I don't really have much to say but I was feeling guilty for neglecting my blog. :) JonTon comes down tonight and will be here until early Sunday morning. It should add some excitement to my house. lol. I am excited about Christmas festivities...from now until Sunday is basically one big party. lol.

I have been enjoying my Christmas break and have been relaxing quite a bit. I am working a few hours each day for Longview Surgical group, but nothing stressful. :) I am glad for the $$. I babysat last night for my usual family. Last night was not really one of their shining moments, but they were fine. It is always nice to see them. :) Other than that I haven't been up to much, just chillin' with family and friends. :)

I really don't have much to say to ya'all so I guess I will leave it at that for now...

Happy @ Home

I have now been at home since Friday night and am enjoying my time away from school. It is nice to just be able to relax. :) I have been spending the last couple of day with family and Friends.

Saturday morning Teresa, mom and I went to Susie's house to be crafty. I tagged along to the sewing festival usually put on by Aunt Linda. It was fun to be crafty. This Saturday we are going there again to have a card making party. It should be fun. :)

Saturday evening my family and I went to see The Chronicles of Narnia. It was a really good movie I thought! I would definitely go back to see it in theatres if anyone wants to. lol. It is one I want to own as well...

On Monday I went out to Grandma and Grandad's with my Dad and Aunt Linda. It was nice to be out there again and to eat lunch, which is always good at Grandma's. :) I don't usually go out there with just Dad and Aunt Linda, so that was cool too. :)

Today I did the prep work for my work at Longview Surgical Group. I am helping out for a couple of weeks purging charts. It is nice to be able to make some money while at home. :)

Then later this afternoon Teresa and I went to Grandma and Grandpa's house and was able to have a good visit with them. :) We chatted and then played some cards. Despite the 3 or 4 games of pinochle we played I didn't win any of them. Oh well, I am used to that. lol. :)

I can already tell that this break will go by too quickly, better enjoy it while it lasts....

My Quarter

# of classes taken: 4

# of books "read": 10

# of Papers written: 19 (36 pages total)

# of tests taken: 6

# of hours it will take me to forget everything I learned: 24

Yay for the end of Fall Quarter!!

Can I go home yet? Please?!

So I am almost done with my paper of death (aka my English paper). All my other papers are finished so it is just this last one that is keeping me from enjoying anything tonight. I am giving up pretty soon and calling it good. I have my doubts that I will get a good grade on the paper, but there is only so much I can do. Papers are over rated anyway (although try telling that to an English professor...).

My roommate has left me. Yep, Bonnie was able to escape this stress sooner than I. It is a sad reality. However, my room is clean and I have it all to myself tonight! Yeah! (No offense Bonnie) lol. I was telling Emily earlier today that I will go home and watch TV and it will be weird because I won't have my commentator beside me. lol. :) I heart my roommate.

So tomorrow I am getting up early to take my friend Christine to the airport and then coming back and sleeping. lol. I will get up in time to look over once more all of my papers and then e-mail them out to the professors before my final at 1:00. This final is more of a party than anything else, so at least it won't be stressful. After that, I am done with SPU for the quarter!! I will come back to my room and pack and get ready to go. A couple of my friends and I are going to go out to dinner to celebrate being done for the quarter, so that will be nice. I don't know when I am leaving for home, but sometime tomorrow evening. It will be nice to be home.

Looking forward to seeing all of you soon!

This day has gone from bad to worse. I hope finals don't kill me.
3 papers down, 2.5 papers to go....

Finals Week

So, tomorrow is the official start of finals week. I am excited about it actually because it means the end of the quarter! Tomorrow I have my first and only test of finals week. lol. Unfortunately I have final class periods I have to attend and papers to still write. I have written 3 of the 5 papers I had. I have most of my English paper written and have yet to start on my Theology paper to write though. Oh well. I think I will do fine on my Economics test tomorrow. I have gotten B+'s on my tests so I figure I will do about the same on my final....we shall see. I guess technically I haven't studied very well, but I didn't study all that hard for the other tests in the class so....yeah.

Anyway, I am off to pick up Jonathan from his Seattle office and head to Renton for a night of semirelaxing. lol. We will see how relaxed I get with my thoughts always returning to the test tomorrow and the papers due Friday. heh.

See you all soon!

I am fairly annoyed at the moment. I have been up since 8:30 this morning and haven’t really gotten anything accomplished. I am having such a difficult time with this English paper. I can’t even decide where to start on the 7 page paper! The rough draft is due on Monday and although not all 7 pages need to be completed it would be nice because then I could get more of a critique. It is all just frustrating. I really have no idea why this class is so hard for me to write papers for. It sucks though. I think I could finish all 4 of my other papers this weekend if I wasn’t working on this lame one. Grrr.

Snow?!

Well it pretty much snowed all afternoon up here, however none of it stuck. It is still sorta raining outside right now and I have a feeling that it might snow and stick over night if it gets cold enough. So the two main questions on my mind are: 1)will classes be canceled tomorrow and 2) do I want classes to be canceled tomorrow. lol.

It was my last day at work this quarter today and I went home early because of the snow. hee hee. I probably could have stayed there but I wasn't sure if the snow would start sticking or not. So I figured it was as good an excuse as any to skip out early. lol.

On another note my paper count is up to 5! That is right I have 5 papers to write before next Friday. Ugh. I am only really concerned about one of them though (my English one). So, I will be working on those this weekend. Which will be hard since I have 3 parties and Tradition to go to this weekend. I will probably end up spending late nights working on them this next week. Double Ugh.

Anyway, I guess I should see about dinner soon. Hope you are all enjoying the weather. Hopefully I will actually be able to write about real snow tomorrow. :)
Keep me in your prayers over the next week. I will need them. ttfn

P.S. No Shave November is now over and it makes me sad. All the guys were just getting to look good when they shaved it all off. Sad day.
