WINDING DOWN.

I’m glad to say that the semester is finally starting to wind down for me. I still have a lot of work to do but I guess in the end classes and all this stress will be over on Thursday. This summer is already going to be a very busy one with a lot of traveling. I’m going to start off in Florida and later on I will be going to Canada. I can’t wait!

Lessons Learned

Recently in class we were given a letter that was written by a girl to a guy that she could either love or hate. At first I didn’t really understand how that could be possible but the letter had no type of punctuation. When I proofread my letter I made it a love letter and then Prof. Nixon had someone read their love letter and it was different from mine. The letter could vary from how a person proofread the paper. After that a person was called on to read the hate letter and that worked amazingly well too. I was really surprise. I learned that punctuation is very important. If you don’t do things correctly people may get the wrong impression.

My Magical Cupcake Experience….

Recently when I was home visiting my parents in Savannah, my sister and I went to one of her favorite places, Mabel Francis Potter’s Cupcake Emporium. She brought me into this quaint little cupcake shop located in downtown Savannah, Ga. Being there made me feel as if I have been deprived all my life of this great celebration for my mouth that we like to call cupcakes. As I looked through the glass I was overwhelmed by the assortment of mouthwatering cupcakes like pistachio, french toast, key lime, banana split, and classics like velvet cake and many others. I didn’t know where to begin so I picked some to eat there and took a box or two home. Being there brought out a nostalgic time of elementary school and the excitement of whipped icing and a sweet little cake in a cup. Every bite of the cupcakes were memorable and special. Besides the delectable cupcakes, towards the back there was a display of jewelry, purses, and other little trinkets. Not only were the cupcakes good, but the friendly service made the experience much more personal. My visit to the Cupcake Emporium was magical, I’ll be sure to go back!
