Not on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday but on Thursday...

This week has been a strenuous one for me. I had an anatomy exam on Monday that I studied my butt off since I had a heck of a weekend last week. Made an A so I'm satisfied with that, *smiles. I have two more weeks left of this summer class and when August 2nd hits, I'm taking myself shopping. It's very well needed! I'm so over summer school, but you do what you gotta do.

On Tuesday I finally got my car back from the mechanic. I got hit back in March, on my way to work and the person who hit me did not want to pay for the damage, can you believe that?! He was at fault and his insurance company was on some bull so I had to wait til I got to my parents house this summer to actually get it fixed. Now it looks better than ever! I'm so happy. It doesn't even look like the driver backside door was dented, I just need to get it washed.


Wednesday I studied all day for the lab practical I had today (Thursday) but in the evening I attended church for this annual event "Christmas in July" where basically it's like an event for worship, followed by a showcase for gospel artists and comedians. At the end, there's a drawing for prizes with the ticket you received upon entry. The lucky prizes are stuff like crock pots, TVs, coffee makers, etc, I got a cookbook for the second week, haha. Anywho, gospel artist J.J. Hairston (YouTube him) blessed us with his presence and church was just amazing. 3 women caught the Holy Ghost after his performance. It was so surreal. This is what I wore:

Dress: Forever 21 | Heels: Lucky Brand | Necklace: eBay | Watch: Asos

 
  Later on in the evening, I decided to put a red cardigan over the dress, incase it was chilly.

Today, after my lab practical (hopefully I did well, 100 questions, all fill in the blank!) I just relaxed like no other. Tomorrow I'll continue in studying for my PCAT, because grinding don't stop. But for tonight, I might look for a Naija movie to watch. I really want to online shop because I've been seeing sales but I'm just holding off until fall semester comes near. Also, I start work at Methodist hospital next Wednesday! I'm so excited but I got to be there at 9:30 AM. I'm going to be in the pharmacy department so I hope I take a liking to that atmosphere, I mean it's my future profession, lol.

Have a wonderful weekend readers!

Sushi, Alcohol & Dissapointments.


You know how when you plan things and have this big idea in your head on how things are going to pan out, yet things don't go accordingly or not even close to the plan? Yeah, that's what happened this weekend. I mean I made the best of it, like I always do but it's just one of those things that it's just some people you cannot deal with.

Thursday night started out fine. Went to RA sushi for the first time for my bestfriend's birthday dinner. Even though they delivered my food quickly, I did not like it. Probably, my last time going. It was just my sister, bestfriend and I in attendance, since my bestfriend's other "friends" couldn't "make it". This was just the beginning of their downfall.

I cannot remember what this was called verbatim, something like an Asian taco, accompanied with a mango margarita


Then Friday night, things didn't go well at ALL! First, in all due to Houston's horrible weather, severe weather warnings and partial flooding in some areas; the schedule that was set, was not followed accordingly. Another bestfriend of mine was suppose to fly down from ATL to help in our friend's birthday celebration. Eventually she was able to make it into town, although her flight was delayed. I was so happy to see her! (She's on the right, underneath)


So the plan on Friday was to settle into the hotel we booked, the DoubleTree, get dinner, have a few drinks then go to Drake Lounge for part 1 of my friend's celebration (She's on the left). The only thing we really managed to do is drink. We visited the lounge, but it was so dead so we decided to go someplace else. It 's also hard to get a cab in Houston! Obviously, it's nothing like New York but some cab drivers just fly by, even when the vehicle is vacant.


I don't even want to get into what happened the next night. Basically, we were suppose to have a "kickback" at the hotel and that failed miserably. Firstly, because of the noise complaint, secondly because of "some people", actually two in particular. Again, I made the best of it because my ex was in attendance and was my source of entertainment. My friend who flew in and I were really feeling like sore thumbs during some parts of the weekend but I'm just glad to say I'm home, and I'm so over it. Just one of those situations in life, that just happens.


Both of my dresses were from H&M, featured in that last haul I showed. In other news, my orientation at Methodist went well, just waiting for that important email. *smiles. Now I'm off to study my butt off for my anatomy exam tomorrow. School waits for no one. It's pouring again. I'm tired of this weather, so gloomy & depressing. Hope everyone enjoyed their weekend, I surely didn't.
