Stress & Cupcakes

Oh my goodness I am such a stressed out crazy women right now! I took a test last week & felt HORRIBLE about it! I mean I was convinced without a shadow of a doubt that I made somewhere between a 30-50! I am not kidding I walked out of the test and thought to myself...."Well this will be interesting! I wonder what career I will choose after I fail out of Tech!" NOT a good feeling, especially b/c I missed out on a lot of fun stuff....aka Roxanne's baby shower.....in order to study for this test! Anyway, all that to say that today was the big day that we were getting our test grades back! The class wasn't until 12:30 and as the morning dragged on I started to feel sicker and sicker as I was getting so incredibly nervous about this grade! Anyway I drug myself into the classroom and was just sitting there feeling sick. ( I know I sound like I am being dramatic but I am not exaggerrating at all! I was ill!). Anyway, I got my test back first b/c I am high in the alphabet and did ok!!!!!!!!!!!!! Praise the Lord Hallelujah I am still in grad school & could not be more surprised about this! I cannot wait for the day that I don't live test to test, constantly sleep deprived with a permanent stomach ache!

On a different note, it may be b/c I am just desperate for an outlet admist my busy busy schedule, but I have realized I LOVE baking cakes & cupcakes! I even signed up to take some cake decorating classes in Houston this summer while I am in town doing my internship! I am way to busy with school right now to do anything extra but I have found that when I have time I love baking and have actually become pretty creative when it comes to creating fun desserts in the kitchen! I saw these cupcake online and am going to make them after I finish my midterms this semester! They have fondant icing (which is one of the classes I signed up for) and I thought I would be so proud of myself if I could pull it off! I would have never thought I would be someone that loved to bake but I find myself laying in bed at night imagining all the different kinds of desserts that I could create! Here are the cupcakes that I am going to attempt next weekend! Cute Huh!? Fondant taste kinda nasty to me but they are so cute to look at that I thought I would give them a try! Now if I could just transfer this hobby to cooking actual meals for Lance & I that would be a true success! However, I know cooking is NOT a hobby of mine! I am hoping that after graduate school my "wife skills" come back! B/c as of right now we both totally fend for ourselves and are lucky if we even eat the same thing for dinner! :) Sorry Lance!

Be looking for the pics of my cupcake attempt! Hopefully mine are as cute as these!
