Internship + Cookies?

Well hello there.

3rd day of this year and I've done absolutely nothing productive. Well, I mean I did start my work out regime and it's going well so far. I'm trying to increase the number of exercises as I go along. I'm obsessed with leg and ass exercises that I tend to neglect my upper body. Mostly my arms. I think part of the reason why I do that is because I can never envision myself with nice toned arms so I don't really have a goal but now, I've changed that mentality and have been doing full body exercises.

My days have been spent with me exercising, eating, sleeping and just lying around in bed. I haven't done anything special but a part of me is just trying to utilise my time before my internship starts. I'm pretty nervous yet excited for my internship. Nervous because of the impression I might make tho that is entirely up to me. I'm a pretty curious person so I'm sure I won't be uninterested but I received a comment at my last internship that I wasn't too interested but that was from one of the bosses. The other boss said otherwise so I was pretty confused by then. Of course the boss that said that I seem like I was uninterested did not observe me throughout the whole internship but the other one did. However, no matter who it is or whether they observe me once or throughout the whole internship, I don't want to EVER leave an impression that I am uninterested because one, I know I am because I am a genuinely curious person who loves to learn. Two, I know these people are taking their time off just to teach me when they could be doing their own things and I'm extremely grateful for that. Three, it's a learning process: I could think I'm showing interest when someone else could think otherwise so it's always good to have feedback. I know to the boss that commented that to me, it might not seem like a big deal to him. I am confident he doesn't even think about it because he has better things to do but even though, I was hurt by that comment, I am glad he made it so I can better myself. A part of me felt frustrated because it seemed like I didn't "perfect" the internship experience (being the perfectionist that I am) but I know it isn't about getting it right the first time, or even the second time but always improving oneself whenever I can. I was nervous writing this out because they always say to never publish about your work on the internet but since this is a past experience, I just wanted to rant a bit.

On a brighter note, I baked cookies yesterday! I've been trying to bake the perfect chewy cookies that Subway makes (Funny since Subway is known for its sandwiches and not its cookies). I came closer to it today! I'm really happy about how it turned out! I'm not someone who loves to follow recipes. I'm more of a "agak" - kinda person. More than often because I don't have all the ingredients. Here are some pictures I took:




I used Martha Stewart's recipe (How can you go wrong with Martha Stewart, right?)! But like I said, I didn't follow the recipe exactly. I added cornflakes to mine to give it that crunch and chewiness too! I don't know if this was a fluke so one day, I'm going to try again but maybe with brown sugar this time!

I'm definitely going to be trying out new recipes since I have an oven at home! Not just sweet treats but savoury ones as well!

Time to watch Gone Girl with the boy :)

Good night!

PS I don't proof-read my posts so I apologise for any grammatical mistakes.
