Life In Slow Motion

I’m DONE! Cannot wait for life to slow down significantly! Today I slept until 1015am and let me tell you that hasn’t happened in a long time. For the past few weeks actually, I have been going to bed around 11 and waking up no later than 5. So obviously I was doing this, a lot.

Yesterday I wrote my last exam ever at the University of Ottawa. I have spent most of my days with LA because we were both cramming like it was our day job for exams and papers. Our exams always seemed to fall on the same days, and we were both finishing up our last one together in quantitative research methods.. erm fun?! Not.

Our study sessions typically looked like this:

And one day we thought we’d be really big keeners and decided to go to a 7am Greco class and then study all day. Needless to say this is what we felt like for the rest of the day…

Anywho, yesterday’s exam was multiple choice which was fine but I kid you not I was so tired at one point during the exam that my eyes were getting blurry. You know how that happens sometimes especially when you’re reading a book? You’re eyes just kinda glaze over? Oh yeah, that happened to me. So after I finished the bad boy, I waited for LA, and it hit me that I just finished my very last exam at uOttawa ever.. Kinda sad actually. It’s a really strange feeling to be so happy yet sad at the same time? I feel like that will be happening to me a lot over the next 12 (yes, only 12) days.

So now my days leading up to Christmas will look like this

Just kidding. I have plenty to do over the next little while. Here’s my list.

1. Strategically pack clothes – aka, sort clothes and give LOADS of them to the Salvation Army – I don’t wear most of them anyways

2. Send suitcases on the Greyhound to Victoria 

3. Continue to work 

4. Hang out with all the people I love before I leave. Nadz being one of them.. our schedules always collide and I seriously haven’t seen her in ages, gah  

5. Enjoy all of my favourite things in Ottawa one last time before I go. – walk around parliament, hang out in the market, stroll around Westboro, eat at my favourite restaurant – all those good things! 

6. Run along the canal as often as I can.. I’ll miss it. 

 

So that is that! Here are just a few shots of the past little while

Some of my Lulu loves… excuse our ridiculously scary eyes!

Lunch at Market Organics
Max is home already, so he sent me this beautiful picture from our balcony..gosh I cannot wait to be there soon.

Dora sent me a little Christmas package – Love.

I completed a 25pg paper on GMOs the other day so Joel Salatin is my new hero, and I want to go work on a farm.

and now I am noticing more and more unnatural things. LOOK at the size of this, that’s not normal.

and I’ll leave ya with a few of my favourites

Have to add this one of course, how appropriate.
