"Hamilton" An American Musical

The great musical, Hamilton by the amazing Lin-Manuel Miranda has definitely made my life 10000x better but it has also ruined me. I was introduced to this beauty by the Bookbasement's video. I was intrigued but also a bit put off because I don't usually listen to hip hop/rap music but I am glad I listened to it. I have not stopped since. The musical is basically about our great founding father, Alexander Hamilton. It is his musical memoir. It is so good. LMM did such a good job with the lyrics, they are so rich and witty. LMM even plays Hamilton himself. The show is already on broadway and I am very sad that I won't be able to see it with the original cast because the original cast is A+. And there is no video recording of the show at all. So therefore you must listen to it only through audio, spotify has it as well, click here for link. However, I still completely understood it. I cannot recommend this enough, it is amazing. Some of my favorite songs are:

• Alexander Hamilton
• My shot
• The Schuyler Sisters
• A Winter's Ball
• Helpless
• Satisfied
• The Story of Tonight Reprise
• Yorktown
• Say No To This 
• One Last Time
• Burn
• It's Quiet Uptown
• EVERY SINGLE SONG

Goodbye break...

It is 8:47 p.m as a write this and it is the Sunday before I must return to school. Sigh. This break was great, I actually did many things, here's a short list of some of the things I did or things that occurred:

• Went up north for Christmas, where I had the best time ever. The definite highlight of my break for sure.
• Went to Sacramento where I got really cool socks (books & cats. need I say more?)
• Did the Bean Boozled Challenge
• Went to an aerospace museum
• Read
• Teen Wolf, my all time favorite show came back
• Saw the new Star Wars movie, A+
• Became obsessed with Lin Manuel-Miranda's musical, "Hamilton"

But yeah I'll stop there. Anyways, it is now 9:05 and I should try to get my things ready for school tomorrow and set my 5:30 a.m alarm as well :( Bye. 

Pizza

Pizza..

My best friend.

Who doesn't love pizza? I recently made homemade pizza, dough and all. And it tasted so good! Recipe below:

DOUGH:

2 cups all purpose flour (Plus Extra)

3/4 cup warm water

3 tablespoons Olive Oil (or Vegetable Oil)

1 teaspoon Sea Salt

1 teaspoon honey (or Sugar)

2 1/4 teaspoon Yeast (One packet)

YIELD: 2 PIZZA CRUSTS

Steps:

1. Mix yeast with warm water

2. Mix dry ingredients 

3. Mix dry and wet ingredients together 

4. Combine until it forms ball. This may require more flour.

5. On a floured surface, knead dough for 7-10 minutes

6. Set dough in a bowl, oiled or floured so it won't stick, and cover tightly with plastic or wet towel.

7. Let rise in a warm place for 45-60 minutes, until double in size.

8. Cut in half and roll out. 

9. Fork holes and then add desired toppings.

Also, I brushed Olive Oil on the outer raw crust of the pizza do it'd be crunchy.

WHAT I PUT ON MY PIZZA:

Cheese

Pepperoni
