More to report than I thought:

This week a fellow political science colleague/friend, Hailey, asked me if I had updated my blog. Sadly, the answer was no, and I cannot let my fans down. This is my attempt on updating:

I do not have anything exciting to report this week. I have done normal things. Homework (or lack thereof), internship, and just living in Rexburg, Idaho.

Actually, I do have something pretty awesome to announce. I, Aisha, applied to me first BIG GIRL JOB! I know I know, hold the applause. I do not want to jinx it, but it is in Utah. I was doubting myself and thinking I would not get it but then I thought, "Hey, why not?!" So I went for it. It felt so official to be applying for a real job. I have always had jobs, but this is a real job that I could be at for 5+ years! 

My internship is going well. It is at Rexburg City Hall. It is a slow gig, but I am learning a lot about local government. I really enjoy the people and I am getting special assignments. Next week, I am going to start transcribing City Council meeting minutes. I am so excited to listen to hours of planning and zoning meetings! (: 

This weekend is a three day weekend. Saturday, I did not do any homework! It was spent with Erica going to Idaho Falls to redeem my steak winning. Last semester we made a bet, she said that every roommate she has had been engaged/got engaged with rooming her and I would be the next victim. I told her, "NO WAY!" so we bet steak. Clearly, I won. That is two steak bets I have won in two years! We also went to Barnes and Noble, my home away from home. Where I picked up this book -------->

I am super excited to start it! It is Paula Hawkins' first book and it is a thriller, which is a genre I have not really dipped my nose in. (And with that said, it fits into the 2015 reading challenge!!). 

Speaking of lists, I tried a recipe off of Pinterst, It was a really simple crock-pot recipe. I think it turned out decent. I really love how crock-pots are and I need to be better at using them. How amazing that you can throw a bunch of food into the crock-pot in the morning and be all ready to eat after church, or whenever you are ready. The recipe is just called, "Super Easy Chicken". It was not brain surgery. I will try to to challenge myself in another recipe. I put down on my 101 list  to try 5 recipes, but I feel like I should up that. I will consider that if I get to 5. haha. So here is the recipe for the Super Easy Chicken. 

Ingredients

• Frozen Chicken Breasts (about 5)

• 1 Can of Rotel

• 1 Can of Corn

• 1 8oz block of Cream Cheese

• 1 can of beans (kidney, garbanzo, pinto or any kind you like)

I used black beans. And the cream cheese stayed chunky, when I thought it would melt and be creamy.I also added in a can of chicken broth, the recipe said water, but I wanted more flavor and I also used garlic salt.  Overall, it was good and I have enough to make it again. I personal would make rice to go with it for next time. It took about 5 minutes to throw everything together. I did it this morning while my shower was warming up. (In my apartment it takes forever for the water to get warm). If you want something really easy and filling, I would highly recommend this recipe. 

Wow. I guess more happened than I thought. I hope this was not too boring for you to read, because it was pretty exciting for me to write! Have a great week everyone!
