A weekend of magic and worry

This weekend so badly needed; unfortunately, I didn't get to make the most of it thanks to a damn quiz on Monday (which I didn't do well on).

I had a great Valentine's day with Kaitlyn. There was a scuttle on Saturday as to how and when we'd have it, but I made time Sunday by taking her to the Turning Point (where she thoroughly enjoyed her strawberry shortcake crepes). Then we went to Borders and just chilled; she bought her mom a Beatles Trivia Pursuit game for her birthday. When we went back home, I performed two mentalist routines (Mental Prediction Board, using a third single-card prediction without any forces, and Luke Jermay's Emotional Intelligence (but only the first and last phases) ). Then I did three card tricks, all from Hugard (Do as I Do (she loved this one), Observation Test, Ultra Card Divinion). I was really happy it all went smoothly. She is a princess, and the gifts she got were amazing. I hope she likes the ones I got her.

But, now I am back in my apartment, totally unsure if I passed the last exam. As far as practicals goes, it is not that I don't know what I'm seeing, it's that I CAN'T make out what the heck I'm seeing. It's like I'm looking at black dots, as opposed to the actual cells I'm used to viewing on my laptop screen. Not to mention the absurdly Satanic written portion. Geez. I really hope I passed.

I forgot to mention I managed to do some magic for med students (gasp). I did Clutch by Oz Pearlman and John Bannon's Power of Poker. Then I impressed another group member with a few French drops. He was amused, haha. He was doing some magic tricks so I taught him how to put a card back in the deck and "move" it. He said it wasn't as magical. I guess, lol.

Happy Chinese New Year, and happy birthday to my lovely sister!
