Relaxation Time

Relaxation is never as sweet as when you finish a slew of difficult exams. Having an exam in every class of grad school for a week was taxing, hence no posts, but my first wave of exams are done! I'm currently watching Park and Recreation with a glass of wine and it feels great. I was pleased with the grades of my first two exams, still waiting for the rest...but we will see! It came at the perfect time... I have homecoming this weekend, I'm going to the Giants Eagles game, and my birthday is one tuesday! I'll keep up with studying but it's nice not to worry about exams.
This week wasn't completely a smooth ride. Sunday morning I was woken by choking formaldehyde smell. It made me dizzy, I vomited (at first I thought it was from the craft beer I drank around a fire the night before, but it was just a couple beers), and I immediately called maintenance. 2 days passed, they never came. It was not until Monday night: I was studying (after 2 exams, on to the 3rd) about 12:30 am when smoke and embers started coming from an outlet in my bedroom. Maintenance didn't come...the fire department did, as well as the police, and I slept on the couch around 2:30 am. The couch has my roommate's cat dander on it (which I'm highly allergic to) and did not make for appropriate pre-test sleeping. I figured it all out with the supervisor of maintenance the next day, explaining that I know formaldehyde when I smell it...I've done dozens of dissections (too far?).
Besides that, and a few other mini fiascos hardly worth mentioning, I wore my grey on grey (rather discretely) and got through. 
Today I had a meeting for my club, class, and some relaxation:
