things I learned this week

Today I learned the hard way that milk chocolate chips are no substitute for semi-sweet chocolate chips. See, I took a break tonight to bake cupcakes for tomorrow's colloquium. My recipe for chocolate buttercream frosting called for melted semi-sweet chocolate chips. I tried to use milk chocolate chips instead; this resulted in this horrible, soupy chocolate mess. So, I made a vanilla buttercream frosting instead.

The other day in the library, I came to the realization that I study public law. I always thought of myself as someone who studies race and gender politics, not public law. But, apparently, I do. I mean, how many times can a girl find herself in the law section of the library and not put two and two together?
