Distractions


Don't get me wrong: I always pay attention in class. I show up, I take notes, I raise my hand. But sometime between discussions of the travails of North Korean POWs and the carbon sink of Wisconsin, I got distracted.

I find myself obsessively Googling chocolate recipes. Not just any chocolate recipe - molded chocolates. My sister got me interested in making chocolates when she asked me to bring home chocolate molds from a trip to Paris last year. The trip to the kitchen supply store, complete with an entire candy mold section, was a life-changing experience. I got her some little heart molds - perfect for Valentine's Day.

I may blame this lack of concentration on the advent of Valentine's Day, but, as with many of the fairer sex, chocolate is a year-round preoccupation. But just so I can make up for any lost time in classes, I'll be sure to study the Geneva Conventions extra carefully - in between batches des petits bon-bons for my favorite valentines.
