This week has been way to long. At least I won't have to do another essay test in that class. Plus one more translation quiz out of the way. I felt pretty good about this one too. Writing out the translation the night before really helped.
Tomorrow my Student loan refund check should be here and I can pay my HOA off for the year. Tomorrow evening a plan on having my butt in front of the TV to watch the second season of Doctor who.

Great Escape
*face palms*
Somehow Pumpkin got outside and went into be neighbors condo. She just walked him back over. I'm such a bad mummy because I thought he was still out on the balcony enjoying the weather.
But no he'd somehow sliped out when my girl-friend left this afternoon. Or when I was carrying a case of water in.
I really need to get his tags updated and have a chip put in him.
And Matlida says I must show her as well.

Recipe Friday: Main Course
This is a dish my mum threw together on night from leftovers and became a family hit!
Being a family recipes none of the amount are exact.
Chicken-Pasta
Some chopped bacon
Some chopped chicken breast
Bow-tie pasta
spoonfuls or so of garlic
Bit of extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)
shredded Parmesan and Romano Cheese
In a saucepan on med heat put in the bacon. When the bacon is brown drain off the grease. Add EVOO, garlic, and chicken. Turn down heat to med-low and stir occasional.
Put pasta water on to boil. When water comes to a boil add pasta. Cook pasta to the package specs. Drain and add to saucepan when chicken is cooked. Stir pasta into contents of saucepan.
Take off heat. Stir in shredded cheese to taste.
Plate and serve with a white wine.
It's an easy recipe to tinker with, and you can substitute ham for the bacon or not use it at all. I've also made it without the pasta, with seafood instead of chicken, and with different cheeses. Have fun playing with it and let me know what you think.

Read for Fun Wednesday
My 'fun' book for the week as been A Madman Dreams of Turing Machines by Janna Levin
It was featured on the Colbert Report. So far it a interesting read, even if I don't full understand some the theory that is mentioned. I'll let you know my thoughts on it when i finish.
It is fiction but at the same time a 'true' story about the lives Kurt Godel and Alan Turing.

Yes! and No!
I was approved for a student loan!
This means I'll be able to finishing paying off this semester tuition without borrowing from mum, not to mention paying my car insurance and hoa for the rest of the year. That I'll be able to put some money aside for property taxes.
Now if only I could get my Chaucer translation quiz grades to go UP not down. (Granted it only dropped from a 8 to a 7, and most people in the class had a 6 last time and a 7 this time. But STILL.)
