Crazy Week!

It's supposed to be March Break for public/catholic school boards here so most of the activities and lessons for after school stuff have been cancelled, including swimming lessons at my pool! I had originally thought that this meant I would get some time off from work and not have too much of a stressful schedule. Instead, I bounced up from 12/hrs a week to 32 hours this week! Almost 3 times the amount of time that I usually work! But it's all okay because it's all going to feed into my unhealthy shopping addiction haha. I woke up this morning at 7:00 AM to rush to work and work from 8:00 AM - 2:00 PM, then rush to school. Loooong day if I may say so myself haha. I'm currently enjoying myself a steak dinner that my mom cooked for me and just flipping through some photos that I've taken recently. I'm most likely going to do a review on the MAC Sheen Supreme Lipsticks in Bare Again sometime this week, so expect that to pop up soon!

And on another note before I end this post with a slew of pictures, my R&R Cosmestics order from Hautelook should be at my house by...since yesterday. I checked the tracking number that they provided for me and it clearly says "Expected Delivery: 03/15/2011". Uhhhh today is what, the 16th? Where is my mail! I'm not one to complain about snailmail because I know how long it can take sometimes but come on seriously? Don't tell me that it should be here when it's clearly not! I don't like getting my hopes up! Praying to the mail gods that a package with "Hautelook" printed on it will land on my doorstep tomorrow and be waiting for me when I get home from class!

Midterms & Stress Relief

I've definitely been lacking on my posts lately so I've decided that it would be nice to just take this "filler" post (haha I kid) to talk about what's happened lately. I haven't had much sleep whatsoever at all this week, probably the most is about 4 hours a night for the entire week on average. Mostly due to the fact that I had 3 midterms, lab reports to do and meetings to attend. I really should have gotten all of this started a long time ago, especially during reading week, but I guess silly me, I wasn't smart enough to do that. The midterms that I had this week were Animal Form and Function (BIO2135), Drugs 101 (BPS1101) and Genetics (BIO2133).

I don't believe that I've mentioned before but I'm currently a second year student in a Honors in BSc - Biology program but I recently switched over to Honors in BSc  - Biology (Cellular/Molecular Option). My original program was considered to be too broad because I kept getting e-mails from my University saying that I had to either pick a second major or a second minor in order to graduate. I should have seen this coming as my suggested course outline online was absolutely empty for my third year but I never really did anything about it. Anyways, I decided to just completely change my program since the new one would encompass everything that I wanted and still allow me to keep all of my credits that I've already earned.

So besides that little blurb about my program change, I've mostly been studying madly for my midterms and shopping online to relieve stress. Along with my purchases that I've posted last week, I ordered a 12 piece brush set from Crown Brush on Hautelook with my friend because of all of the nice reviews that I've seen online lately. I originally had planned on purchasing the Sigma Make Me Blush 12 piece brush set from Sigma except Hautelook was having such a nice sale that I couldn't pass it up! I probably will end up with more brushes than I need but hey, at least I'll have extras for the future when some of them start to deteriorate right? I also made an order with some friends on Zipia for accesories and spent around $76.50 CAD which I'll be posting a review for as soon as I recieve my items! Ugh, I'm already feeling really tired right now so I think that I'll cut off my post here and add some more tomorrow. Have an awesome night guys! :)

Return of the Frayed to Order

No, this isn't going to be another post about Frayed to Order by MAC. I just wanted to update you guys that I decided to return the polish in the end. After thinking for awhile, I realized that there isn't much that I can do with this color other than a full on a manicure. The only problem is that I usually go for designs instead of just one color on my nails. Seeing as this polish needed at least 3-4 coat before becomng opaque, I doubt it's going to hold up well layering up against any dark colors. What a waste, sigh. So back to the store it goes. Have any of you guys been having the same problem with Frayed to Order as well, or is it just me? I'll by uploading my swatches for Biker Blue tomorrow evening so make sure to come back for that!

But besides that point, today has been a long day. Started off with a lab for my Animal Form and Function class where we had to dissect an earthworm and a sea worm, Nereis. I was actually surprised because I didn't mind cutting into the worm as much as I remembered I had back in grade eight. I don't have much by means of pictures to upload for today, but just for kicks I'll show you guys what we had to cut up!



Haha, did I creep you guys out? Don't worry I won't always be posting creepy pictures like this everyday. In fact to make up for it, I'm going to give you a sneek preview for my Biker Blue swatch post, enjoy!



I hope you guys enjoyed this somewhat lack-luster post and I'll be seeing you tomorrow! :)
