2 down, 2 to go

i know, i have been mia this week. i have had way too much studying to do lately to find time to blog - i wrote 2 finals this week and will write 2 next week. for some reason, although i know they are coming every single year, i am never fully prepared for exams. i hate them. personally, i feel like exams make zero sense for english majors. we are trained to write essays not memorize facts. i just do not understand how they evaluate what we have learnt over the term with a multiple choice test but, whatever. the two i wrote this week seemed to go alright but they were definitely the easier of the 4; i still have a lot to do this weekend and next week but, like i have said about 100 times recently, i am almost done... forever.

while i am studying all day tomorrow jesse will be holding a mini sticks tournament in our unfurnished living room. completely ridiculous. when i was nagged him for living room furniture two mini hockey nets were not exactly what i meant. i am terrified that the boys are some how going to dent my walls or even worse, break my front windows. i just know something will get broken. thank god jesse can fix whatever they ruin. i will let you all know what damage is done later this weekend.

so, now that the end of school is near i feel like i can start thinking about this wedding. this afternoon my mom and i are meeting with a florist from occasional bloom for a consultation. apparently, they were recommended by a few people - there are not a ton of pictures on their website but from what i have seen i like. they seem to do more modern arrangements which is exactly what i am looking for. i think it will be interesting. i have an idea of what i want, but generally i have expensive taste; wedding flowers are totally over priced (in my opinion) and i am incredibly cheap so we will have to see how it goes. i definitely want to go with fall colours; i think that the rich burgundies and oranges combined with the green is beautiful.

i am thinking something in this colour palette 

after flowers i feel as though i will be able to make more decisions regarding the decorations. i have been having trouble committing to anything lately, decorations, invitations, favors etc and i think (and hope) that the fact that i have not chosen flower type or colour was a major contributing factor to my indecisiveness but i guess we will just have to wait and see...
