=========================================
Comments:
* I didn't have semi-sweet squares, so I made half a recipe and used chocolate chips. For making half a recipe, melt about a little over 1 and a half cups of chips and set stir in the other 1 and a half later on.
* Next time I make it, and if I do a full recipe, I would use the squares for melting and the chips for the un-melted ones rather than try to chop up the squares.
* They look like little rock balls when you roll them, but it's fine.
* Don't overbake them. They look like they're not done, but they set. Mine are kinda hard cuz I overbaked them.
* They're really good!!!
======================================

Well, I have a new book!!! I was looking for a book for my devotions and I decided to break away from the Welwyn and try the "Let's Study" ones. I picked the Ephesians one cuz it's by Sinclair Ferguson and I like his books usually. Anyway, as I was pondering whether to buy it (why can't books be cheaper?!) Andy walked in (this was at the book room at church) and bought it for me. Awwwwww... so now I have a new book! Yayness! Thanks, Andy!!!

I'm going home, God willing, in 123 days. Looks like I'll be going ahead of Andy. I would wait for him, but he's not sure if he's coming or what. Plus, I need to get back and get a job. I'm leaving May 8 at 12:30pm and I arrive around 10:34 in Manila!!! I come back June 6... which is one day over 4 weeks. It will go by too quickly, but oh well. Gotta work!

Uh... 2 months until Spring Break! (Masyadong excited ba?)

The End
