Things I Love Thursday - The End of the Semester

Kisses right off the bat!

Hey everybody! 

It's my third-to-last class period of the year... we're doing presentations. In all the classes. A pretty chilled-out way to wrap up the year. Makes for a lot of work at home, and sitting around in the actual class, though. 

Being a good student

My m.o. is always to do my research, make my slides, and then make 'em laugh. If I get a chuckle or two when I'm actually speaking, I consider it a job well done. A paper that was returned to me pointed out that I had major misunderstandings & confusion concerning the assignment. I would agree wholeheartedly, and also point out that there really isn't anything that can be done about it at this point. Will I keep trying in the future? Absolutely. But in the course of learning about statistical analysis, I've learned which numbers don't matter as much, and one of those numbers is my grade. I want to do well, but I also want to pass without beating my head against a wall more than absolutely necessary.

Let's talk about lovely things this week:

AMATO BY FURNE ONE ‘Lady In The Attic’ Collection, from Fashion Runways tumblr

♥ I'm pretty much head over heels for this whole collection. The tiny pearl details! The roses!! The color!!

♥ Wild Hockey!! Someone I know offered me a ticket to go see a game --  my first game ever! I'm thrilled!

♥ Chocolate Babka from Trader Joe's. It's fudge bread. It's going in my mouth. 

♥ Saturn leaving my ninth house (intellect) later this month, and heading for a 2.5 year stay in my tenth house (fame & honors) ohhhhhhh buddy Saturn you tricky monster. I can feel it, I am so ready to get out of school and into my dream profession! I'm ready to work hard and develop my skills!

♥ My new rings! I saw them and just snapped them up. They are so delicate and simple and fanciful and ladylike -- a style that I find really suits me these days. 

Two of the four I bought ♥

♥ Hoarfrost ♥ So beautiful!!

♥ Watching a random British romcom and having Simon Baker pop up. Playing an American. Swoon!

♥ Meat & cheese snack packs. I know they're not ideal but I could eat those suckers all day long.

♥ Getting the ace parking spot right outside my class building! Hahaha yes!!

How's it going, internet peeps?
