Whew, it's been a while since I've been able to post.  School's been a little crazy, and I've been enjoying some time with my boyfriend.  We've found some local hiking trails and have been loving getting out of our little place to explore Chapel Hill, as neither of us are from around here.  

Anyways, I ended up making that bread but it was a flop.  I don't think my dough was dry enough-- I'll try again soon though.

We're carving our pumpkins tonight-- procrastinators as ever.  

Seeds all ready to roast:



Wonder what I'll carve?  Our blank canvases:


Since I don't have a creative bone in my body, I wonder how much creativity I'll be able to muster. :)

Fall Break

Whew! So, I've made it through 9 weeks of school and now it's time for FALL BREAK!  I am so looking forward to sleeping in (who am I kidding?  I can't sleep past 7:30am), staying in my pajamas all day (I do that already), and catching up on school work.  Wow, doesn't sound like much of a fall break.  Womp womp.

On the up side, I'm thinking about making bread today.  If it works, I'll post the process.  Wish me luck!


Here it goes!

Hi!  I'm Allison.  

I'm a recent college graduate and now PharmD candidate.  That's a Doctorate of Pharmacy, and I'll (hopefully) become a licensed pharmacist when this is all said and done.  I've found the transition from undergrad to professional school to be a little...challenging, and I'm feeling like having a place for me to talk it out may be a good thing.  

I'm hoping this little blog can become a place for me to share my feelings (constructively and positively) and my passion for other hobbies like cooking, baking, and shenanigans with my high school sweetheart.  I adore food.  Everything about it makes me happy.  I have a passion for being health and healthy eating, but I also love butter and bacon.  

Basically, my life is about finding balance.  Healthy...unhealthy.  School...fun.  Friends...family.  I hope you'll join me while I figure it all out!
