Christmas Eve

I can't believe that I have been home for break already for a week.  It is going by so fast!  Just wanted to post a short entry to wish everyone a Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays!

Let us not forget the true meaning of Christmas:

"And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch of their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord."



Luke 2:8-11

One more final then I am officially on break!   This week has been dragging along it feels like.  I keep getting my days mixed up and I woke up today thinking that it was Friday, but it is only Thursday.  That's okay though.  I am enjoying the extra time I have between work, exams, and studying to hangout with my friends  & boyfriend before not seeing them for like 3 weeks!  

This fall semester has been a great one.  I have made many new friends and have many new memories to cherish for the rest of my life.  I am ready for a break though.  I am excited to see everyone back at home and catch up with my friends from high school.

So it is exam week and I am tired of studying for exams already.  I feel like all I have been doing is studying, studying, and more studying.  I have only taken two exams!  I am currently taking a break from studying for my macro exam that is this afternoon, and I am also currently doing laundry because that needs to get done sometime this week before I go home Friday.  I am looking forward to getting my macro exam done so that way I can relax a little bit before studying for my Fit For Life exam that I have tomorrow morning.  

My days during exam week go like this:

Get up, shower, walk to Centennial Hall, take my exam, come back to my room, study, eat, study (or take an exam), relax, and then study some more!  I try to find sometime to hangout with my friends because I know this week is the last I am going to be seeing them for three weeks! 

I did get a break from studying last night and went to Skyline Chili in Lima with some friends.  I enjoyed having that food.  I am also looking forward to having a good lunch as the admissions office is holding a potluck for the admissions interns!! I am super excited to eat some delicious food! 

Now, time to go back to studying...

Classes for the 2010-11 fall semester are officially over!  It is such a relief to have them finally be done with, especially since the weeks since Thanksgiving break have just building up to it.  This semester flew by though and I still can't believe how fast it went by.

This semester has brought many new friendships and even a boyfriend.  I am so thankful for each person in my life.  They helped me get through the semester without going totally crazy.  I seriously have the best friends and boyfriend in the world.  They make the college life so much better!

Now, just to get ready for finals, which means studying lots and lots this weekend & coming week.  I have exams on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday, since all five of my classes are having one.  Thank goodness there is no track practice this week, so I will be able to focus on studying for exams.  It's a good thing our coach understands that we are here at college to get an education, not for the sports.  I was glad that I didn't have to go to our first indoor track meet today at Capital because that would take away from some important study time.  I have been studying since I got up and am taking a break before I go back to studying.

I'm looking forward to tonight though, I am planning to do some Christmas cookie baking & watching Christmas movies with some of my awesome friends.  Definitely going to be a girls night, which I am really looking forward to! :)

This week is going by faster than what I expected it would go.  It does help that I had a good weekend with my friends and boyfriend.  We went up to the Toledo Zoo Saturday night and saw the Christmas lights!  It definitely got me in the Christmas spirit even more than what I already was.  Being able to see them with my boyfriend and friends made it even better.  Sunday night, we had our end of the year cross country banquet at Olive Garden!  I can't complain about that because Olive Garden is one of my favorite restaurants.  It was a fun time with the team, as usual.  I just have to remember to get my jacket order taken care of before Friday...

I officially only have two more classes for this semester and then I just have to worry about my exams next week!  This semester flew by! It's been a stressful week as I have had papers to finish up and turn in and I have also started studying for exams on Monday that I have.  The library this week has been very helpful in having coffee, tea, and cookies to snack on during certain times in the day, so I have been working on assignments there, which I have been able to focus so much better on my homework!  

It was nice last night because our floor had a CBA event, which is a community building activity.  Our floor activity was decorating Christmas cookies and then getting to eat them once they were decorated!  Such a nice way to take a break from homework and studying.

Indoor track practices are going well even though it's been freezing outside when we run.  Oh well, we have to do what we have to do to have an awesome season!  Everybody is working really hard, so it should be another good year!

It's officially December and there is only one more full week of classes before final exams!  I can't believe how fast this semester has flown by.  Even though it has flown by, there has been so many memories made.

It snowed yesterday which made the campus look so pretty!  It was awesome that it snowed on the first day of December to.  Now hopefully there will be snow on Christmas.  I always love a white Christmas! :)  My friend Lyndsey gave me my Christmas present today, and she got me a fish!!  I'm way stoked about this.  It makes my room so much better! haha  Now, I just hope I don't let it die, that would make me really sad.  Oh the little things that make life so much better.  It made my day so much better especially since I have been finishing up papers for classes all this week.  The last weeks of the semester are always stressful, but with the friends that I have, things don't get to stressful.
