Life is complicated

Saturday February 18th, we lost a beautiful woman with the most amazing spirit and soul. Her attitude towards life was nothing short of inspiring. She could fine the silver lining in any situation, no matter how dire it seemed. She kept a daily journal simply titled "Gratefulness" and she found something to be grateful for everyday. She filled 31 books with the things she was grateful for. It really made me realize just how much I take for granted and how much I have to truly be grateful for. She absolutely loved "Desiderata" and strived to live it each and every day.
She was a beautiful soul on earth and now her soul is home.
Ar dheis Dé go raibh a hanam.

Study Break

So, Midterms. Working fulltime and taking a full course load has its challenges. The main one being that after working 8 hours at a job like mine, when you get home you want to shower, put on baggy sweat pants, curl up on the couch and die. Well maybe not die exactly, but relax, watch a shitty tv show on netflix, read a book... instead I get to rush to shower and make myself presentable, then rush out to MUN to sit through a super awesome and exciting Math class, and then attempt to do some work in my 4 online courses before heading home to passout. I know that this is only for a little while, and it will absolutely be worth it when it's all said and done, but holy good lord does it suck.
So far I have 3 out of 5 Midterms done, they were all okay, I straight up left out a question on my Business Essentials midterm because I had no sweet clue, Microeconomics wasn't too bad, but I have a lingering feeling that a 3 page essay (that includes graphs) is not long enough for a question worth 40%. But I digress. So tonight I have Macroeconomics and Accounting tomorrow morning... I know what you're thinking, an exam on a Friday night and a Saturday morning... Jessi must be the luckiest girl in the world. I know, try not to be too jealous. :)
So other than that, Valentine's Day came and went, I got roses from a wonderful regular customer. Made my day!

So anyway, that's all for now :)
Loves and Smiles
