Stockyards, Cake, and Mid-terms

I spent time with various friends this weekend despite the studying and reading I had to do. I reconnected with friends from college - one who gave me a twenty minute notice. She came to town to pick up a friend from airport and since she arrived early, she decided to stop for a little bit. It was great to see her despite the fact it was only 30 min, but I'm glad she stopped!

Meanwhile, Miss Florida Beach Bum has friends coming in from FL visiting her. Of course we had to take her to the stockyards in cowtown. The boots, the hats, the beef, and the smells provided quite the entertainment. Even Miss Texas Two-Step joined us! The funniest was the Florida friend hopping onto the real bull for a photo-op outside the rodeo!

Another highlight was the cake I made for my friends -

No reason, just wanted to make a cake.

On the whole downside is my mid-term on Wednesday. I'm not looking forward to it and at times I get really frustrated - at myself for taking this class, and at my friends who all left me alone and might have an easier professor in the spring. I really don't like this class nor think the subject is really important due to most people not caring all that much about details. Anywho, I only have six more classes left and I'm counting down the hours!
