Mid December Update

Well its been too long since I last posted, but I've been busy wrapping up this semester and coming home.  The last two and half weeks of the semester flew by and all my finals went really well.  I am so anxious to see my grades, though.  I check to see if they've been posted like every hour because I have a feeling that I'm going to have good grades.  I just want to see how I did!

Although I was busy cruising through the last couple weeks of school, my roommate, Laura, and I managed to find some time to have our own little Christmas.  We went out for dinner, took pictures with our Christmas tree, watched a movie, and opened a couple little gifts.  It was sooooo much fun and such a nice evening together!

Now Christmas is nearing along with a new year!  I'm having such a good time wrapping presents, shopping, and baking. It's also super nice to be home with my family and taking a short, sweet break from school!

A Farm Thanksgiving

This year my family hosted my mom's family for Thanksgiving.  It was sure nice to have relatives come to us this year on the farm.  Everyone sure enjoyed themselves!

We shot guns!  Well BB guns to start with and then moved up to bigger and better guns.

We celebrated Erin's 17th birthday, which is only the second time her birthday has fallen on Thanksgiving since she was born!

We had homemade donuts the morning after Thanksgiving!

We played games like Scrabble!



We Skyped family, and it was sure nice to see them!

Overall, we had a good time filling our tummies and enjoying each other's company all while having some good laughs!  Hope we can host Thanksgiving more often!

Round Two of Exams...Done

Well round two of exams came to an end on Wednesday for me.  Thank goodness this semester is moving along!  Round three of exams starts this Monday.  I just want to remind my readers that from when I had my first exam this semester to when I have my last exam this semester (during finals week) I will have averaged one exam per week this semester.  It's just not nice or fair!  No relaxing for me!

On a good note, though, I have been doing quite well in school and am pleased with my performance.  I keep making little improvements as the semester goes on.  This is great because I keep getting more tired, more worn out, and more work and responsibilities added to my plate.  I like doing well and improving!  None of my classes are a walk in the park...each requires plenty of work and time.  However, I can confidently say that Organic Chemistry 348 is my most difficult class.  It's tough and I never want to take it again!  With that being said, I hope I pass the class.  Otherwise I may have to rethink never wanting to take the class again because it's pretty much a requirement if I want to graduate and be whatever it is I decide to be when I grow up.  Pharmacist?  Lab technician? etc.

Now I better get back to finalizing my five page paper that is due next week.  I also need to study for my biology exam that is on Monday.
