Vampire Weekend vs. Mike Snow - The Kids Don't Stand A Chance

The End

The title of the Black Eyed Peas album? I think not, the end of a painful two weeks of exams is more like it! Finally time to relax, have a beer, have a glass of wine, enjoy a home cooked meal or do nothing, you deserved it.

For this upcoming month I hope to take advantages of mom's baking ingredients. I also hope to spend a baking day with my grandmother, learn some baking/cooking tricks and recipes! Hopefully this will all work out, but in the mean time, its time to dance! Here's a tune to start the break off!

Exams are almost over

Crunch time, the time of year when you attempt to memorize everything you learnt this semester in a day (or two, if your lucky). A part of you really wants to ace the exam, but the other half just wants to scream "screw it , I'm going home" and for some strange reason, this random urge that compels you to yell usually happens on the quietest floor of the library.

Perseverance 
About a week or 2 left, should I buy groceries, can I rough it out, will I have enough underwear to last me the week?
Just about now, your looking over at your laundry basket and asking yourself, how in the world am I going to bring all that laundry back home? And you look in your fridge, only to realize that maybe grocery shopping would have been a good idea. 

But not to worry, here are some ideas to help you rough out the last few days. 

1) Look in your freezer, you never know what you will find in there. Frozen bread, vegetables, pizza pockets, hey mom's thanksgiving leftovers she packed me! 

2) Beans, just like the ones they tell you to stack in your emergency box, well my friend, this might be an emergency for you. You can either eat them raw, cook them on the stove, or my favourite, with toast, or warmed up in a tortilla bread (with cheese). 

3) Look in your pantry, you might find pasta, rice, cereal (the possibilities are endless). 

4) Eggs, finish that pack of eggs before you go home! Theres nothing wrong with eating eggs for dinner.

5) Peanut Butter, on toast, on a banana or on a spoon.

5) If your really out of luck, cafeteria food just might do it.
