"Frosty the Snowman!"

That's right, my dear friends. Mark the day. Tuesday, Novemeber 18, 2008 marks the first day of snow in NC. Friday, November 21, 2008 marks the second day leaving a "dusting" on the ground. I am going to enjoy this winter, I can already tell. I love the snow. I wish it would snow everyday, if even just a little bit. They say that this winter is only going to get wetter and colder! YAY!

So life has been going pretty well. It's drawing to the end of the semester, so it's getting pretty draining. My average amount of sleep when from about 6 to about 4. I've been so tired recently. It's getting harder and harder to wake up. Luckily, though, I get a month break for Christmas. That's about a week and a half more than most schools. Yipee!

The bad part about being so very close to Christmas break, is that I'm still so very far away. I still have one 7-10 page paper to write for Environment Ethics on a topic I haven't even picked yet. Yikes. I have a 4-5 page paper to write on a movie of my choice (about a disability) and explain what signs and stuff prove that it's that disability. I've got to study for my history exam and my spanish exam. I'm not sure what to expect from either of the last two. I know that my spanish is an oral exam, but I've not been doing the best on though. Usually I get A's on those tests, but I've only gotten one A and one B. :(

I'm pretty sure that I can pull out at least a B in all my classes, but I really wanted a 4.0 this semester. I probably would have been able to do it if I had the same classes as last year. This year was a lot more challenging, and next semester is only going to be worse.

I picked my schedule for next semester. It's pretty cool. I have a class at 9 on MWF which kind of stinks and I have a class (potentially) at 8am at State on TH. But I'm dont by 1 on MWF and 4 on TTH. We'll see how things go.

I'm also trying to get a job. They're building this new place called Noodles & Co at Cameron Village. It looks and sounds really cool. It's not open yet, so I'm hoping that I can somehow get a job when it opens. I've applied already, so maybe I'll hear back? We'll see! It would be really awesome if it worked out.

Nothing else too exciting has been going on. I'm looking forward to finishing this school year just to say I'm halfway done. Yayyy. Haha.

Well, I think that's it for now. I'm going to go back to reading and such before I go to class.

Toodles to all you readers (all three of you! :)

Ready to be a true adult

Well, to all those Obama fans, congrats. I can't say that I'm celebrating along with you. Obama's ideals sound okay, for the most part, and I just hope that he follows through.

Life has been pretty busy recently. I'm on the go all day every day. A lot of times I don't think I have enough time in a day to do everything I want. That's partly a result of it being Corhuskin' week. It's the biggest tradition at Meredith. There are events and socials to attend. Meetings to go to. It's mayheeeeeeem. It's all over on Friday. Woo hooo.

Christmas is just around the corner (kind of). I'm so excited. Most of you know that Christmas is my favorite time of year and I start celebrating as soon as it's early enough to not be annoying.:) I think I'm going to get a new tree this year s othat I can actually have it in my room!

I'm think about either 1) going abroad this summer, or 2) doing the disney internship that Disney World offers. I don't know what I should do. Any opinions? I would love them!

Well, I'm sitting in class, but I'll update again soon!

Ciao dogs.
