As per request...

So Maia has requested an update - and what Maia wants Maia gets - haha. I actually can't believe that a whole week went without me posting something new but whatever...
So last week I had 2 midterms and I am seriously freaked out and I just hope that I didnt fail them - I don;t think that I have ever done so poorly on exams before but what is done is done.
I tried applying for my UK Passport last week and they sent my application back to me the very next day. Apparantely My father's and my birth certificates are not sufficient. Somewhere between Anna and Stephen's births they changed the format of Birth certificates so that they are more detailed. My father's and my birth certificates have only our names, city and province of birth, date of birth and gender - the new ones have also both the parent's full names. So I have applied to get replacement birth certificates for us both. It's no big deal since when the High Commission in Ottawa sent back my application they included the info on how to get new birth certificates. It's just another obstacle for me to overcome.
On Saturday a friend I hadn't seen in over a year called me up at 8:30pm and we went out for coffee for "half an hour" - haha - we ended up staying at Starbucks till they kicked us out. It was SO good to see her - she is one of those people that you can just see God's love shining through like she's a beacon of light. Our relationship is kind of weird but them so is my relationship with many people. It's just funny because we were really close for like a year and a half (when we were both going through and really tough time) and then we kind of drifted apart but God has kept us in eachother's prayers and when we got together again it was like no time had passed - I love friendships like that! She's doing awesome - I'm doing awesome - it was really reat just to catch up and see where God is leading the both of us.
On Sunday I went out for lunch with Maia, Meg, Liz, Anna, Bonnie and one of the roomates! It was splendid Good conversations and good food (despite the ridiculously long wait and I was Freaking Starving!) I love getting to hang out with my friends especally in smaller groups because you can actually talk about things - haha.
So last night I was in bed and Becca called - her birthday is this Thursday and she has decided that from me she wants a bunch of baking - So what did I do? I got out of bed and started baking - haha. If the package is to get to her by Thursday we gotta send it out by Tuesday and there was no wat that I would get it all done by then. Mom even helped last night - but she bakes way different than I do and I don't think that I will have her help me again. It caused me way too much anxiety - haha. She doesn't use measuring cups properly - she re-uses brownie batter bowls for icing and cookie dough - it was just too much (I know I'm totally nutso). So anyway we got most of it done last night and I think I only have to make one or two more things and then it done so Yay for that!
Tonight I have class and then dinner with Emma and Stephen - and I gotta stop eating what I'm baking or else I'm going to pay for it Tuesday :)

DANG STRAIGHT!! What I want I get...NOT!! If only!! Well actually, not 'if only'...sometimes I need a good smack upside my head INSTEAD of what I want...hahaha. ANYWAYS, yay for updates!! :) Don't worry about mid-terms...a philsophy I adopted while I was a student was "oh well...can't change it now and I'll still graduate". I'm glad that you baked cookies :) I'm also glad that you're persevering with this whole 'British citizenship' thing :) YOU CAN DO IT!! I'm ALSO glad that you had such a great time with your friend :) So much to be glad for :) OOOH, what are you up to tomorrow nite? Some of us might hang out (nothing really 'planned' yet). Call me if you're free ok?! BE FREE!!
