Happy Easter! (And a announcement)

Happy Easter everyone! As you probably all know I spent my Easter in Cedar City because I came back early from Spring Break to work. I talked to both Mom and Dad last night and they both asked me if I was going to be alone for Easter and what I was doing. I told them I was not going to be alone because my roommate Ariel was here and I was still unsure of what I was doing for dinner. Honestly, I just figured Ariel and I would make our own separate dinners and maybe eat together. Well today Ariel and I decided we would have Easter dinner. I told her I would make the main course because I had some chicken I wanted to use. She said she would provide the side dishes. I made blackened chicken from a recipe I got from supercook.com. (Just so everyone is aware supercook.com is a awesome website where all you have to do is type in what ingredients you have in your kitchen and it will give you recipes. It rocks). We set the table with some dishes we got at DI and these brandy glasses we used once to make a dessert (Yay for the dollar store!) Ariel's side dish was green beans and lentils. I have never had lentils before and I was nervous to eat them because Ariel says when they are just plain they taste like dust. However she added seasoning to it and they tasted pretty good. We had a lively conversation and talked about what our favorite childhood toys were and such (we mostly just talked about our childhood the toy conversation is what stuck out to me the most though). So, this is a picture of our Easter dinner and that is my roommate Ariel.




Now for the announcement.... I learned what my position will be at the Journal next semester! I am the Accent Editor!!!!!! The Accent section is primarily the arts section and more of featured news. I am super excited and I also am getting $20 from the photo editor Blood because he was convinced I would be Sports editor. (We made a bet on it). So, some of the perks of being an editor is I get half-tuition, but since I already have a full-ride scholarship I just get $700 at the beginning of the semester from the newspaper. I also get near $200 every two weeks! So, no more scrubbing toilets for me and I also don't have to write as many articles. I also get my own computer on Editor's row which I am excited for. (Reporters have to share computers). So, I am way excited and I cannot wait for next semester!


Happy Easter!
