Happy Friday everybody! This post maybe be one of the happiest posts I’ve ever written. Its alternative title probably could have been, “Why I’m So Happy Right Now”. Can’t complain about that, right?!

Turning in the Thesis!
Although it’s been mostly done for a couple of weeks, I officially handed in my thesis on Monday!

I can’t tell you how nice it is having that stress off my shoulders. I can only imagine how people whose due date was early April have been feeling for the past month! It’s pure bliss!

Post-op rehab
I kind of thought I would hate rehab, but so far I’m enjoying it! I noticed a huge difference in my mobility and strength just from one rehab session yesterday, and I’m actually excited to go back today. This is pretty strange for me, since I’m not usually one to love stretching or boring exercises. However, I am determined to get my strength back, and I know that doing these exercises religiously is the best way to get me there!

This squirrel
About 3 minutes ago I had to kick this guy out of my room.
Thank goodness my screen was closed, or I would have had a squirrel fiasco in my room!

Spring Formals
Every spring, the eating clubs put on “Houseparties”. Friday night is formals, Saturday is semis, and then Sunday is Lawnparties (a day party where you have a free pass to dress up as pastel-y/preppy/flowery as you want).

It’s probably my favourite weekend of the year, and since I haven’t really celebrated my thesis turn-in yet, I’m looking forward to it even more!


It’s one of the few events a year where I am adamant about taking pictures, so I’ll be sure to share some next week :).

This veggie-filled dinner (from Wednesday)
I don’t think Tuesday was a very veggie-riffic day, so I was sure to make up for it when visiting the dining hall with a few friends on Wednesday! I filled my plate with kale/quinoa/cucumber/tomato/chickpea salad, a couple baby carrot, pesto broccoli (which I picked out of the pesto pasta), farro/edamame salad, and beets!
I think I filled my veggie quota that day!
Alrighty, now I’m off to run some errands before rehab, and then it’s time to get ready for formals!!!!!!
Questions:
What’s one thing you’re loving this week?
Has a squirrel ever climbed into your room?
If you are/were in college, do/did you have spring formals? (For sororities etc).
Congratulations on getting the thesis completed and handed in! Enjoy all the celebrations, bright and beautiful niece!!!!
P.S. The veggie dinner looks delicious!
Thanks!! Hope you are all doing well!
Oh my gosh, that squirrel was BOLD! I would’ve had a minor freak-out if a squirrel actually made it into my room. Ever since my friend told me a story about her mom getting jumped on by a squirrel when she was running…yikes!
Wait getting JUMPED on by a squirrel?! I thought my squirrel was invasive but that’s a whole new level!
You look amaaazing in your dress! And congrats on handing in the thesis! 🙂 .. Too funny about the squirrel.. I had both a squirrel and pigeon trying to get in my apartment last week. I felt like Snow White! 😉
Thanks! Haha if only woodland creatures were actually as fun and nice as they appear to be in cartoons…
Congrats on completing your thesis! Woooo, celebrate away this weekend!
