my nap bud

oh good gully ain't she just so flipping cute!


I have this violet faux fur rug on my couch (because I can totally pull that off) and Darling likes to bury herself in it while I study (or ignore my books and watch tv. just kidding! burn the books and watch tv...)

talking about studying, does anyone have any good brain food suggestions?
I've been 'brain loading' with blueberry soup and avocados for the last couple of weeks, but it's kind of getting old... plus the child in me is not so entertained by the purple mouth anymore.

so tips are very welcome.

and happy first day of spring! oh I can't tell you how happy I am about the increasing amounts of light. makes me all jolly inside (:

the dog days are over

meaning that by tomorrow this time I'll never have to open an english book again in my life
(and that I have been watching glee non stop for the last three hours. purely to refresh my fluency in english, of course)

but mainly because of the whole test thing. because it's a big deal. huge to be exact
I mean it. huuugge

because here in Finland we have what we call ylioppilaskoe. it translates to something like 'over studies exam' ... maybe don't go ask anyone else about that. or they will tell you I'm a fool. (dang it. if I can not translate that how do I think I will pass tomorrows torture????)

so this is it. after taking english since third grade I will now get tested about everything I have ever learned in a big, final, crueling six hours lasting test.

these are my exam food. soda, smoothies and grapes. all label free. yes, our exam board is extremely anal.

yes. 
six hours
maaadddd


I'm a wreck already

but then it's over.

:)

well, for english that is.

next week, geography.



sigh
