & The Chocolate Factory.
I don't like watching TV because I feel it gives me wrong ideas about the real world. I'm partial to period dramas, musicals and other good movies though. A few that I like are
Pride & Prejudice (2005 version),
North & South (a BBC TV drama),
Facing The Giants,
Sixteen Candles, &
Singin' In The Rain.
I love music; I like a lot of genres. I'm getting into country music and some good rock at the moment. I also adore movie soundtracks and songs that are more than 60 years old.
And about this blog...
It's pretty much a personal thing. It's filled to the brim with my escapades, thoughts, stuff I make, and just plain observations. Random, really.
Hope you enjoy it!
