Project 365, Day 12

Day: Had my oral exam today! I did pretty well and got a 90% on it, and a 92.5% on the written part that was on Wednesday. Afterward some friends and I ate and talked at a local supermarket, where I discovered that Oreo Alfajores exist:

As you can imagine, it was super delicious.
