Am going to have an exciting midterm break.....

So finally I can breathe my midterm exams are over, for the last two weeks I have been consumed with work. I got my rent paid, I bought my books to study and I got a microwave (so no more stovetop 24 7). So our ski trip was cancelled but were still planning to go on our own ( me and the other international students), its going to be an experience. I don't know if I can make it over the bunny hill but at least I will be able to say I've been skiing.

I went to the shop the other day hoping to spend $50 on grocery to last me the month but when I got to the cashier she was like $71.23 am like ..............ahhhhh......Can I put something back becasue I only have $71.08? I had left the rest of my monies back at the apartment, so she had got some spare change and was like ok your good to go, are you walking with all of these bags?....I said "yes". I had two loaves a bread, 12 rolls, about 16 can goods ( tuna, corn, sardines,cream,etc), a 2 litre bottle of soda, a bag a fries, a bag of chicken strips and a few other goods totaling 36 items. My hands were aching, I had to continuously stop because I was tring to make it down a steep hill, the bags were almost heavier than me. When I got to the apartment door I left the bags outside because my hands were in so much pain.

I also went to a sushi party where we made sushi it was interesting they had crab salad, shimp and raw atlantic salmon for the meats. The rice was cooked and cooled the seaweed wraps were taken out, we had some cooked vegetables, cream cheese, soy sauce and some hot green stuff (I forgot the name). So we made the sushi and I tasted the crab and the shrimp, I wasn't doing the raw salmon......no....no....not me. After the first two my mouth said Anna this is not for you, so I listened. But I still got to make some afterwards it was cool.

Anyways I am curently being buried in my apartment because there is a snow storm outside and school is closed yippy.......Cherrios

Midterm is coming and I've been here a month...

So midterm is around the corner and I have yet to get a text book......funny isn't it.....if I had known the processing period was this long I would have tried to buy at least one with the funds I had and maybe just miss out on a few meals.......but a girl's gata eat. Sorry I havent been taking any pics but a camera right now is not affordable and of no priority. Currently at my apartment I don't even have a microwave.....lol.....things really tough.

So the other night my house mate came home and the door has a little disability and he didnt lock the dead lock. When I got up the door was open and the snow was inside because there was stormy weather that night. I mean all in my shoes.....So I tried to get him up by knocking politely on the door,then politely saying his name, then saying I need some help....so why do you think it took him so long to get up, by the time he did I had all the snow back outside where it belonged. But I wasn't going to be ringing out that cold mop....No not I.....so I threw all the shoes in the tub made sure the door could close made breakfast...mind you it was 12:30....then went back to bed. Lets just say my shoes were dry by this morning and so was the floor.

Every class I'm in has a group project......this is something that I really dislike, but I know that everyone has to work in groups at some point. I already got the excuse that a Super Bowl party had to be attended......'Oh Ok' thats all I had to say.

Anyways...there ain much luxury anymore like bubble gum icecream, so with my saltine crackers I gone........Oh and did I mention my rent due again....lol I gata try sweet talk them until Friday.....hopefully they like spaghetti
