Almost midterms!

Hello all!

How are all you lovely people this fine Sunday afternoon? Personally I'm procrastinating on writing an essay, but what would college be without staying up until nearly 3 am writing a sub par essay because you've just given up on caring? My favourite is the digression of a college essay, beginning is strong and completely awesome, and as the redbull kicks in it slowly gets worse and worse until you type your closing sentence, read it over and go "well it's done..". Something I've learned to do well since the beginning of university. I haven't really helped myself either. Going out twice this weekend when I should be studying and writing my two essays all due Wednesday. 

My weekend started Friday night by going to the second last night of igloo fest! Man gonna miss this event until next year. It's a pretty cheap night if you take the STM and drink at home. And I'm all about cheap!

And I must say I felt hella cute when I went out. Even though igloofest requires ample layers of clothing, I still felt cute until the sweaters and coats! 

So here's my "I feel cute as shit" selfie. I know how badly you all wanted to see it. But last night! 

Last night, was the celebration of my favourite twins birthday! Maria and Dimitri have been great since I moved here. I got my much needed girlfriend as well as a good guy bud. One thing I miss about home is my boys, I've always had a lot of guys friends and that's something i don't have here so when we all go out it's always fun! In true Greek style we drank ouzo and went to a Greek bar.

Never thought alcohol and some Greek dancing could be so fun. Even though the dancing looks way easier than it is! I ended up taking a very expensive cab home instead of waiting for Dimitri to 

drive us, but hey now I know how much it costs to go from Avenue Du Parc back home, so life lessons, right? Still constantly impressed that two weekends in a row I've been able to get myself home strictly speakig french. It must be the alcohol. 

So! I'm quickly approaching midterms, the next 3 days are crazy busy. 2 test and 2 essays all before Wednesday. Heading to yoga tonight to relax myself before I get down to my stress. Then Friday I'm off to Cuba!! Let the count down commence!

Have a lovely week! Good night good morning good afternoon but talk to you soon! 

Life reorganizing itself

Hello all,
I know my posts lately have been pretty brief and full of some hard emotions. This loss, clearly, was very hard on me. I do have some good news, my life is starting to readjust which I am so so thankful for. Dark times feel 100% longer than happy times, and I just can't live like that.

I'm back at school, and holy crap books this semester are ridiculously over priced! Goodbye 500 dollars of hard earned money, it was nice that you took shelter in my bank account for such a short period of time. So with my 14 required texts purchased, and tuition paid, I'm accepting payments now for the "Kate wants to have fun this semester fund". Being a broke student blows, but I have had my moments of brilliance making my few dollars stretch. Maybe Prince Charming is sitting at the next bar I go to waiting to shower me with free alcohol. A girl can hope.

So finally my few words about New Years Eve! NYE 2013 was fun, but the place I went to was full of out-of-towners. You can defiantly separate Americans from Montrealers. Not in a bad way of course. Who am I kidding Montrealers know how to handle their liquor, many others, do not. I guess you could say that comes with our legal drinking age being so low.

SO 2014, be good to me!!! 2013 was pretty great, there no denying that. I worked a full time job, graduated from high school, started university, moved to Montreal, hit up an amazing music festival this summer, and got my license (not in this order). Among countless other small victories in 2013, I really did enjoy the last year. 2014 had a rough start, but I do have hopes that things will be picking up. So far I'm really enjoying my classes and scored Thursdays and Fridays off, yes! Talk to me in a couple months about how I'm loving my classes, I'm hoping I have the same excitement.

2014 has so far brought me a new love interest, and some big big plans for the summer months. Also my spring break trip to Cuba is only 34 days away! I hope you all have had a pleasant first week of 2014, what are you looking forward to this year? Post in the comments below!! I'm also attaching a selfie for the first time, here's my face y'all!
