Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register.

Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
