Last one!

So I didn’t blog post last night because I completely forgot! Which is incredibly weird because we’ve done in every Sunday for fifteenish weeks! So that was an epic fail haha I wasn’t even doing anything at all last night except for knitting. This is our last blog post, which is kind of sad. I think I already wrote about this but I really enjoyed blogging a lot more than I thought I would. It’s a way to vent about anything I want and it’s nice knowing that someone else/ my entire group is reading it. With this I also got to know three of my other classmates really well and I know that I will continue to bug them for the rest of our four years here!

It’s almost Christmas, which is so exciting! The same as Thanksgiving, it’s weird how much more the holidays mean to me and I’m kind of assuming everyone else, now that we’re away from home. It’s weird to think that now one of the few times I’ll get to see my family during the year, from now through the rest of my life will be during holidays. It’s going to be especially strange when I stop coming home for the summers.

I now like going to school away from home a lot more than I did when I first got here. It’s nice to come home to an entirely new group of friends, now I just have double the friends, which is pretty cool. I still sit and think about how everything would be if I went to school in my hometown with all of my old friends. I sometimes get jealous hearing them all talking and laughing about the same experiences and wish that I too could have a stronger bond with them. Oh well, I think next semester is going to be ten times better because I won’t have that awkward first few weeks. I’ll know what I’m doing school work wise and know what to expect. I’m also going to try to get a lot more involved like I was back home, I think that will help a lot! I can’t believe I have yet to do an hour of community service since I got here, when it was the story of my life last year. That and theater took up more than half my life back home and I’m not participating in either.

I’m going to try to get into theater stuff here, I thought I had too much stuff going on at the beginning of this year to commit but I’ve realized the more stuff I do and the more time I spend doing other things, the more productive I in turn become. I think I might have an 8AM everyday next semester but I’ll be done at 11:30 every day, which in my mind is totally worth it. Right now I have an 8AM MWF and don’t finish with class until 4:00. Granted, I have a three-ish hour break between but, it just makes for a really long day.

I’m nervous for finals, even though I only have three left! Which is fantastic, I was so bitter over thanksgiving break that I would have to study but now I’m finished with three of my classes! Score! I have the project for this class left, and then a calc and chemistry exam. Chemistry blows my mind, how some of this stuff comes easily to people is beyonddddd me. I’m hoping though that at some point next semester we start hitting stuff that’s new to both me and everyone else so I feel more even with the chemistry team here. I hate how some people have already learned this stuff, it makes me feel like I’m worlds behind. I’m completely determined though to pass chemistry with flying colors just to prove some of the snotty, “how did you not know that kids” wrong. I will be done with everything by next Wednesday as 9:45 AM. Haha and there will be nothing else I can do about anything.

I didn’t study or do anything this last weekend. I had four exams and two quizzes last week, so I just chilled the entire weekend. I’m starting to regret that a little bit just because I could have done a little bit of something… especially like this post. I did knit a lot though. I’m knitting my mom a scarf for Christmas, typical. I’m going to attempt to make it look really cool though, so watch out! I don’t know what to do for my brother and my dad though, my parents said we weren’t going to do any presents this year for Christmas because we’re going to the Caribbean. I have no idea why my parents decided that we should go there, we’ve never done anything close to that before, but I’m excited! Except Christmas shopping for my family is one of my favorite things to do especially wrapping them. I live for wrapping Christmas presents. I stay up until three or four in the morning sitting in our basement hidden in a room watching hours of Christmas movies, tangled in ribbon. It’s ridiculous how much joy I get out of those hours of wrapping things.

I love how it snowed here this weekend and I hope we get some snow in Ohio for when I’m home. It makes winter and Christmas so much better. Winter’s my favorite season-in case you wondering. And I’m excited for break, I’m just going to work all the time, or try to work all the time! I’m trying to work four nights a week, because I adore all the people at my job, so I completely don’t mind going. My restaurant job only sucked during the school year because I would leave for school at 730 in the morning and get home from work at 11PM, because it was too long of a drive to go home between work and school/practice that woud end at 3:30 or practice until 5:00. Other than that it’s so much fun to go when you have no school work to worry about.

I wish you all a Merry Christmas! Happy holidays and whatever’s appropriate! I’m going to continue demanding group meetings even after this class is over, so get ready! Seee YUH! <3
