I'm sure you can tell from the lack of posting/commenting, school has taken over my life. I am pretty much at school or doing something for school from 8 in the morning until I go to sleep around 11 every night. It's madness how much work I have, especially for my chemistry class and lab. I seriously don't remember college being this rough . . . but I have been out for about 6 years. Plus, summer session is only about 8 weeks, so it is like whirlwind and flash taking 3 classes in that short amount of time. Not the best way to start college, but I only have 6 more weeks!
Jared and I are seriously on opposite schedules, so I barely get to hang out with him these days. Sucks a lot! Nearly as horrible is that my eating habits have gone down the drain. My head has been so into books that I have been not eating all that much. I have a hard time breaking away from studying and feel a bit guilty when I know I could be doing extra work . . . so, forget cooking and baking for fun. It's basically survival eating, which is not fun at all.
I was feeling bad for not making anything special for Jared, so last night during a brief break, I made an open-faced style apple turnover bake with all the apples we've had a round for a while and a frozen puff pastry I have been wanting to get out the house. It was just okay. Not my best creation, but it didn't stop us from eating it. If we had a little soy ice cream on top, it would have been so much better (as so many things are!)

I know summer school is tough, but like you said, at least it doesn't last for long.
I think your open faced turnovers look delicious!
Ahhh, hang in there with school, Lori!! You'll get through it, for sure!!
Mmm, those turnovers are TOTAL comfort food - yum!! Enjoy :0)
I feel your pain- I am in classes and clinical until the end of July, and I'm already feeling ready to break!
Your turnovers look delicious!
Yum, I've got two apples and a sheet of puff pastry that need using. You've just inspired me!
And hang in there for the next six weeks. It will get easier as you get used to it!
Sorry to hear school's keeping you so busy. Your turnovers are well deserved!
OOooo good luck with your studies - I love Chemistry too, tehee :0) The apple pie looks deliciousss ... mmmm comfort food!
I took a lot of 8 week classes when I was in college - they will kick your ass. I remember learning behavorial statistic in 8 weeks, scary, not fun, and I barely slept!
Good luck making it through, and you can be thankful that, stress aside, it will be over quick.
That turnover looks amazing for something that was just 'ok'. ;-)
sending pixies to lift your spirits (I know pixies and puff pastry with apples always make me feel better)
It's tough, but it's well worth it! I'm on survival cooking too, it sucks...
Wow, that looks good.
that sucks that you guys are on such opposing schedules... but at least your apples look really divine! the cinnamon especially is calling out to me. :o
I'm sending happy thoughts your way!
Good luck with school! You can do it!
Hi Lori, just wanted to drop by and say I was thinking of you. Hope things are going better for you guys!
Sorry you are sooo busy Lori! Yes, I remember how time consuming chemistry was.... hang in there! The summer session will be over before you know it!
