Holiday Cheer at BYU

Who schedules a test the week of Thanksgiving when most people are already on their way home to be with family? I have great disdain for my professor who decided to torture us all with having to be in class on the Monday night before a holiday. I understand that you have nothing else better to do but it would be nice to not be a jerk all the time.

Great News

I was on CNN.com just now and I ran across and article saying that the prescription drug I use on occasion has been pulled from the market due to the possibility of fatal heart rhythms.

Great.

A Lesson Not Learned

Someday I will learn my lesson.

That someday was not today.

Lunch Dates

Today a certain boy made my day. We went to lunch together and he wanted to sit right by me. He couldn't even take his eyes off me...even though there were 6 other girls at lunch with us. He and I had great conversation he told me all about school and what he was doing with his life; I had the time of my life. If only he was 25 instead of just 5.

Ahhh such is life. I still enjoyed my lunch with him.

(along with Kim, Amber and Chelsea...I enjoyed your company too).

Please come back soon.

Super Senioritis

It hit me.

I officially have Senioritis, and unlike high school where I was already accepted into a college and nothing that I did was really going to change anything, the classes that I am taking now are some of my most important classes for grad schools. I'm sitting in the library and I literally cannot stay still. I've gotten up to go to the bathroom, filled my water bottle, thought about going to get something to eat when in reality all I should be doing is studying for a test that I have at 5:30 this evening. I do care about the grade that I get in this class but that doesn't seem to be much of a motivation at this point. I would like to be on the beach somewhere, preferably where its not snowing (it has snowed the past 2 days here) and just relaxing reading a good book.

Fortunately, this semester is my last semester of classes. Although I'm signed up for 3 classes winter semester, I don't have to take them if I don't want to. I'm definitely ready for a break from school and one cannot come fast enough.

The worst part about it is that I am a super senior (a senior + 1 year) so I'm pretty sure its twice as bad as it would be if I were just a regular senior. I really do hope that I can get through these next couple of weeks. I wouldn't be opposed to getting nice letters or calls or even care packages with words of encouragement and fun goodies. They would be much appreciated.

There are 2 things that I am really looking forward to though. First is that my friends Kim and Amber are coming out for a visit and I cannot wait to see them. They are truly the best and it will be nice to catch up and just hang out. Then second, my mom is coming out for Thanksgiving! Although I don't get to go home this year, its going to be a lot of fun having her here with me and my siblings for a quiet relaxing holiday without all the hustle and bustle that the holiday usually brings. The best part about it is that I will get to help make a lot of the dinner. I love to cook, and love to cook for other people even more. Every Sunday I cook for my brother and sister and nothing could make me happier. After Thanksgiving I have minimal amounts of work and a lot of studying and then on to my last semester as an undergrad. Its been a long time in the making!
