Finally, my final French exam is over.  This one was the written version, and now on the other side of this, I am very very glad I was too sick to take this one as the first one like it was originally scheduled.  The reading one first gave me confidence, the oral made me feel like, hey I'm not too shabby at this, and this one, well, I have a headache lurking in my frontal lobe and a full day's work to do in 4 hours.  Thankfully tomorrow is my compressed day.

So, how did I do?  I don't know.  I'll find out tomorrow or Monday I guess.  I did finish all 80 questions, and with about 10 minutes to spare.  I could have used that time to go over my answers, but like with the reading one, my feeling was that my first gut feeling answer is usually right and any that I struggled over, going back isn't going to help.  So now I have no illusions that I will be a C on this one, but I do have high hopes I'll be a B level, which is fine.

Did you see the nice blood red eclipse full moon?  Pretty cool eh?  It was too cold last night for me to stand out watching it, but I did go out for a couple of minutes to see it. 

Now for the weekend.  My immediate plans are:  do the building cleaning as usual (and it's garbage night so a little longer), then, come home, turn on computer, flip around channels on the t.v., pour a glass of wine, and RELAX.  Tomorrow I hope to get the annoying groaning sound I get when I turn fixed (I read that it likely needs a lube or something like that) and I would like them to check the engine belts since there is one that is singing.  Might need belt dressing, might need replacement.  Hard to say.  Then, Saturday, thinking of doing the family yoga.  Perhaps a visit with Robert who is back in Canada?  Sunday, the ranch thing for the Autism group which will be great, love these outings.  Then, my Sunday builidng cleaning and the week begins again.  Also in this mix will be working on my university course some more (it's a lot of reading actually), and also trying to straighten out the mess in the living room.  Oh, and rig up better dog gates for the cats so they can come and go at will without being following by the dog.

Dog still needs to learn some manners.

Little guy, on the other hand, had a fabulous time skiing yesterday, and I can't thank Jim enough for taking the whole day and rearranging stuff with his boss so that he could go with little guy.  This was important, the school wasn't going to let him go if one of us wasn't there with him. Not a problem though, this fellow adores skiing, seems to take to it naturally so I will be looking into more lessons (mostly for me, lol, so I can join him) and equipment sales with a view of doing this seriously next year.   (lol, there's no skis of any kind in smilies so I picked this - that could be jassper pulling hee hee)

Oh, and there's a PG-4 position coming open in Moncton.  It is so very tempting to apply....hmm....need to think this one over a wee bit.  Wish this was coming open next year, I'd be applying for sure.  Oh well.  Maybe I will just to get on the list of PG 4s in the Atlantic region.  We'll see.  I'm too brain fried today to really think this one out.

À bientôt!
