Home!

Well, I'm home safe and sound! Phillip and I drove through the storm on Friday... it took us 4 hours for what is usually just a 1.5 hour drive, but we got here! He stayed until yesterday afternoon, and thank goodness there was a break in the weather for him to get back home in less than 2 hours!

I've been working on getting myself moved back into my bedroom -- and making it conducive to living! It's quite a slow process. The majority of my Christmas presents are bought and wrapped... there are only a few left! I'm looking forward to the Christmas Eve service tomorrow night, and then Christmas is on Thursday!! I can't believe how quickly it has come up!

I made a deal with myself that if I made Dean's List this semester, I'll apply to take 21 credits Fall and Spring of next year so that I can get my extension to teach in Middle School (which would pretty much guarantee me a job in a school when I graduate). I think it's going to happen! I don't have all of my grades back yet, but the two classes I was most worried about I got a B- and an A- in, so I'm thinking I have a good chance of getting it!

The day after Christmas I'm headed to Phillip's house to spend some time with his family, which will be nice since I haven't spent much time with his older siblings. Then I start work on Monday! Horray!

Leaving

Everyone's leaving me! I found out this morning that one of my friends left on Tuesday and I had no idea. Two of my roommates are also gone now. It's so sad knowing that I'm not coming back next semester... but I know that I'll be here often to visit!

I'm leaving for home on Friday! Phil's bringing me home and staying until Monday, so that will be nice! And we are going to play Killer Bunnies with Adam and Nicole on Saturday, which we are greatly looking forward to! Phil bought the game, but it's just not the same with only two people and no expansion packs!

Christmas is in one week!

blogging in 11 minutes

i have about 11 minutes before i need to run out the door for breakfast before my 9:00 class, so i thought i'd update! i came back from thanksgiving break saturday afternoon and was able to spend some time with phil before classes started again today. it was really nice -- and i was planning on sleeping in my apartment, but mrs. goodberry didn't want me by myself here so she insisted that i stay at their house. how nice she is!

8 minutes...

i have two projects that i haven't started yet that are due by finals week... i actually don't have many finals, which is nice! i'll be coming home with phil on the 19th, and he's staying the weekend!!

5 minutes...

i'm spending most of these minutes trying to think of something to write about -- and having little luck. so i think i'm going to use the time more productively and get ready to go! have a great week!!
