He liked it

Jim was totally surprised and liked the cake… and the taste!I know some people were wondering how I did this cake. The bun is two yellow cakes, frosted. The meat patty is a brownie and the condiments are fondant. The sesame seeds are sprinkles 🙂

Some recent eats:

This was my first time trying Amy’s soup and I thought it was kind of spicy.. weird?!

Erika’s Chickpea Feta Salad … it was SO good! 

Carrot-ginger soup. Such a good combo. I’ll be posting the recipe soon enough 😉

**********************************

In other news: Today Jim turns 21 and we are going out with his family to their local Korean restaurant. This restaurant is delish. Jim and I used to be addicted when we were first dating. I love how Korean food clears the sinuses!

I am going to start running today. (Probably 6 miles) I’ll let ya’ll know how I feel and hopefully remember to update my Daily Mile for Hollie, LOLZ. 

I plan on taking tomorrow off of running and then on Saturday I’ll legit start my cross country’s program of running 7 days a week :/ nervous muchhhh.

What do you think of Amy’s soups?

Does anyone else feel like running 7 days a week is crazy?

Do you like Korean food?

Decisions, Decisions-I need your help!

Like I said in my post yesterday, I visited a college that I am looking to transfer to next year. Nobody that I met could believe I was already in college. *sigh*

So my mom and I headed to Seton Hill for the afternoon to meet with the track/cross country coach, have lunch w/ the team, and get a campus tour.

It is pretty and that hill is dubbed the ‘cross country hill’… scary.

We even got our very own parking spot!

The lunch with some people on the track/cross country team was nice, everyone seemed pretty normal and friendly. The dining hall was very nice as well, lots of options! The dorms were just .. okay, but what do you expect-it is college.

Did I mention I was accepted? Well I am. The only issue is the price. The tuition is around $37,000. That is insane. My family does not get any financial aid. I am working with the coach and school to be able to get scholarships so we will see.

I don’t have a problem with Penn State (Where I go  now)

I am a commuter to the New Kensington campus. I like living at home and I like all of my classes (except math!!!).

So why Seton Hill?

I guess because I know they offer a better education that will challenge me.

I will be living away from home for the first time (gulp..). [Note: it is only 30 min. away]

I was recruited to be on the cross country, indoor, and outdoor track team.

It is bigger than Penn State New Kensington by 1,200 students.

So at this point, if I can get enough scholarships, I am good to transfer. But I am having mixed emotions. I love my little college now, but maybe more opportunities await me at a bigger and ‘better’ college. Of course I have been praying non stop about this. But I like all my bloggy friends opinions…

In your opinion/from your own experiences: Should I stay at Penn State or go to Seton Hill?
