Almost all the marks are in...

I have been checking my marks on Quest fanatically ever since yesterday to see if my chances at Nursing acceptance will be squashed or not. Luckily, it seems like everything will be ok! I know 2 of my marks, and the other 2 I have pretty good estimates, so I think I'll be alright! :) If they're looking at only the last 2 years, I'll be alright- I realized in 3rd year that my marks would really matter, so I'm lucky I was able to pull up my marks the way I did. I was never a "bad" student to begin with, but you know how it is; high 70's are not good enough for graduate studies. My 3rd and 4th year marks have been consistently in the low to high 80's, so I feel relieved. I was especially worried about this term: Even though I was only doing 4 courses that would be graded, I was doing a lot of volunteer work, I was having issues with concentration, I was taking several Arts-based courses with more reading than I was used to and methods of studying that were different, and then I discovered WoW 2 months before exams. Hahahaa.... anyway, everything worked out. I must say though, living with my cousin did help; during exam period we sometimes studied together (in silence) in the dining room, so she kind of "made me" focus for a couple days at a time.

I hope you're all having a wonderful Christmas holiday (or whatever seasonal break you celebrate). I got a Blue Tooth headset for my phone and computer (my mic isn't working since I installed Windows 7) from my family, so that was pretty cool. I have been giving myself gifts all year long, so I don't want anything else :p

*gasp* I know, for once I look decent! I'm wearing:

- Everyday Minerals loose base in Light Olive (semi matte)
- CG True Plum blush
- Jane Eye Zings in Brownie Points as eyeliner (tightlined with a brush)
- Everyday Minerals Good China e/s on inner corners, under brow bone
- Everyday Minerals Silver Spoon e/s on outer corners
- a weird mix of brown, gold, and bronze e/s on lid (I mixed a bunch together, no idea what brands)
- vaseline on lips
