POST 494

On Monday night it started to snow. It snowed all night, and then all Tuesday. Now it's Wednesday and we finally have lots of snow. Everywhere else seemed to have lots of snow, but for us, it had not snowed since before Halloween. The lack of snow was way more awesome than actually having it... because now it's slushy and disgusting out! Snow is not magical!! lol.
Anyways, things are going well. It's almost the end of the semester, so I had lots of projects to finish up. School ends a week today, and almost every day until then I have something due. Plus I kind of need to start my christmas shopping... so little time! Next week I have three exams... pretty much back to back since they only span over two days. oh dear! And they start the day after school ends... so I virtually have not time to study for them except this weekend while I'm trying to get my projects done. Sounds to me like late night study sessions might finally have to exist for me. lol. At least I can say that by next Friday I'll be done more than half my exams! That will be a rewarding feeling! However, I'm stuck up here in Cold Capital to freeze for quite some time because I have one of those exams in the middle of exam time that's nowhere near my other exams... sounds like some christmas shopping time can be fit in there.

Haircut!

Yes, the facebook status is true, and no I don't want to talk about it. I'm tired of talking about it because everyone is asking me. My thoughts on the subject haven't changed much, but it was delightful to tell everyone one day that my boyfriend had called me when he was stuck in an elevator and I helped him get through the experience. Personally, I would have been sobbing too much by the time they rescued me, but that's because I don't do well with situations hors de mon contrôle.

Anyways, I'm still totally swamped... Three major projects and five exams before the semester is over. But more importantly, one scary application that seriously needs to get started and submitted first. Nevertheless, I have no desire to work on it and such a desire to do my other essays. Oh, and in other school news, I just got back another midterm (yes... from mid October!) today and got 93%!!! Woot... and the other mark in the class is 96%!! So that class is totally good. I still have one more midterm to get back (which I find totally ridiculous!), especially since I have no marks at all in the course as of yet. GRRR!! But most courses are going well (as usual) except for that one where the midterm was just cruel... I haven't gotten a Bs since second year! That was really hard for me to deal with.

Oh well... suck it up and keep going. There are worse things in life than bad grades... such as that evil application I need to fill in.

Happy Halloween!

Now THAT was a good weekend! Starting on Thursday, my faculty had a cocktail party for my department (two martinis and food for only five dollars!). It was a black and white affair at a pub just down the street from my house. I hung out with some of my friends from class and people I used to have class with, so it was nice to see everyone again. One of my friends that lives pretty far off campus came for a sleep over at my place, where my roommate Jenn and I modeled our costumes for her in the wee hours of the morning. lol.
Then Friday night, Halloween night, Jenn made me pizza while we were starting to get ready. Jenn was a bumblebee and I was a ladybug! We were super cute! Anyways, Jessica, the butterfly, came over just while we were still getting ready and then we all headed over to Heather's house to get our nails done. lol. I have ladybug nails! Anyways, Alex was Johnny Cash, and Heather was cat. Matt came by (/get very lost and I had to send a bumblebee out to find him) and then we all headed downtown. It was CRAZY down there!! We were sooo lucky to have left early!! Anyways, after midnight Jenn, Jessica, Matt and I went headed off to a houseparty of one of Jenn's friends and we didn't get back home until after two. There were some really good cotumes at that party, including an awesome Sarah Palin and Shawarma King! lol.
On Saturday, after a meer five hours of sleep, Jenn woke me up and DRAGGED (okay, I went pretty voluntarily) to the grocery store so that we could get super cheap chocolate. Ever since then I've kind of been snacking on chocolate a lot! lol. But it's the good Hershey's stuff. Anyways, later that day (after a much needed nap) Jenn and I went shopping for makeup and clothes. I got two new shirts, one of which I am wearing in the picture. Afterwards, I met up with Craig and we continued shopping (SOOO MADLY IN LOVE WITH SOMETHING FROM TOMMY HILFIGER!!) Then we went for bubble tea... and you won't believe what happened!! THEY WERE OUT OF TAPIOCA!! I didn't think that was even possible. I had to settle for jelly, but it was pretty uncool.
I spent most of Sunday doing homework, a.k.a reading novel for class. November as a whole doesn't look too bad (minus scary applications for next year). However, when you factor in the horribleness of the first week of December, it really ruins the easiness of November. I really need to get everything done super early!
