My heart is happy.

Oh my goodness, my legs are on fire.
So, when you dance a lot of cabaret after a week of missing dance class due to being home, you tend to hurt for the next few days.
OKAY, CATCH UP TIME.
Had my last midterm (virology) last week, on Thursday. ROCKED THAT. Got 10% higher than the class average. Hello, A+. It feels absolutely AMAZING that I've figured out how my brain wants me to study: the old, simple way. Which is good, because in 99.9% percent of my classes I take great notes. Why spend 15+ hours rewriting and studying notes when I can just spend that time studying? -duuuh- Especially after that one immunology midterm... -shudder-
Went home and did mostly nothing. I tinkered with my term paper for physio and half-arsed studied for parasitology. I mostly just ate, ate, ate, hung out with my friends at my college (got punched in the stomach), and hung out with my guy bestie. Who caused many nightmares after watching the whole Marble Hornets/Slenderman first season with me.
Drive up? Horrible. After exactly 3 hours from Edmonton to Valleyview, I was expecting a nice 45 minute speed to home. HAH! Try a 45 km/h TWO FREAKING HOUR drive. Thank you, roads and thank you, first snow. Ridiculous. Three things though:
a) I am the calmest driver ever when my vehicle starts fishtailing on ice,
b) I cannot believe we got home before they shut down HWY 43, and
c) I am so thankful we are alive.
Oh goodness. I got my boyfriend his Christmas gift. Let's just say you shouldn't get something the day it's realeased. GONG. SHOW.
And I guess I've started my Christmas shopping, too. On my small bit of cash, I've been able to get something my Mom will love, half of my boyfriend's gift, and start putting together a little gift basket for my boyfriend's family. I HATE buying gifts because I am so horrible at it, but everyone is reminding me that I am being very thoughtful by doing this. I'll take that as a "good job." (Thankfully, Dad just wants me home, and my best friends are getting cards, since I haven't done that in AGES.)
Oh yeah, cabaret. I apparently do extremely sexy things, by accident, while I dance. Is that a compliment?
We finally finished the choreography to our song, and the last lick of the song just makes -me- sweat performing it. It's a little more sultry than I expected to be, but it still looks good regardless! Our instructor hopes we'll perform it in December, and the musician in me is crying out, urging me to do so. We'll see; I have NEVER danced for people before, and based on her ideas for costume, I am more than a bit nervous for that type of performance.
Also, I have the greatest boyfriend in the world. Have I mentioned that before? Probably, but I think it should be said all the time. I really hope he comes in 12 days. He is
a) a huge inspiration and drive for me to focus on my studies,
b) such a good shoulder to lean on for support (if I could reach it...?), and
c) hilarious.
Seriously, shout out to him. I don't know how he does it, but he sends the simplest texts that always make me smile or laugh. We can't skype (no webcam...), calling isn't exactly the easiest (I'm the only one with a calling plan), and we can't exactly fly back and forth to see each other. But it's almost been 7 months, and everyday (with or without contact) has been amazing.
Gah, now I'm all sad that he's not here yet. Oh well. In his own words:
"You have to be more patient with some things."
Truth'd.

SUPER STRESS.
So, I got my Cell Biology mark back. PLEASE tell me the average low so I did better than everyone else...
I have an interview for the lab of my dreams Friday. Please, please, PLEASE let this happen. I am wanting this more than a lot of things, like food and showers and sleep.
Um, I'm getting put on the bone marrow donor's list. I really want to be there to help someone if I really can.
and AUGH UNIMAGINABLE STRESS STUPID PAPER AND LAST MIDTERM!
-retreating back to the hole that is my room-
