THE FINAL SEVEN WEEKS (and muffins)

If you can believe it, yesterday I began the last seven weeks of my undergraduate time at Coe. I feel like I keep saying this feels so crazy, but I just don't think I can say it enough.

I picked up my degree audit today, so graduation is most definitely on the horizon. While graduation is near, for me, tackling the next few weeks will be my biggest challenge. Lots is happening before the end of March so it's time to buckle down and get work done. The biggest project I have on my plate is finishing up my thesis. Melissa (thesis advisor) and I are planning on having me defend my thesis by the end of March. While that is exciting, it's also a little scary. My thesis is in good shape, but lots needs to be done before I am ready to defend it. Aka it's revision time!

The other project I'll be tackling is deciding on my post-graduation plans (aka graduate school). See my post tomorrow with my Spring Break recap for more information.

With all this a happening, it's easy to see how I could be a little stressed. Lucky for me, I've got a great friend Millie and we've got our muffins. So amid stress yesterday, we took a break and made some muffins. Did you expect anything but? We decided to revise an old recipe, the mocha-almond muffins, but substitute chocolate chips for the almonds. We also got to try out our brand new muffin pan (big shout out to Grandma Joan for the snazzy muffin pan birthday gift) while wearing our new muffins aprons (big shout out to Millie's mom for our equally snazzy aprons). The muffins turned out to be delicious and our stress was averted.

Isn't that a nice pan? 
Make sure to check back tomorrow for my Spring Break recap and then again on Thursday for exciting news about my final Coe College May Term!
