How was your weekend? Mine was really nice!
Friday night, I cleaned up our apartment and went to the gym. I worked out well. I came back home and watched some TLC shows.
On Saturday, I had to get up really early (5h45 am!!!) because I had to take 2 exams for the Student Recruitment in the Quebec Public Service. I had to leave at 7h05 am, quite early,! It was still dark outside! I headed downtown in bus, (it takes about 1 hour to get there by bus!) to the Québec city Convention Centre.
About 1500 students were there to take those exams! A lot of people!
The first exam took 3 hours to write and it was quite a difficult one! Afer that, we had a 1h15 break for lunch! Two friends of mine were also here to take the exams, so we had lunch together, it was nice to see them and to chat with them, I had not seem them in 2 months! The second exam was held in the afternoon, but was more easy and only lasted 1h30. I was done after only 40 minutes! I hope I will have good grades!
After the exams, my boyfriend came to get me and we went for a car ride in the city, we love to do that! After that, we went grocery shopping! I love to buy new food :) I also went to the pharmacy to get my prescription, I had to wait like 30 minutes, there was so much people there! I don't like wasting time like that!
For dinner, we had special plans! One of my best friend , Jo, (from out of town) was in town for the day (shopping, shopping and shopping!) and we headed to a wonderful restaurant with Jo and her boyfriend: Le Café du Monde. (Click on the restaurant link to see, it's a nice place with a nice view on the St-Laurent's river!) This restaurant is like a French Bistro, I love it! Desserts are amazing! I had a meal of chicken with vegetables, it was so good. I had Creme brûlée for dessert!!! These Crème brûlée is to die for!!! It was a fun evening. I caught up with my friend (who's 6 months pregnant with her first baby boy!) and her boyfriend and mine shared funny stories, They always have a lot of stories to tell, it's hilarious! We had a great time all together. I will see her again in 3 weeks, it's her baby shower!
Today, Sunday, we woke up pretty early (considering the change of hour!) and we had breakfast at home! I baked some almonds croissants, a recipe that I have not done in months! With some coffee (a Café Moka for me, a Cappuccino for B.), it was so good! I enjoy those special mornings with my sweet love!
After that, we went to a bookstore because my boyfriend wanted to buy a book about investments in real estate. (He's considering going into that business by building a 4-plex apartment!) We will see what happens with his idea this year...! We also went for a little car ride around the city to see some beautiful houses! (really unaffordable houses, I don't know what those home's owners do for a living, but they all must be neurosurgeons or big business men!!!) We love to dream about about living in such a nice house later. Dreams are allowed, are they ha?!? :) Before heading back home, we stopped downtown to get coffee at Starbucks! The place was packed of students studying! I don't know how students can study there, this place is so loud!
After dinner, we went for a quick walk in the neighborhood. It was freezing outside, about -3 °C. But fresh air does some good :)
I really enjoyed my weekend!
A new week is beginning tomorrow!
Time flies so fast! I sometimes wish I could stop the time just for a day!
