Yesterday discussed today

Hey ladies!

Yesterday when looking at my calendar I realized that I had exactly one week of time until my first exam and only two days after that until my next exam and then only two days after that until my last exam.

So I have less than a week to study for all of that plus my test on Monday. Joy.

There are also a number of things that I’m supposed to be doing between now and when I leave Waterloo for Christmas that I definitely have not done and have no idea when I’m going to do like Christmas shopping and having tea with my Aunt Sparky.

When I was looking at my calendar I also realized that today was still in December and that means I still get to eat chocolate whenever I wake up. Fantastic!

When I was reading over this first few paragraphs of blog I realized I use “also” WAY too much.

So what’s been happening with me? That’s a good question. I can’t really remember anything until I really think about it. That right there shows how much my brain is usually functioning.

Yesterday I broke out my hot chocolate for the first time. It was a good decision. I tried to make it like my friend Tamina (haha, I blame my desire to watch Prince of Persia) makes it which is the most fantastically awesome way to make hot chocolate from generic powder that I’ve ever tasted but I failed quite inexcusably. I mean seriously, growing up my whole life in Canada like I have and going through many Canadian winters with the comfort of powder-from-the-tin hot chocolate I should know that it does, if fact, take half of the entire tin of powder to make a decent cup of hot chocolate. Alas, I have apparently not learned yet. Next time I will do better.

When I arrived at school yesterday I was super excited because I only had one class to attend and, other than attending that one class, all I had to do was drop off my last geophysics assignment which I was super excited to be done with. I got halfway into campus before I realized…

I HAD FORGOTTEN MY ASSIGNMENT! GAHHHHHH!!!!!!!

After mumbling a stream of semi coherent profanities I turned on my heal and walked in a very dignified but speedy manner back to my car and booked it back to my room, picked up my assignment which was RIGHT THERE JUST WAITING TO LEAVE OMG HOW DID I NOT SEE IT THE FIRST TIME?!?!?!, booked it back to school and then proceeded to dignifiedly speed walk to the TAs’ office where I handed it in on time. Phew!

I feel the need to say that I have been listening to Lyra sing me classical music (from soundtracks and from old school composers) on the way to school and must express my appreciation for her beautiful voice. There’s nothing quite like people checking out you and your girlfriend while she belts out The White Tree by Howard Shore and thinking “If they only knew…”

That’s all from me for now as I have a chapter in my psychology textbook about altruism to read. All I can think about while reading it is a certain altruistic bowler with dark hair, green eyes, a liking of chocolate ice cream and a habit for turning up in Core Four photographs… Soo distracting!

I’m going to make some more hot chocolate and then read away.

Much love,
