A little bit of R&R

. . . oh my goodness. when i started this blog (a week or so ago), i decided i was going to blog everyday. boy, was i mistaken on that! life has been overwhelming these past couple of days/week because of finals and the last week of class. it is safe to say, that in a span of 2 days, i got about 8 hours of sleep or so. i took my last final today **was that really today, self? wow!**. i dont think i have done that before in my entire life. consequently, i am able to get some needed "R&R" now!

my!! there has been alot happening since i talked to you last! i have taken 4 finals, went home to see my brother perform a christmas play, seen my sister survive her first semester in college, gotten a new roomie, and bought christmas presents!!! i think its quite funny that i made A's in my science classes and a B in my old testament class. per my mother: "she can diagnose you, but dont ask her about the old testament." My home church had a preschool christmas performance and guess who had a solo: C-A-D-E. "When i go to sleep at night, I will not be scared. . . " <-- was his solo, and he did it great! it is so funny to see him get shy in front of people because he doesnt have a shy bone in his body--got it from mom ;). Claire came home from her 1st semester at Tech! she survived hard classes, crazy weather, rush, and all! She is loving the college life. One of my roommates (courtney) is not returning next semester, so we got a replacement: brandi from Cali! All of us in the apartment are excited for the new semester- but think it will be weird with courtney not here. we are excited to see what next semester holds!! Lastly, I bought roomies, family, and myself christmas presents! Of course, I love christmas shopping and i am excited to say that i can finally celebrate christmas stress free now because school is over! I love buying gifts and watching people open them-- the joy on their faces makes me wish i had all the money in the world to buy presents and give one to everybody!

at the moment i am watching you've got mail in my pajamas in my apartment by myself. i dont think it could get any better right now. i love relaxing alone, but sometimes i wish my girlfriends are with me! movies with roomies in pajamas is the best. you should try it if you havent ever!!!

Notes to self as you depart: dont wear shoes that rub blisters if you are expected to walk around at work for 5+ hours. it does not end well for your heels/balls of your feet. you might have to put ice on your feet :( which is not fun, especially if you are tired.
