I still have depression and anxiety. It's why I can't stay awake past 10 to study, but I can stay up until 1 in the morning drawing, cutting, and stringing tiny paper ornaments for the tiny Christmas tree I bought for my flat earlier that day. It's why I can think of a bunch of things I really want to do but I only lie there in bed with my shower towel still wrapped around my head because I don't want to move.

When I look back, a lot happened in my life two years ago. It was a rough time, but two years ago today was the day that life turned around and took a fresh, new direction. I make it a point to not post much on Facebook anymore (so I'm posting here), and I try to keep myself from getting personal or mushy, but the time that I've been here at Franciscan has been . . . . Every time I think back over the past few years, it just blows me away – I can't wrap my head around all the amazing adventures I've had. I made a variety of friends, and I cherish every person, especially those I don't have to put up with anymore ;P Now, I'm a chronic loner, but two years ago today, I gave my anxiety a sedative and offered somebody a permanent spot in my life. He promised always to be there. Three months ago to the day, he asked me to marry him. May 30th, we'll fulfill that promise. And we'll go on fulfilling it until death do us part. It was a long week. Monday came too soon. Tuesday was a big exam. Wednesday felt like Friday. Thursday felt like Friday. Today feels like the end of time.
True to the season, a lot of people have been getting sick. And now I'm beginning to feel unwell also. Although, now that it's the weekend, this feeling might just be my body saying, "Alright, now CHILL. OUT." It's going to be a packed weekend, however, so I can't get too comfortable with my pillow. May I introduce my new blog? I missed Cookbook Tuesday! Ah well. No harm done, I'm sure.
The reason I missed was because classes started this week! AHHHHHHH!!! I'm actually feeling very calm about it. So far, my new mottos are:
I'm living in the on-campus apartments this year which, so far, is much, much preferable to living in the dorms. At least for me. I have my own room, my own space. I have a kitchen and a living room, and I'm not far from the academic buildings so the walk in the morning isn't long. But anyway, you're here for the recipe, aren't you! This week, I'd like to share a marinara recipe with you. It's very quick, and it has a bit of a bite to it. It's a feisty, smooth, thick marinara–– In a small saucepan, saute:
in a fourth cup of vegetable oil. This only takes a few minutes to get it nice and hot. If you don't want it "hot," leave out some of the red pepper flakes. Then pour and stir in a 28 ounce can of diced tomatoes and simmer until it's hot through and through. And that's it! I think I got it from Barefeet in the Kitchen, but as you can see, I like it with a little spunk. It's super tasty, it isn't runny, and it's delicious. Take my word for it and try it. [Note: If you put in 2 TABLESPOONS of red pepper flakes, it will be too hot and angry to eat. I know from experience.] |
