My winter break has been awesome so far!  I have opened all of my presents early (since my sister and Adam will be leaving town for Christmas), picked up my wedding ring (Adam and I both have one now), and I went to a Christmas party a couple of days ago.  We just ate and hung out, and watched Christmas Vacation.  I have now seen all four National Lampoon's Vacation movies.  I actually decided to get my Dad Christmas Vacation and Groundhog Day for Christmas.  I had a wonderful time Saturday night.  I got to see Jennifer, Taro, and Beth...people who I don't get to see very often.  We reminisced about the good times, enjoying good food and conversation.  It was awesome!  I would love to see Jennifer again before I leave, but she may be too busy.  She let us borrow some more anime too! ^_^  To say the least, this has been a wonderful and exciting break so far.  I'll be going to my Grandma's for Christmas and besides that, I don't really have any plans.  Merry Christmas everyone! 

It's almost time for Fall break and I am so excited!  Only one more day and I get to go home for an entire week...this is awesome!  This semester has gone by so fast....I found myself calculating the total number of papers I had to write this semester and it came out to 14!  (1 for speech, 2 for English, 2 for Lincoln, 1 for INFL, a total of 8 for my two philosophy classes!) No wonder I felt so overwhelmed, and I bet it will be worse next semester!  Dang!  It's dizzying, but at least it is almost over.  I plan on doing some volunteering, enjoying a Thanksgiving dinner with my family, hunting for a job (among other errands), and enjoying my vacation.  I can't wait!  ^_^
