Short Classes, Good Grades and Dessert

Thank God for short classes. After a massively long day that started last night when I couldn't sleep, we were released from our lecture classes approximately 90 minutes early this evening. We were even given a 20 minute break this evening between classes. There is one guy that isn't in the first session and we had to wait for him to show up to start our next class. We really would have gotten out early had he been there when we were ready to go on. I left class and decided that I was too tired to cook something for dinner and wasn't really sure what I wanted to eat.

During our break I went up to the computer lab in the back of the library, because I was told that our midterm grades were posted to the website today. I wanted to see what mine was. A, A, A, A. Woo Hoo! That is certainly a good start and not bad for a 30 year old going back to school after being out for 6 1/2 years. This news made my night... especially since I decided that it was a good justification for dessert.

Close to my apartment is a Boston Market Rotisserie Grill. From the menu it looks like this is the only one in the state. I had chipotle meatloaf and mashed potatoes. It was really good but I didn't finish it all, 1) I can eat the rest for lunch tomorrow after I SLEEP LATE, and 2) I wanted my sweet reward.

The thing about being new to Dallas is you can use the .... "yeah, I just moved here, what's good?" excuse and I've gotten a good many suggestions so far. A classmate told me to go get dessert at The Asian Mint, Asian Fusion Cafe and Dessert Bar. I ordered a Tiramisu which was very good, and a Coconut Custard with Sticky Rice, which I got for tomorrow. The sushi looked wonderful and I'm sure there are plenty more things on the menu I am going to try. They are open until 3am on Friday and Saturday evenings... sounds like a great after class spot for some good Thai food.

Good night all. Post more later. Pictures of Eggs and Country Biscuits should be posted tomorrow evening after class.
