Exam over! Now in the land of maple syrup and poutine!
So the exam is now over and has been over for a little over a week now. Two months of studying sure prepared me for the exam and I was much more prepared than the last time. The first attempt at the exam I had barely studied because I was down in England lambing so had no time to prepare for the exam and I decided to just cram for two days and hope I would do well on the exam. This time I had plenty of time to study. Although I wasn't sure about two of the short answer questions, I managed to answer all other questions and there were two questions that were exactly the same as on previous exams that I had studied. So I was glad for that. I hopefully answered the other questions correctly, or at least get partial points for. Still waiting for results to show up on my university account. I will check on Monday to see, but most likely the grades will not be posted for another week or two knowing how fast the university is at posting grades. Kristen finished her last exam and had it on the same day and same time as I had my exam. We had about a week to do things around Edinburgh and to get her moved out of her flat. It took some time, but we managed to clean and get her all moved out. We spent the last couple of days down at my flat and left on the 25th of August for Canada. We flew into Paris, then into Montreal and then took a bus (that was an hour late, ugh!) and arrived at the Ottawa rail station where I met Kristen's parents for the first time (well, in person for the first time since I have already spoken with them on skype numerous times). I am now in Ottawa at Kristen's house and will be here for 3 weeks. The weather has not been too bad, cloudy and it rained yesterday but the temperature is nice. Not as cold as Edinburgh and definitely not as hot as Arizona! Still have to unpack but will do that later today. Will be doing plenty of site seeing while here and relaxing! Will be nice to have a vacation where I don't have to study! Hope everyone is doing well and will update soon! Sorry for the long delay in posting, but was very busy back in Edinburgh. Talk to you all soon!
