Hey!
Wow, it feels good to be blogging again. I decided to take an impromptu (obviously since my last post was the lead-up to a never published entry) blog hiatus. It's funny, because nearly every day this week I've been thinking "wow, this would be an awesome blog entry!", but never sat down to write it. So this time, I thought I'd just give an update.
Monday: I got a midterm back. Pretty sure I rocked it when I finished writing it. Well, it turns out, I got my lowest grade since like second year. It hurt the ego bad. BAD. So, I made sure to read the prof's comments and she does have a point, I just wish the mistakes I made hadn't have cut down my grade so bad. So for the whole class (since I picked it up at the start) and the few hours afterwards I was in a depressed daze. I have worked SO hard this semester and to get a blow like that was devastating. Y'know what happened later though? I was actually thankful for my French class! I have been sooooo bored in class and pretty much dread going every time. However, on this day, we were getting our graded translations back. Turns out, I got an almost perfect score! Yay!!! So he read mine (and a couple others') translations out to the class. Totally gave me a pick-me-up. It didn't cancel out my poor midterm grade, but it did help a lot.
Tuesday: Tuesday is now my day that I don't have work or classes. In short: it's my new favorite day. This Tuesday was not my favorite though. After I got back from an appointment at school, I started making dinner. Then, WHAM! I got super sick all of a sudden. I had to call the Primary Secretary to see if she could go to Ward Council for me (since the President has class and the Second Councilor is still learning English). Thankfully her husband had to go already, so he just filled in for the Primary. Yay!
Wednesday: I stayed away from school just incase I had something kind of contageous. I didn't feel so great, but I was able to do stuff, so I went to work and did my hours there. I'm sad I missed my History of Feminism class though, because we were having a guest speaker come in and talk about Virginia Woolf. Too bad. Overall, Wednesday was quite uneventful, so let's move on.
Thursday: Again, I did not go to classes so that I could feel better. I didn't do as much homework as I wanted to, but I did clean the house. That helped a lot. Not for my sickness, but for Friday. Friday's plans were for shopping! So..
Friday: As I was walking to class Friday morning, I had this lucky feeling. The feeling I get before I go shopping when I just know I'm going to find good sales. Classes went well (I guess) and then I went to work. After work, Kyle came and picked me up and we were going to go home, clean frantically and eat dinner. Well, instead, Kyle did his part of the house cleaning while I made a terrible dinner. The dinner tasted good - I thought - but it was not healthy! I made home-made fish and chips. Kyle and I have been eating a lot better lately, so having a piece of fish fried in oil (albeit not a lot of oil) did not settle well in our stomachs. By the time we were ready to go for shopping, it was already 7:00! Terrible! And we hadn't done our managerial cleaning yet, which meant that we couldn't enjoy ourselves as much while shopping. And now I'd lost my lucky feeling. Apparently it was the earlier feeling that was right though! First we went to the store we always go to first: Banana Republic Factory store. This is the best thing to happen to Edmonton since... the Henday! I don't think I bought a thing over $20! Not only had they put half the store on clearance so they can make way for the winter collection, the clearance was 30% off!!! No way!!! I definitely controlled myself though, so I didn't spend too much. On average, we spent $13.60 per item, and that included sweaters! And for the record: Kyle spent more than me. That's right. It was funny though, he bought a shirt that he's already owned... twice. Kyle loves a red polo with white stripes and since we've been together, he has now owned three. I think one of them got a blotch on it, and the other one has been so loved that it is super faded. When I saw it at the till, I made fun of him and told him that was his third. He down-played it and said it was only his second. Later, he admitted it was his third, but that he loves the shirt no less. I still didn't buy what I need most: some skirts, dress pants and cute flat black shoes. Oh well. Guess that means I just have to go shopping again.
Well, I think that should satisfy your blog appetite. I think I'll pick back up on Monday, with something more topic-oriented.
See you then!
XOXO
