Saturday lurve hiatus.

Mmm, Saturday morning. I cleaned the whole apartment this morning, had breakfast (oatmeal and a mug of hot orange pekoe), and read/am reading The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.

In the kitchen she saw that Krista had left her geometry homework on the table. Carmen eyed it lustfully. Krista had left off in the middle of the second proof, and there were eight more to do.
The house was silent. She grabbed the papers. She studied them and grabbed the pencil too. She began working. Geometric proofs were pure joy. You started out with both the problem and the solution.


That is the sort of enthusiasm I need for this exam season. I am tired and restless and want to get out of Waterloo, to go home to see my family and friends. I want to put up a Christmas tree, and bake cookies and pies and brownies. I want to catch up with old friends, and play with my diagnostic kit (I chose Heine).

For the next two Saturdays, I will have exams at 9 am: perception and anatomy, respectively. So I have to soak in as much as I can of this last beautiful Saturday morning. I'm gonna keep reading and make some lunch, and hopefully hit perception for a bit before hockey tonight.

Happy studying!!
