We have began the spring semester! We can never seem to get away from the MATH though...personal finance and statistics for public policy :O If all goes as planned, this will be the last semester with such "mathematical" courses. Fingers crossed guys; I'm only good at counting potatoes and cups, not...all that crazy stuff! All for that degree, eh? Who knew public health had so much craziness involved! Let's just focus on using food as medicine (not numbers!)
Things may (probably not) get a bit slower over here as I readjust to a new busy schedule and workload. We just have to make it till May, let's power through (not sure why I'm saying "we"...it's just "me"). I'm in such a crazy mood right now, from the new semester to this sad rainy weather! I need the weekend! How about you? Let's just chill out with this week's Friday Finisher! Happy weekend, friends!

A few things I loved about my week or am grateful for:
+ So what I was going to tell you last week was that I finally got that new laptop (should have had one on Christmas). I ended up getting so frustrated with the entire ordeal that I splurged on a 15" MacBook Pro. However...I'm, again, starting for regret it. Chrome seems super glitchy on Macs. My cursor disappears and spazzes out. Does this happen to anyone else? Chrome also completely locked up the other day...What browser is best on a Mac (NOT Safari!)
So tell me:
+ What type of laptop/computer do you have? This is my first Mac...
+ Ever take a finance class? This class seems super helpful and interesting...regardless of the math involved!

It's funny to read 'spring semester' while being knee deep in snow here 😉 I hope classes are going well! I don't know how you do it all. As always, I love these posts of yours - it's fun being introduced to new blogs and inspiring articles...and I get to drool over all of these delicious recipes! Oh! I heard about these sprinkles and I'm SO excited!!!
Our hp laptop is on its last leg and we have zero clue what to get - I've heard amazing things about Macs and I've always wanted one, but now hubby is talking about getting a desktop instead of a laptop. Keep me posted on your computer!
Happy weekend, my friend! <3
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
I know! Haha! I always hated the term "spring" semester 😛 Doesn't make sense!
Ah! My Mac! Chrome is just not liking me...I think I have malware on my account (Chrome was glitching on ALL my laptops, but worst with the new Mac) so now I'm just using Safari, but doing certain things on Chrome still! I'll get it figured out eventually! Otherwise I do love the Mac!
Farrah
hehehe, I'm with you there! I need to power through til April (yay for vacation!) but hopefully things will be a-okay on both ends for us! I hope you had a great first week back!
I need an organized pantry + closet. x_x Still faithfully attempting to finish off the food in my pantry/kitchen at the moment!
I want that chicken + soup + noodles. ;_;
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
I would gladly come over and organize for you 😉
Bethany
I love this post! Happy Friday girl!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
You too!
Kristina @ MsModify
I have a MacBook Pro also and use Chrome and have never had issues. Maybe delete Chrome and install it again? I'm not great with computers, so Im probably not great help!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
I'm thinking of doing it that! It was fine Monday and then Tuesday morning went crazy and has been since!
Casey the College Celiac
I'd second that suggestion! Mine seems to work fine with Chrome. Just have to keep it up to date. Good luck!
rachel @ Athletic Avocado
I totally do NOT miss statistics haha. That class was terrible for me, especially since my teacher decided to leave for China in the middle of the semester but somehow I got an A! Not complaining there haha. I have a Mac too and I <3 it!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Do you use Chrome? Why is my bugging out 🙁
Tiffany @ The Chi-Athlete
Always such an awesome resource! Happy weekend, and happy new semester!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine
Every week!
Thanks, ha!
