The Grades Be In!


After a few days of nervous waiting, I finally got my final grade from my latest grad degree class and I have to say I’m thrilled with it!! I am particularly happy with my performance over last two weeks. It was a hard class, the first class that I truly felt was a real graduate level course and I’m glad I rocked it! God is definitely good and carries me through my struggles.

Mom and I just got back from eyewear shopping; yes I’m finally replacing my old worn and busted frames with a new set (courtesy of the parental units for my birthday). My prescription has not changed much over the past 5 years so that’s a good thing. I originally picked out a pair of Porsche Titanium frames that have a really cutting edge shape and design to them, but they were a bit pricy so I relented. I figure I’m back in school and I can splurge on that stuff when I’m doing and working again. So I settled on some nice Ray-Ban rimless frames which also allowed me to pick up a pair of Ray-Ban semi-aviator style sunglasses as well for a reasonable price. No need to be pretentious at this stage in the game but no need to be out of style neither!

In a weird, universes colliding, and Twilight Zone twist, my new optician’s name is Christina. (All of you who know my eyewear history know that my Toronto optician’s name is Christine!) Christina was really nice and friendly but I have to say that I miss Christine [thats her with the mic, she sings] a whole lot. It’s nice when your service providers are also your good friends. And to be honest Christine… is a lot more fun and gorgeous! When I get back to the T dot, I’ll be sure to get those Porsche frames from her.

Anyway my arms, chest, and stomach are still tingling a bit from yesterday’s successful workout. I’m always adjusting to try new things to stress my muscles in a new way. I’m still not sure how far I can push myself and without any one to spot me I’d rather err on the side of caution. There is also the matter of proper technique and training my mind to constantly focus on quality over quantity. But we’re getting there and December is fast approaching!

Well that’s it for now. The new eyewear should be in within the next week or so and I’m looking forward to having frames I don’t constantly have to tape up to keep on my face! (Aint that totally geeky?!)

Oh... aren't Aprilia's the hottest bikes next to Ducati's... Check out all that carbo fibre! Hawwt!
