    Hot Chocolate - Winter Is Here


    It's most definitely winter here in Scotland. Freezing cold temperatures. Torturous winds. And hot chocolate. yummy! I just made my first official winter cup of hot chocolate. Don't get my wrong I have not been abstaining from the drink, but just purchasing it sporadically while in the city. My mom and I used to make the easy type...you boil some water in the microwave and then add the powder. While I added the powder to mine, I had to heat milk on the stove. My first time to use milk, and now I know why...milk really stinks when you heat it up. It reminded me of people warming up baby formula. SICK!

    Nonetheless, my hot chocolate is delicious!

    Today I was an absolute bum, so now I'm paying for it a little bit. I'm editing the first draft of my article. I have already edited it and submitted it to my supervisor, but it definitely needs work. I had kind of hit a wall with writing and doing research, however yesterday I got some needed energy. I attended the presentation of a research fellow in my institute who does similar work which was super useful for me.

    I also need to get quite a few job applications done tonight. Luckily many of them are just a CV and cover letter. I have a template for each that I manipulate and re-arrange depending on the type of job, qualities desired, etc.
