Procrastination is my Middle Name

I've been putting off this post for a while thinking I always had something better to do. This is the one post I was always nervous about when I first decided to do a blog. I always thought "what if my test didn't go as well as I would hope it would?" Luckily it's not one of those posts!

I GOT A 550! :D

It's not the ideal score but I'm hoping it will be enough to get into Pace for the Spring term. The minimum for Pace they said was 520 so I'm hoping its enough. I keep going from being excited to being anxious so many times throughout the day that I really don't know how I really feel about it all. I still have to wait like 2 weeks for them to make a decision but the days are going by soooooo slowly.

To help pass the time I've resurrected my list of tv shows to watch on Netflix. Number one on the agenda is to finally finish Numb3rs. 



I first started watching this with Nick but then by season 3 it was just me. I really don't know why but I tend to like most of these police or military shows like NCIS, NCIS: Los Angeles, Hawaii Five-0..... yea so I've been putting off finishing it because I liked it so much. I also like the fact that the guy in it is SUPER smart and actually gets to do some cool stuff with his brainiac powers. 

Next on the list is to finish a show called Lie to Me. 



This show is so interesting and kind of practical to everyday life. The lead guy is an expert in telling when someone is lying and knows all the tell tale signs. He's like a human lie detector. This makes the dynamics he has will everyone around him really interesting because sometimes they lie to him and he lets them believe he doesn't know they're lying. 

I've also been finishing up some book series. I am now on the 4th and final book of the Hush Hush Series by Becca Fitzpatrick.


It's a really interesting series that's well thought out. At points it reminded me of Twilight with the way she's so dependent on her boyfriend but I guess that's how anyone would be in such a high stress environment. What was funny was when I was describing it to Nick he said the plot reminded him of The Mortal Instruments with the path of the protagonist Nora. She was born into a world and then taken out of it only to be thrust back into it during a crisis. 

The next book on my list is The Fall of Five by Pittacus Lore.


This is a series that I absolutely love! It draws you in and keeps you there until its done with you. There's no escaping it. I also find it interesting that the author found a way to write himself into the story. All of the other books in this series I've loved and was hoping they would continue the movie series but I don't think that's going to happen.

As you know I'm a HUGE fan of the supernatural and vampire books so of course I read the Vampire Academy series and was waiting patiently for the movie. FINALLY a trailer is available which is kind of what I remember from the book. It seems to have kind of a lightness to it which I didn't get from the book but I'll hold my thoughts until I've watched the movie. 
Here's a link the the trailer.

Oh I saw that in my sleepy post I did a couple days ago I forgot to put up a picture of my poutine. 


I had it with sausage and onions. Food in Canada is doing me sooooo well :). Yesterday I had 2 footlongs from Subway. I had the chicken and bacon ranch melt which was sooo yummy! In my haste to eat I totally forgot to take a picture.......but Subway has one


Of course this is faaaarrrrr from what mine looked like and I didn't get all the onions, pickles and stuff but it was still quite tasty. As usual Nick questioned how big my stomach actually is since he was full after his meatball marinara at lunch. But how can I turn down food??

Today's plan of action is to watch movies, read, watch tv shows, and eat. I just might go down to the pharmacy and pick up some stuff but that's only if I get bored of all the other stuff. There's no time like the present to get started on my loooong to do list for today :)

See ya!
Carla :)
