Time

So my weekly posts have gone down the drain, sorry! Nothing blog worthy has really been going on, so I thought I would just spare you the boredom of nothing posts.

This week has mostly been filled with essay writing; I am trying to finish my first one before I go to Rovijn, Croatia next week for spring break. WOOO! It promises to be a gong show of epic proportions. None of the other Canadian girls are going as they are off on their own adventures with friends from home at that time, so I am rooming with the three Spanish girls and Marine from France. It'll be fun, I hope.

On Thursday it was Alison's champagne birthday (she turned 22 on the 22nd) so we had a little afternoon party in the backyard for her. I decorated it with balloons and happy birthday signs all over as a surprise for her. She had received a cherry-chip cake mix (her fave) from home and desperately want to bake it, but we have no oven. Luckily we have recently been making friends with the people who have a balcony that overlooks our backyard, and the man just happened to be on the patio at the time we were discussing the oven situation. So, I suggested we ask the man if they have an oven and sure enough, they do! So Alison strolled on over to a complete strangers house with to use an oven that, I am fairly sure, has not been used in about 50 years. It actually started smoking when he turned it on. Regardless, she put her cake in and then came home while it was cooking. The man turned out to be super nice; when Ali left for like 20 minutes he called his mom to ask how he would know if the cake was done or not. I thought that was super cute. SO we ended up with a delicious cake, some champagne, and a group of really good friends. It was pretty much perfect, which makes me excited because Ali loves birthdays as much as I do!

This weekend is nothing special. Out last night, girls lunch and work on essay today, out again tonight, and tomorrow I have to get up and go to church to meet marijectica...I think she wants me to go to her house after, but I'm not completely sure. Then Monday I am hoping to finish up my paper because on Tuesday Vanessa is coming for the day to visit! YAY someone from home!! I am looking forward to that A LOT. I'm hoping to see her once more when I get back from Croatia. Wednesday is Croatia for the rest of the week/weekend and then BAM it's MAY already. Can you believe it?? I certainly cannot.

May is actually shaping up to be an excellent month for me; first it's my birthday (wehoo) and something is in the works here and I don't know what it is..all I know is that I'm not allowed to leave during the first week. Hrrrmmmm. And then Annette (irish) said she would come with me to Prague for a few days, probably the 13th-16th, so I'm pretty stoked about that because I thought I was going to have to go alone! And then I will work hard on my second paper before I go to BUDAPEST! Found super cheap flights on the 22nd and 25th (10 euro each way) so I am going to see my friend Anna and she is going to show me around. I'm pretty excited for that. Then it's more essays until the beginning of June, then one exam and I'm DONE! Then TURKEY!!!! So excited for that. I think Marie and Laura are coming as well so that's awesome. That will be around the 10th of June I think...and then I come back, one more week in Koper, one week with fam in Ljubljana and Prek, and then BAM it's time to go home! I cannot believeeeeeeeeee how fast these next two months are going to go, it honestly blows my mind.
