I can't believe that the first week of October is almost over already. I began my first semester of college as a full time student at the University of Alaska Anchorage this past August and I am already almost half way through my semester. I'm taking 5 classes: Rise of Civilization, Biological Anthropology, English Writing (I'm still horrible at punctuation), Algebra, and Small Group Communications. I have at least one class every day of the week, and 3 of those classes last for near 3 hours a piece. It makes me want to peel my skin to have something better to do. I'm holding fast at a 4.0 so far though.
Time is really flying by and I'm enjoying my time as a Seawolf. But what exactly is a Seawolf? I have no fucking clue, some mystical wolf/sea lion breed made up by the native Alaskan Eskimos I guess? We don't even have a football team, for UAA is all about their boys on the ice. They live and breath for their hockey team which really excites me. I've recently learned that I will be able to have one free ticket per game and my husband can get his ticket for 5$ which is full of sweetness.
While we are still in the month of October, can we talk about Halloween? I've already made 6 pounds of fresh pumpkin puree, made pumpkin pie, and pumpkin pasties. I do not mean nipple pasties, though the idea of pumpkin pastry pasties and nipple pasties has been mentioned, I'm talking about the pastry called a pastie. My husband is a Harry Potter dork and he suggested that I try to make them even though I have no idea what they are. My invention turned out to be really good though. I plan on making some pumpkin cheese cake this weekend, and continue to look for some other bad ass pumpkin recipes that may not be so traditional because that's how I roll.
