Last day of freedom.

Today I woke up at a reasonable hour, picked up a friend and ran errands.
I went to Lowe's to get some screws for my picture holding magnet strip thingy and a screw hook to hang up a lamp. Then to the fruit stand to pick up an application for employment and then to Haggen to get a small amount of stuff for a large amount of money. Immediately upon arrival back at my apartment, I hung out and did nothing for a little bit. I visited a friend that I hadn't seen since being back. I got back to my quarters around 5:30 and started chopping onions for French Onion Soup.

I melted a few tablespoons of butter and added the onions in.

About an hour later....

I added in 5 or 6 cups of the veggie stock that I made yesterday.
I let that brew for about a half an hour and made some toasted bread with melted cheese to go with my soup. When everything was all done, i arranged it just so, took a photo and then consumed. Despite the bland picture, it was quite tasty.

Having acquired a sore throat ( i think my sister is to blame) I took the rest of the evening easy and am planning on an early retirement .
Tomorrow I start classes again. Well, I start class again. I only have math tomorrow, and it is at 10 so I don't have to wake up obscenely early. I am not particularly excited about getting back to this school thing. While in New Zealand, I came to the realization that perpetual vacation life suites me quite well. But I suppose, since I am here, I will give school a chance. I'm sure there are probably good times to be had somewhere in this cold, windy town. I just have to find or invent them.
