Life of a Short Indian Girl

Is it just me who thinks time has been going SO fast recently? It feels like just yesterday we were complaining about having to knuckle down with our personal statements. I suppose it's good on the one hand because the week doesn't drag so much, but exams and the prospect of university life are getting scarily close. But enough of the heavy, here are some thoughts that most of us have during the week.... Monday: Don't talk to me in the morning, I'm tired. Don't look at my face, I'm tired. Don't expect me to sing a hymn, I'm tired. Especially if it's Guide Me O Thou Great Redeemer (come on Mandy, at least give us Shine Jesus Shine).  SO tired.   PLEASE let this be the week I have a free 1&2 so I have time to do that econ essay I should've done over the weekend. Just get me hoooooooome Tuesday: HOW IS IT ONLY TUESDAY? Aah, it's our form assembly today. Now, how many quotes and youtube clips can we play to fill up 20 minutes? Well let

The half term boredom hit hard yesterday (there are only so many Sudokus I can do before my head starts to hurt), so I decided it was time for a little bit of baking. I haven't baked since summer-  crazy, I know- ,  so I decided to use the time I should've been revising to knock up some baked goods. I went for brownies, because I was really feeling the chocolate vibes, and I actually haven't made them before. I realised half way through making the batter that we only had 1 egg in the house.... and no walnuts... and I had forgotten to melt the butter. So I slightly adapted the recipe and braced myself for a potential disaster.  But I'm not even joking, they turned out amazing! Gooey, soft and reeeaallly chocolatey. SO, here is my (by default) unique recipe: 200g caster sugar, 125g butter, 30g cocoa powder, 1 egg, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, pinch of baking powder, pinch of salt and some milk chocolate to crush up/chocolate buttons/nuts/whatever you want
