What a week! The snow calmed down Sunday night enough for UBC to keep campus open. Monday I didn't have tutorial until 2pm so decided to go to the Boulevard Coffee Roasters to get some studying done. I still love London Fogs but do find that it almost makes me more sleepy, huh who would have guessed.
Monday night it started snowing A LOT, so much so that UBC closed campus at 6pm. At around 10pm I got the best news ever that Tuesday would be a snow day and campus would be closed. Since Thursday I had 3 exams coming up, having the whole day off was a blessing, getting more study time. I am not going to say I was super productive, cause I wasn't. Snow I swear makes me sooooo lazy, it's just too pretty to look at.
3 exams later, which didn't go as bad as I was expecting, the girls and I went out to celebrate Galantine's/finishing 3 exams/mid-winter break was just around the corner. We actually managed to sit in the booth for 5 hours, pretty sure the staff hated us by the end. We finally got the chance to hang out and eat good food without the stress of an exam, lab, or assignment around the corner.
Friday evening I took the Amtrak down to Seattle since I have whole week off from lectures! Because it was a Friday the train was a massive double decker. The next 4 and a half hours went quiet fast since I had downloaded 3 Marvel movies on Netflix.
I just cannot come home and not make pretzel cookies, so I preceded to spend all afternoon Sunday baking. I think I have made these at least 10 times so I have the recipe down to a T. Perfect amount of cookie dough and technique. I have been using this recipe for about 5 years https://www.halfbakedharvest.com/warm-chocolate-chip-cookie-stuffed-soft-pretzels/ (of course at this point I developed my own technique and changed the recipe slightly)
Lately I have been getting bored with the 'no lyrics' music, so I decided to switched it up with random playlists. 'Stay Wild' has been my go to for studying this week. I do have to switch it up each week otherwise I start to know the songs too well and becomes a distraction.
