I find March a very interesting month. It is the tail end of winter, so it is still cold and frosty. But spring is also coming, so there is more sunlight and flowers start to pop up and the birds get very, very noisy arguing about whatever it is birds argue about in the wee hours of the morning. It doesn't really have any official holidays unless perhaps Easter falls during the month, so for the duration of my college career the entire month of March is a marathon of projects and tests that doesn't let up until you crash into finals in April.
This year is not exception, though tests aren't to blame this time around. Now it's shifts and a paper for my professor.
It's too bad, because I would like to celebrate the first flowers and actually make myself a cake for once. Besides, March 14 is Pi day (March 14 = 3/14 = 3.14 . . .) and Einstein's birthday, so every physicist should have a chance to celebrate.
I made a cake. It didn't turn out so well.
The crumb coating was an improvement over the streaky frosting--trust me on that one. The frosting was butter-based (I would normally use shortening, too, but I can't find it here), and I think it too warm. At least now I am highly motivated to improve my frosting recipes.
At least it tasted good.
Definitely good to have when faced with a paper. And I am inspired to try again, when I get everything finished. Until then, Happy Birthday Einstein!
