Last Wednesday marked 100 days until we graduate from Whitman (assuming all senior exams go well...), so the senior class committee planned a party to mark the occasion. Rachel, Marisa, and I decided we should probably go. What if it was super fun and we regretted for our whole lives not doing more senior-y things?! We had other things going on that evening, so by the time we got there the party had been going for almost an hour. There were snacks, but no plates, so snacking wasn't really an option, and everyone there had already divided up into little groups, so we felt a little uncomfortable hovering by the food we weren't planning on eating. After a few minutes (five at the most) we decided to walk to Safeway and buy ice cream. Rachel also bought a Valentine's Day balloon. (She is always wanting to buy balloons or decorations that litter Safeway around any holiday.) I would say it was an appropriate way to celebrate! Perhaps at the next count-down party we'll arrive early enough to procure some plates. :)
We have an artist in the house! Rachel has a 3-D collage featured in the Stevens Gallery in Reid Campus Center! Great job Rachel! She even worked in her signature moose.

The weather has been improving!
Nothing like blue sky. |
I don't know how it started, but as long as I can remember it has been a tradition in my house to have strawberry waffles on Valentine's Day. Normally we would have them for dinner, unless Valentine's Day fell on a weekend, then we would have them for breakfast. I don't have a waffle iron at school, so I decided Marisa and I (Rachel is in Seattle for the weekend) would make strawberry pancakes instead. Then one day I was eating lunch, and looked up to see the heart shaped cookie cutters on the shelf. That's when I got the excellent idea to make heart shaped pancakes! It worked really well, and they couldn't be cuter!

Enjoy the rest of your long weekend, and the wonders of spring approaching.
