So one of my biggest problems is writing exams. I haven't been 'diagnosed' with writting exam anxiety but I'm pretty sure thats what happens. I can study my living heart out, but when I go to write I mind blank or my mind starts telling me that I can't do it, or I don't know it. It's a rank battle I fight in my head.
I bring this up because by the time I go to start my finals I will have written minimum one exam a week for 10 weeks straight. I take it as if I have a problem and I just need to face it because well it's how it is.
There is no real way at winning with this. It's either you have a week of midterms and everyone complains, or you space them out and well everyone complains. I think even though I am writting a ton at least I get time to study in between them.
So the last few weeks have been rough on me. I miss my family and friends a ton. I have friends in the program, but not like my friends back home. I honestly feel like I am in time out while here, I find if I take the time to think about friends or talk to them back home it makes me miss them. So I know I come off as an ass but I just keep my head down, trudge through my time here and it goes by fast and then I get to see and hang out with them. I hate to only be able to txt or possibly even skype because I miss our shopping trips, hangouts, and play dates with my godkids.
A recap on the last little while:
I had prac this past monday at RHS:
- Pro was that the people working there were awesome, and super nice.
- Con, not having a car here meant that taxi cost me $25 each way. Why not take the transit you say? Well one way for transit was an hour and 15, taxi time was 15 minutes. I thought about walking home, or at least walking to transit, it was freezing cold. I made it a quarter of the walk to the bus when I found out my boot has a crack in the sole and my foot was getting wet from the slush, my cheeks were freezing. I gave up, went into timmies and called a cab.
Halloween
-I dressed up as Instagram. Big props goes out to my dad for making my costume and shipping it to me. It turned out awesome. It just sucks I couldn't have worn it longer. I was only in class for the morning and then had a midterm the next day so I was a bedroom dweller.
I had other things I was going to write about going out for halloween. I've decided I don't want to write them.
Anyways on to the best part
I was having some down times, no better time to shop online!.... Yes I am a girl, yes I bought a car keychain and key
Sav and I had an adventure the other night. Wasn't funny at the time but I think it is. Her phone was dieing and we didn't have a car charger so we pulled into a parking lot and charged her phone from a plug in lol
Halloween costume
The cakes in the store were awesome as always
Jenna and I had a night after our last midterm. It was well needed. These mini cups are so cute! My aunt sent them to me :D
Went out shopping in the big blizzard. Seems anytime I want to go to Chinook, some crappy weather thing is going on. Was an uneventful shopping trip, just wasn't feeling it. Ended up stopping for groceries on my way home and I swear I got every heavy item on my list :/ did not think that through
Made chocolate chip cookie dough dip. So not on the health plan but I needed it more for mental health.
So if anyone has tips for writing exams/studying send them my way!!
