nightcrawlers!

1. had a completely unproductive day. went to the mall and watched the SNOW and had a sleepover with friends! 
2. our night was totally wholesome and fun. we ate sleepover food and had candy and watched two movies. YAY. 
3. it snowed forever. from 1 pm until late tonight. it was so pretty and made everything look white and snowy. it felt just like christmas!

all that i want to do is go to bed! and i want to have my semester be over. so i am going to go to sleep and when i wake up maybe the semester will be done! okay, so that won't happen. but. i can still go to bed and at least hope. i also hope that snow it still on the ground when i wake up! i LOVE snow and it made this day so much better. i'm ready for sunday--it's time to be super productive. got lots of work to do before this semester can be over. hope everyone had a great saturday! did i mention that our team won a crazy game today? yeah buddy.

no nap!

1. went to italian class and came back and took a nap! cleaned/organized my room this afternoon before my friend came over and we went out for dinner. it was good to catch up.
2. had a fun night with all my friends! it was a good way to start off my last weekend of classes of the semester! i hope tomorrow night is just as successful. 
3. i am excited for tomorrow!

goodnight : ) i got exciting news today! i forgot to mention that in the first part so i'll mention it now.

dolla dolla bills y'all

1. last day of classes on a thursday for the semester! it's a great feeling. three days of classes next week and then it's all over! friday is going to be so easy tomorrow, and this weekend should be awesome.
2. won a $25 gift card to the mall today, whoop whoop. it was at the meeting for the honors fraternity that i'm in and my name got drawn out of the hat. good thing i already had plans to go to the mall this weekend to christmas shop...
3. out for a fun night with the girls...but blogging before i leave for once : ) 

this blog has taken forever, haha. i am being distracted by all my friends. but i am trying, i really am! okay...i give up. the blogging is done for the night.

"there's blood everywhere!"

1. had my italian quiz today...it went pretty well. it was hard, but it was the last one of the semester! yippee for classes ending in a week.
2. did some work on a paper due next tuesday and then had a fun night with friends! we went out to dinner, made christmas cookies, and planned our last partay : )
3. the toe incident. oh my goodness.

not tonight. too tired and too ready to make up for the sleep that i lose due to the toe incident...hope everyone has safe travels today! also, it's december first! YAY!

getting better i think

1. had a pretty good day today. interesting classes at least and i did some homework for later in the week already. studied for my italian quiz...wish me luck!
2. my day got better after this evening. i enjoyed talking. and then i got to go out with my roommate and see our friends. 
3. tomorrow is posed to be a great day! simply because it involves cookie making/decorating and dinner with friends. and more talking.

i'm still feeling kind of sick so i am going to get to bed. hope that everyone had a good tuesday and that hump day is even better!

snow is lightly falling

1. had an alright day. italian class was really short but i need to prepare for the quiz on wednesday. did homework and prepped for my genocide presentation. i think it went pretty well. 
2. decorated the apartment for christmas! we have a mini tree with lights and mini ornaments, christmas lights on the wall, a wreath, a poinsettia, a holiday candle, a light up glass thing from my mom, and ALOT of paper snowflakes. the best roomies are the ones who love christmas together!
3. watched their eyes were watching god for class and it made me think about a lot of things. surprisingly good movie, but i only read an excerpt from the book.

i look up from my computer and see christmas decorations. this is such a great feeling! it cheered me up after the not-so-great day i had. i hope that this week starts to look up and i am sure the decorations will help that process. my plan is to be really productive this week so that i can focus on school work and then be able to have a good time this weekend and the last few days of classes. so ready for the semester to be over. but i've loved it all so far!

season of giving

1. had an okay day. drove back to school and did work all day. i am nervous that my presentation won't be long enough so i need to make sure i talk slow and elaborate a lot. 
2. bought a poinsettia and have a few christmas decorations from home that cheer the apartment up some, but i'm ready to have these last three weeks fly by and then head back home! 
3. 3 weeks. 5 weeks. but i guess number isn't important, right? (haha).

bucket list item for tonight: make sure that where i am living is always decorated for christmas. it makes everything so much more cheerful! but only after thanksgiving has had it's time to shine. i hope everyone remembers that thanksgiving should not be the only day of thanks, and that people remember what this time of year should be about. it's especially hard living in the western culture, but i always freak out over what to get people for christmas. i LOVE giving presents and always want to find just the present that will make people light up with happiness and appreciation. but i also have to keep in mind that the act of giving is what is most important. and i should (and try to) extend that giving to those in need. i'm not trying to sound preachy right now, just realistic. i just took a quick break and googled operation christmas child and found that you can pack and send a box online for only $35! i chose to give a box to a 10-14 year old girl and got to pick the items to include, and also send a note! i wanted to do it by hand but ran out of time and missed the deadline, so i did it online. how cool is that?!
