Finished exams yesterday… WOOOO!!!! So relieved to just sit back and NOT have to study for the first time all year :). I don’t think I would’ve survived this last week if my boyfriend hadn’t come stay with me and keep me sane… I don’t know how he puts up with me at this time of year, I get real crabby when I’m stressed haha.
My boyfriend wasn’t keen for me to practice my suturing and cannulation technique on him, so a banana had to cop it 🙂
Motivation: Aussie Sophie Guidolin
I tried new pancakes for something different.. Custard Pancakes from www.bodybuilding.com/. They’re oookayyyy… I still prefer my usual blueberry pancakes though.

1 small (120g) cooked sweet potato
