Class and Coffee: 2011

Monday, March 7

HI BLOG!

I've really missed hanging out here and posting content, but over the last year-ish I've done a horrible job of just that. I'd like to get back into the blog world, but I've decided not to restart that adventure here. Due to some new phases in my life, the "class and coffee" title just didn't fit anymore. So, I've moved over to DaisyGirl Blog at sarahmckone.com/blog. Please feel free to stop by soon!

Your sad-to-be-leaving,
not-going-far, thankful-for-everything,
New Girl Blogger.

Class and Coffee Mantra:

With enough caffeine, you can learn to do anything.

This blog all started with a resolution. My 2009 New Year's Resolution: Use my new life as an opportunity to start making more time for fun hobbies. As a new grad student, aspiring cook, novice knitter and 20's something girlfriend to a great guy... I felt like it was a year for learning. It was a big new year's resolution-- and I basically made it until about October '09. Then, with Grad school and the rest of life hanging in he balance, I had to take a break from the blog world.

As of January 2010, I'm ready to try again. I've learned a lot since last year-- never enough to be called an expert-- and I can't wait to learn more.

The only thing I'm really sure of is that, as the new girl in all areas, this should continue to be a hilarious ride.

@ class.and.coffee,
you'll read about...

More about grad classes at NC State, being a TA, and being that dorky girl who always gets excited for the first day of school

As of 2010, I've been a "new cook" for a year now. I now know the difference between baking powder and baking soda, I know what broil means, and I've even got my own set of measuring spoons.

This blog started as a New Year's resolution; I had no idea how much I would love it! It's been a way to keep in touch with family, track my progress on different hobbies, and blah blah about life as a 20 something. Plus, you get to hear so many amazing stories from others :)

So I started knitting in the summer of 2008 after my Mom taught me how; hoping to show off a couple finished projects here and learn some new tricks as well!
