Artist Date

For my date with myself, i baked chocolate chip cookies. I never really did this because I never had the patience for it, I'd usually be the one to eat what my friends bake. I used the "easy-step" process in baking cookies, like the type you just add water and eggs, mix then form. As I have mentioned I never really had the patience for this so i thought of a compromise. While I was baking alone, i thought of many different random things. At first, i thought of course the procedure and getting it right. Second, the part where I was thinking of random things was the mixing part and forming, since I was doing something repetitive my mind strayed away from it and thought of other things, especially with the silence. I thought of my upcoming football game with our biggest competitor and winning against them, i thought of school work and if I had to do something rather than bake (thank God there wasn't), thought of shopping and what I maybe want, I thought of what I would do while waiting for the cookies to bake, wondered if the cookies would taste okay etc. It felt relieving in a way because I got to somehow organize priorities and feel a bit risky because it is something that you haven't done and for the first time you are just making guesses if you are doing the right thing. It is a good way for me to get to know myself because by doing something I don't do, I tend to experiment on myself to the extent and learn something new.
