Cest la vie!

I've completed all my exams.

I finished the semester with two A's, an A-, a very disappointing B+ and a B-

The B- was just lack of interest in the course. I was shoved in there last minute. As a requirement for something that is no longer my major. But, I will redeem myself next semester. Hopefully. Sometimes working and school is a bad idea. But, cest la vie.

I'm now on holidays. Thank the lord!

But I few things have happened since then.

I got some Christmas gifts from my boyfriend, including glasses, boots and canvases to cure my addiction/obsession with painting.

Those are my new Ray Bans. Thanks to my boyfriend, I can now see. As my vision is no long as "good as it once was"

Also I look awesome in that photo.

I got some fresh vegetables at the market. So I decided to be inspired and make my own batch of homemade soup.

                                     

It was super delicious. I'll post the recipe soon. Check out my other recipes for now.

The weather is also hugely crazy! We've gotten so much snow in this area. I had so much trouble arranging away home this year!

I also made good use of the gift my boyfriend, Leonard, bought me. I found a picture of this abstract/faceless ballerina. It struck me as something symbolic yet, I'm sure just what yet. I made another one, it was a colorful expression of my exam-time stress.

Chicken...and then fall Caesar?

Today, I completed my second exam...in 30 minutes. Holy crap on a cracker. But, I know I at least achieved myself a B-, which I'm okay with it. It doesn't stop there though my friends. I have another, but final, exam on Saturday, at 9 a.m. Clearly the definition of brutal. But, on the bright side, three hours later I can walk away Scott-free, and spend the weeks after biting the finger nails off myself waiting for marks.

Anyway, I hate to depress all of you with my horrible stress and exams. I spent the morning saying goodbye to close friend I've learned to love. She's about as crazy as I am, and I will miss her dearly here at St. Thomas.

Goodbye, Michaela!

She's the blonde beauty on the right! With our match perfect red lips.

But what would a blog post be without food?

For dinner, I had the most wonderful salad, something I have become very addicted to.

Creamy Caesar dressing is the best thing I have ever put to my lips. And not to mention combining it with chicken. Brilliant fucking idea. Then again, most of my ideas have fucking brilliance to them. Well...some. Others may be quite questionable.

Then after some hard side curdling laughter with two of the world's greatest people, I walked home. Slightly cold today, bundle up people of Fredericton, or at least a sweater.

I returned home, and supper was awaiting me. What a lovely thing, eh? Everyone should come home to supper. Not to domestic anyone. That's silly.

Lasagna, rice and meatballs! Yum.

Want some? Sorry, I ate it. I ate ALL of it. Sorry, guys that was rude.

After spending sometime with my face in a book (which I am now back to), I spent a couple of hours at the mall with my friends. Vanessa and Michaela. Since the day I write my last exam Vanessa will be returning home until next year. Which makes me very sad. We'll have a happy reunion next year.

I ate something not as healthy as would have been my intention. Taco Bell!

The day was wonderful, but I must bid you adieu as I have work to complete and another day of studying ahead of me.

New Glasses and Exams

So, I probably shouldn't be blogging considering you know I have an exam on Thursday and there is probably a million things I should be doing...but I'm not. Clearly I am not the person you should be modeling yourself after; at least not when it comes to schooling and work habits.

I mean common it's the end of my first year, I was bound to get lazy at some point. (This was probably the worst time that could happen.)

Anyway, today, I received my glasses from a very pretty delivery lady. I had my eyes tested recently and learned I needed glasses...and needed them soon. So, instead of paying the hefty price that eye care places charge. I ordered my glasses online and hoped that they would be here before I needed to write my exams. And alas they arrive a few hours before my largest of exams.

Sexy, I know. I'll be beating the ladies off with a stick. The glasses were warmly welcomed by apparent football shaped eyes. Hey, we all have a kind of uniqueness. Mine just happens to be oddly shaped eyes.

I wrote my first final university exam today...yikes. It was scary! I write my next Thursday and then the last one on Saturday which next to Aquinas will be my second hardest. So many definitions and they're so long. But, this is university, isn't wasn't meant to be easy, right?

I'm hoping that in the weeks to come my life will come together. The people in my life will be the right people and I can settle my mind into the place it needs to be. And be the farthest away from school, papers and work as it can be.
