Last Friday marked the end of my midterms. That day, I had finished writing my math midterm and I'm glad to say that I believe I aced it. I suppose the scare from the previous one really took it's tole on me and I studied diligently and often. Hopefully, when the tests are marked, my efforts will show.
After the midterm, my friends from class showed me a "shortcut" to get from campus to Lester. This shortcut apparently consisted of cutting through WCRI, a rather sketchy part of our off campus housing. I was amazed to find that they knew about this path and even more that they were willing to take it. I suppose the worst part was a giant hill that needed to be climbed. I swear, that hill must be at a 90 degree angle as everyone had difficulty. What's even worse is it had been raining that morning and so the moist earth made it quite slippery. My friends, being professional shortcut takers by now, made it up the hill rather effortlessly. I on the other hand, tripped a bit and had to use my hands to cushion the fall. I made it up the hill, but at a price. With my hands covered in mud, we arrived on Lester and separated ways to head to our respective houses.
As I walked home, Lapin called me, wondering how I had done. I informed her and she was quite glad that she wouldn't be receiving emo abuse from me. She joked at the possibility that I could still have done poorly and that my initial excitement was a little foolish. I agreed, but I was so glad that I understood all the questions and even managed to finish them.
When I arrived home, I realized that I was quite hungry. I suppose all that thinking really used up all my energy. I called Lapin up and asked if she wanted to head out to dinner with me. She agreed and suggested we go to the new Burrito Boys on King. At first, I was a little skeptical and not in the mood, but went along anyways. We perused their menu and ordered. I got a halibut burito with everything and Lapin ordered a steak burrito (minus most of the veggies). We asked about the franchise and the girl at the counter was kind enough to explain. I found it quite interesting and I believe she liked telling us.
As we waited for our burritos, we chatted a bit about school and life in general. It seems that we're quite boring and our typical behaviours allowed the other to tease. Soon, our burritos were ready and we dug in. Although they were tasty, I found that there was a lot going on and my palette was having a hard time differentiating the flavours; it all seem to combine into a mash of things. Nonetheless, I finished it and was very happy to have a full stomach.
After dinner, we both headed back to my place to chill for a bit. Sadly, chill is probably a poor choice of words. The heat wave that had struck Ontario was still around and it didn't help that my house doesn't have AC. We entered and instantly, the air became more humid and warm. Lapin described it as a sauna and I agreed. We went up to my room and turned on the fan which didn't seem to do much. We chatted for a while longer and called it a night. Lapin rushed home and I sat around with my hands around my stomach.

Perhaps the burritos were getting the better of both of us.
