Studying and Guaraná

I just realized that I have not written in a while. There are good reasons for this. I had four tests this week. Four. Is that really necessary? I had one on Monday morning (at 8 a.m. by the way) which I'm certain I did not do well on. Then, Monday night, I spent 5 1/2 hours in the library with a study group for my test on Tuesday. I was pretty confident for that one. Wednesday night, I spent another 4 hours studying for the test on Thursday....I totally aced that one! Yay! And, Thursday night/Friday morning I spent a couple hours studying for my test on Friday. Basically....I have studied too much this week. And I'm definitely over it!
On a lighter note, I'm going to be doing some cooking today......comida brasileira! Yummy! I'm super excited about it. I'm making chicken stroganoff, with rice and beans. I have only made it once, and I keep saying I will make it again. Soooo, today is the day! I'm also going on a search for Guaraná today. I found two international grocery stores, so I'm gonna check them out. I called one of them last night, and the lady on the phone had no clue what I was talking about. That could be due to the fact that I pronounce Guaraná like a Brazilian. I don't know any other way to say it. Anyway, she finally just said "no". I was thinking, "yeah, you have no idea." So, I'm going to make a trip out there to check it out today. Hopefully I will find it! I've been craving it for an awfully long time now. (sigh)



FYI: I found Guaraná today! I only had to go to one store. (Not the one with the clueless lady.) I was ecstatic to see the green can! I can assure you that I will be frequenting that place :)
