Well, no new cards to share today. I was a little busy as I did the language exam for my degree today. I was assured time and again by the Graduate Program Assistant that it was no big deal, easy to pass. Basically you get a page with an excerpt from some text in French on the religion you study. My supervisor, for the record, gives the most to translate. 5 paragraphs may not sound like much, but it takes a while if it is a relatively sophisticated text and your vocab is only so so. I love my monster french/english dictionary. Anyway, 2.5 hours later I handed in my handwritten pages and called it good enough. Most of it actually made sense! I won't hear anything for a couple weeks as my supervisor is away.
On a side note, I hope I get at least one more card in but I am going on vacation starting Friday. I'm going to visit my parents and all my friends back home for a couple weeks. Also getting my wisdom teeth removed so I'll get nice pain pills and everything! So hopefully I get another card done and posted, but if not, I'll be back after May 18th! My blog surfing will also be non-existent because there are just too many things to do in 2 weeks with people I am away from too much! Looking forward to moving home next year!
Cheers to all!
a bit about me
- Kira
- Canada
- (and we can't forget Book, the less than helpful kitty!) I'm a grad student who tries to keep the tail end of her sanity by getting creative. I love giving cards to family and friends. I made cards as a child but got out of the habit. Then I started to realize I was spending $5 on a birthday card and I decided to start making my own. Sure, now I could easily spend that on a card and not notice but at least now they are one of a kind creations made by me! So I just hope they bring a smile to someone's face.
