        This week has been pretty busy; however, I have had some personal accomplishments. I painted for the first time in almost a year this past week. It was wonderful. Due to an immense amount of school, I did not have time to, so this was very rewarding. As far as challenges, there have not been many. The worst thing I could possibly think of is that I got mud on my brand new pair of white shoes. How awful is that? In terms of learning, of course, I learned in this Math class. Most of it I have been taught in the past, but due to a long period of not practicing it, it has been lost. As for a question on a test or quiz, there are so many to think of, but here is one, fraction problem:

To obtain a certain shade of paint, Zack Packanack mixed 1 3/4 gallons of alizarin red paint with 5 gallons of burnt umber brown and 5 gallons of true ultramarine blue. How much paint did Mr. Packanack have?

I have to say, this has been a great week! I think it was a good idea that we changed the third test date to Friday, because that was the subject I was most confused about. I think I did fairly well; however, we will see... Honestly, I am sad for this short semester to be over. Normally I dislike math with a burning passion (which I think is because I did not understand it completely), but this has been an enjoyable time! If I could take every class like this, I would. There is a lot of busy work because it is all packed into a short period of time, but it manageable. I did a couple of fun things this week, to start off the summer. My friend in Mason opened a pizza restaurant that has both Chicago and New York style pizza, and let me tell you, it is amazing. Whoever reads this should check it out! It's called Two Cities Pizza. I believe they opened 7 months ago. Anyway, this past Friday, they had a block party celebrating their winning Best Pizza in Cincinnati. That was huge for th...

This week has flown by and has been somewhat enjoyable. The weather has been beautiful, which is nice because you can do homework outside! It's perfect for campfires as well, so needless to say, I've been putting down the s'mores. It's really amazing if you use Reese's instead of plain chocolate. Oh man... So amazing. Another fabulous campfire treat is roasted peeps. The sugar caramelizes and when it cools, it creates a hard covering that is so heavenly. I have accomplished many things this week; however, I will say, this weeks homework was the most challenging to me. Not because of the quantity, rather the material. If I spent long enough I would eventually get it, but it started to get frustrating. Another frustration was mymathlab. For some reason, some of the grid homework questions would just freeze every time I would try to do them *eye roll*. Anyway, the week itself has been nice. I babysat my friend's 2-year old on Saturday, which was more pleasant than ...

The end of the week meets me again, and I barely remember it starting. It went by so incredibly fast! I went to a wedding yesterday (Saturday), which was a lot of fun. It was two of my close friends, so it was a lot of fun. She looked absolutely beautiful and he looked nice, too. I love weddings. An accomplishment this week would probably be that I attempted to run... Well, I ended walking mostly. I think I ran for a total of 1 minute out of 35 minutes... It was 3.5 miles in the end, though, so something was accomplished. I so wish I were one of those people who could get up and run a marathon no problem, but no! Slow and steady wins the race, so at my pace, I'm first place! I went shopping with my sister, for the purpose of finding her an outfit for the wedding. One huge challenge was going shopping without buying anything (Spoiler: I bought two dresses). With that said, I believe something I learned was that I am a shopaholic... Isn't that terrible? How does a person fix th...
