If Quizes are Quizzical, then what are Tests?

It is a really good thing I do not drink. Being in this class would get really expensive, and I would be wasted by now. The test was rough. Out of the 16 pages, I left 2 entirely blank, and 3 were just filled with "stuff" I don't expect a ton of points, but it was better than nothing. From talking to others in the class, I don't think anyone did very well. But it is still not a very good feeling. Oh well. We will see how it goes.

In other news: Auntie Donna, I laughed quite a bit at the verse. For those of you not up to date on Hogle lore, My mother and Aunt went a little creative on Halloween, and made paper-mache costumes. My mother made an impressive Snow Man. My Aunt made a Tree costume, complete with leaves that had fallen in their yard (yes for those who are really paying attention, they were in New York at the time not California). When I first saw this picture, I thought there was something a little sad about a little girl dressing up as a tree. Anyways... it has been a point of continual bonding between my Aunt and I, mostly in the form of her reminding me of how cool trees are ;). "Every Tree Has Character" So the verse she sent me was Mark 8:24:

     He looked up and said, "I see people: they look like trees walking around."

So an update on the little tree that could: It is still chugging away.

Don't worry! I picked up the trash that was trying to suffocate it.

Its leaves are turning colors sort of like this one:

And another tree that caught my eye...

Apparently here in PA, their Evergreens also drop leaves.

Also Today is Larry's Birthday! So I made him a cake!

Not nearly as cool as the fabled "K" cake.

Yep, Funfetti on top of chocolate.
