I also went out to visit my cousin and brother. My cousin's cat Fluffy was having breathing problems due to a chest infection. She has lost so much weight from being ill and she is already diabetic. I went with my cousins to pick up Fluffy from the vet. I hung out with Holly and Gabby (three-legged black cat) in the waiting room. Fluffy was woozy from the medication. We got her back home and she was still out of it, but realized she was finally home with her family. Eventually, she jumped on the sofa and curled up on me and took a nap. She has never jumped up to cuddle or be near me.
My calculus final exam is this Tuesday. I have finally come to terms with it all and stopped stressing over it. We did a practice final exam from last term and it was very difficult. We were all kind of anxious after it. But the end is near and freedom is around the corner! I am looking forward to watching movies, reading, cleaning, watching tv shows on DVDs, and overall having a social life again (at least for two weeks).
Last week, my work took us to dinner at Beyond for our Christmas Party. I had a delicious steak and chocolate-fudgy cake for dessert. There were door prizes, a manicure at Absolute Spa, dinner at O'Doul's Restaurant & Bar, and a suite at the Pacific Palisades Hotel.
The grand prize was a trip for two round-trip to Whistler on the Rocky Mountaineer Whistler train. I had no idea there was a grand-prize trip. Well, we had to play heads or tails to win it. Basically, each round you put your hands on your head or butt. We went two rounds, and I was the last contender with a co-worker's boyfriend. I was so nervous! Well, I won the trip! I was flabbergasted to say the least.
So, my plan is to go up in summer for my birthday and hopefully get some folks up there to rent a condo with a hot tub for some summer birthday fun.
So many parties and festivities were happening this weekend, and I had to study (*pouty face*). Donna and Jenn's martini party (dang! another great party they are hosting that I could not attend!), martini and brunch today, and ice skating this afternoon (I went to the last one). Oh, the dedication and discipline I practice for my school courses.
Last night, I did go to Katia's birthday party. It was a pleasure to celebrate her birthday with her and her friends. We did arts and crafts of oven clay and painting. There was also some drumming and guitar. Shawn made a delicious vegan chocolate cake (when I am rolling in dough, I will hire Shawn as my personal chef/caterer). Katia gave me a beautiful Yin Yang pendant. Silly me, I forgot her present at home! I will have to give it to her when she returns from her trip to South America.
