Yes, the snow was cold...so much that Haruo and River both felt like their collective rear-ends were about to fall off. Thus an idea was formed. Why not exercise and get the blood flowing to the point where they warmed back up again. But considering their location, the first idea of Haruo's probably wasn't a good idea, unless they wanted to be arrested for indecent exposure in a public place. But his second, well, River hadn't trained in a while. And frankly, she needed to progress in her martial arts.
Well...Haruo and River squared off...to the amazement of some of their classmates who had never seen a martial arts demonstration before. And on top of that. Haruo and River looked like your typical "mature students", more interested in studying instead of partying. And frankly, the rest of the student body didn't really know that much about Haruo and River since they hardly ever hung out with the rest of the students after class or were party-animals. They studied hard, got good grades and were dedicated to their studies. The only thing that the rest of the class knew about them were that River and Haruo were married and not much else.
But ever since they had first started out at Shang Sim La with their martial arts, Haruo and River had been dedicated to the pursuit of their chosen form of exercise. Haruo had reached the pinnacle of Black Tiger Sim Fu and was able to wear the yellow/black martial arts outfit.
Because Martial Arts was meant for self-defense, it meant that Haruo gave River no quarter constantly going on the attack and teaching her that defence was the primary goal. Pick your openings...and strike. Let your opponent wear himself out. Seek out the vulnerability. River got one contacthit in...but that was it. Haruo pretty much overwhelmed her with his attacks and won the match 2-1.
Haruo and River knew that they had a lot of studying to do that night in preparation for final exams for the semester.
But nothing prevented them from a bit of loving and a good night's sleep.
Final exam day dawned with yet another day of snow. Haruo and River felt like they knew their material that they had covered the night before and on Wednesday night. Confident, but not too confident, but today was the day...they would know by the next day what their marks were.
The studying they had done beforehand was beneficial as the test proved to be hard.
...and Haruo came out of the classroom feeling like he'd been run through a wringer-washer. One more test to go...with barely enough time to breathe in between.
River, on the other hand, was able to take a bit of a breather in between as her class didn't start until four. So to kill time, she played a little pool, and touched up on her studies for her second class...
They had quickly sold their house at UBC and were now living back in the dorm for the final day...so it was good that they were able to quickly divest themselves of their belongings in their dorm room.
River had a good feeling about her exam on her final class and well...took to celebrating by beating up a snowman.
Now that final exams were over, they could relax until they got their results...after which they would depart for home...and back to their families. Haruo did change his LTW which he already accomplished for the LTW of becoming a awesome five-star chef - his main reason for that being to receive the Zero Kelvin Fridge. That would help matters when it came to keeping food fresh for an exceeding long period of time. And back in their dorm room, they spent some time together; River painting, Haruo watching her paint.
...and Happy Times were had by both.
Studying was over...at least for this semester...
