I post really irrelevant stuff here.

I post really irrelevant stuff here. This post will be no different.

Finding the right hair colour I actually like has been a struggle for me. But, alas, I've found it.

It's hard to capture specifically in any light, but it's the prettiest red I've ever had.

It was a beautiful day outside. I figure I would take complete advantage of it!

I headed back to the city after two weeks of Christmas vacation. I had lovely meals at my grandparents. And baked two of my very own cherry cheese cakes. They were delicious.


I stock piled on food before I went back. This was only a quarter of what I bought when I got back into the city. Yeah, I wasn't going to have a repeat of what happened first semesters. I was prepared this time.


 I started setting up the things I got for Christmas. My storage stand was extremely helpful. And of course my television was a lovely. Thanks to Mom and Dad I know have a good television to have my PS3 hooked up to. Game time, everyone come to my house. No, seriously, lets play Alice: Madness Returns guys.

I woke up a little stuffed up. So I made soup in a cup, sat in my pajamas and watched 2 Broke Girls. The best show on television. Oh, and cream of chicken soup I've discovered is really good.

I bundled up, the temperature hit -38 and I was prepared. I wore three layers, wool socks, parka jacket, scarf, hat, mitts, and insulated boots. There was no cold getting at this girl.

I went to the mall. I wanted to get something from mall for myself, luckily I stumbled upon a Boxing Day sale. I found this Hello Kitty tin, that had stickers, pencils and erasers.

I used the stickers to decorate my laptop. Now my laptop is super cute!

I had a great day today, despite the cold weather and the lack of company. Lenny returns on Sunday which probably be the most exciting of my break.

What did you do today?

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.
