Shrimp Scampi Pasta



This post is long overdue.  I know the one hard and fast rule of blogging is like the most important rule of poop: stay regular.

But, I do have a fairly good excuse.  I've been applying to grad schools for the past two months or so.  To Masters programs in French education, to be specific.  I'm applying to five schools, in all different states across the eastern half of the country, so I have no idea where I might be this time next year, and that's quite scary and exciting!

In the past two months or so, I've taken the GRE, the OPI, and the PRAXIS tests, all of which are either long, exhausting, or, as Kyle would say, a super-special combination of the two.  And then I've been editing my entrance essay, my personal statement, saying why I would be an awesome candidate and teacher and outlining my unique and interesting journey to where I am today.  And then getting together the mounds of extra paperwork to send to the various schools.  Honestly, with grad school applications AND Christmas gifts, I don't think my mailbox has had this much activity since... ever.  So.  That's what I've been up to.

How about you?  What are you up to?  What did you do (and eat!) for the holidays?
