Sunday Recap - Exam day!

This Sunday, unfortunately, was not nearly as relaxed as last Sunday. I'm going through for my Certified Managerial Accountant designation and I had a (rewrite) exam in Oshawa Sunday morning at 9:00 AM. I am NOT enjoying the process. I know lots of people manage to hold down a full time job while studying as well - Angel did an amazing job at it - but I just find myself to be hardly motivated. So I was fairly stressed about the exam. Didn't sleep much Saturday night. Woke up well before 5:00 AM because I couldn't sleep. The drive down to Oshawa wasn't too bad, just a little rain. I was glad to get into the examination room and actually start writing. I almost took the entire four hours and left one question (on foreign currency and cumulative translation adjustments) completely blank. Tim wanted to know whether I was excited or relieved when I finished - I think I'm more just overwhelmed by the whole process. I'm not even close to the end.

The weather had cleared up by the time I was heading home and it was absolutely beautiful. It was good to get to hang out with Tim for the afternoon. We spent a few hours outside cleaning and washing our cars - the G6 and the Element both look pretty spiffy! Wouldn't you know, though - as soon as I pulled the G6 out of the parking lot to take it around to park it, a bird pooped on it. Angel and Tim were both laughing at me about it - stupid bird!!

To celebrate Mother's Day, Tim and I took Dean, Wendy, and Tim's aunt Jill out for dinner at Brio Gusto on Charlotte St. We popped over to Dean and Wendy's first for a glass of wine. It was such a beautiful day to be sitting on the patio! Dinner was wonderful as well - I'll have a separate post about this later!

After dinner we went back to Dean and Wendy's to watch the Survivor finale! The past few years I haven't watched Survivor at all - I just couldn't seem to get into it. But this season has been amazing! The people were great and the way they interacted was just amazing. I was so pleased that Kim chose to take Sabrina and Chelsea to the final three. I really like when they stay with their original alliances and don't backstab each other. There were lots of blindsides this season! I was really pleased that Kim won - I felt she played the best game. She was really working on everyone all the time and instigated most of the big moves.
