Time flies when you're having... Fun?

Well, I am at the halfway point of my break. It's been one of those breaks that flies by, but you're not really sure why. I've had a few good times. Mostly I've been alone. Here's a list of the things I've done:)

I first house sat at the Welsh's house. I love house sitting. It gets a little lonely sometimes, but it's nice to come back to the house and be alone at the end of the day. Plus, I had a few visits and what not from Ana. We went out to get coffee and stuff. Andrew, Ana, and I all took a day trip to Wilmington. It was an okay trip. It would have been better had I not gone. It's easier to just go without seeing him than to have to say bye all over again. It was fun though. We went to the beach and to Michaelangelo's. It's a really good pizza place. You get all you can eat Pizza for like 5 bucks. It's pretty sweet. Then we watched Madagazcar, ate dinner, and then headed downtown where it started raining, so we ended up going to PCJ (Port City Java) and hung out there before heading back to get gas and drop Tim off. It was fun. Ana and I got to talk on the way home, which was nice. It's always nice to have an hour or so conversation with your buddies:)

I can't really remember much else I did. Ana and I made dinner for her family at some point. I think it was the night before the trip. I went out with Liz too. I hung out with the other Tim (my ex). I went to see Michael Alvarado perform at the Pour House. I haven't seen him perform since I was in high school. He's amazing. Look him up on iTunes. He has some amazing music. It was a lot of fun, a little bit of a high school flashback, but fun never the less. There were lots of kids and teachers from my high school. Super awkward.

Since then I house sat at the Stephenson's. I did even less there. I went shopping a few days, but other than that I sat around watching movies. I watched so many movies it's not even funny. I watched PS. I love you twice, The Bucket List, Eragon, Lisence to Wed, Transformers, Mrs. Doubtfire, and some more I can't even remember. I made lots of cookies and cakes and whatnot too.

Tim came up to Raleigh on Friday. I got to spend a little bit of time with him which was nice. He had to leave the next day to go to Alabama to play in the band for the PapaJohns.com bowl. We lost today, sad.

That's about all that's happened thus far. I'm heading to Wilmington tomorrow morning. On Wednesday we're heading to Myrtle Beach for New Years. Then we're heading back here and I'm getting my Wisdom teeth out:( Not looking forward to that at all. Then I'm headed back to school to finish off the first half of my college career. Nuts!!!

Well, that's it for now y'all. I hope you're all doing well and had an amazing Christmas!!!

If I don't report back beforehand, have a happy new year!!!!

The first of many ....

Well,

I am officially on Christmas break. I think I must be one of the few people who actually aren't that thrilled to have it. I mean it'll be nice to have a break from work, but I hate not being around people Every break is the hardest thing for me to deal with. Mostly because I don't really have one place to go to. I go where people will take me in. It's just such a hassle. Plus, I'm one of those people who likes routines. I don't like being thrown into break mode where I'm not around the same people or doing the same things. It's always a rough transition for me.

The hardest part is always saying bye to Tim. Most of you know by now that I'm not a crier. When I do cry, it's a pretty big deal. Well, it seems like every time he goes home for longer than two weeks, I lose it. I don't know if it stemmed from stuff that happened when I was younger or what, but it's always just so hard for me to say bye -- to my friends and to my family. It's really interesting and exhausting. It might possibly have to do with my phobia of being alone. I really can't take being alone. It's a good thing there will be dogs at the house I am house sitting for otherwise I think I would die.

Well, the semester is over. I didn't do as well as I hoped, but I did a little better than I expected. I got my first B in a Spanish class since high school. I was 1.2 points away from an A! Dang it! Haha. It's okay though. I am getting sick of school. By the time school gets out in the summer I will have been going to school straight for five semesters! YIKES!

Now that I am on break, I will probably write here a lot more in order to keep myself from going nuts. So stay tuned. As for right now, I'm going to dinner with the family I am house sitting for. Until next time!!

"Santa Claus is coming to town!"

Well, hello everyone.

It's that time of year again. No, I'm not talking about super sales or hot chocolate next to the fire. I'm talking about exam times. Somehow it crept up before anyone could stop it. Usually I'm a nutcase this time of year, but it doesn't seem so bad --- YET. I've only got to take two exams. One is an oral for Spanish which should only take about fifteen minutes. The other is a history exam which will be a little tougher. My other two exams are papers. I'm not sure how those classes will go -- but my finals in those two classes will make or break the grade between an A and a B.

With classes out of the way, Christmas break seems within reach. As the saying goes, "so close, yet so very far away." Christmas break is going to be a little lonely this year. I'm going to be house sitting for two weeks straight. It'll be nice to have some alone time, but it'll also get really dreary. Luckily, both houses have dogs:) After the 28th, things should look up. I'm going to Wilmington with the State Suite and then going to Myrtle Beach with the Nails for new years. It should be pretty exciting.

The past week or two has been pretty cool. I actually got motivated and did most of my work ahead of time. I think that might be why I'm not as stressed as usual. I got to spend Thanksgiving with Tim's family. They make some of the best food. I feel like I gained a good twenty pounds -- but, hey, what's Thanksgiving without that feeling? State creamed Carolina at the football game which made the week that much better:)

This week has only been about two days long, but it seems like it's been two. I've not been sleeping well recently. Last night I was up until four, but that was mostly because I had this urge to get in touch with some family that I've not seen since I was in fifth grade. Weird, I know. Luckily, I found most of them and I've gotten to talk to them today! Woo hoo! So much has changed, that it's just weird to think about. I guess that's what eight or nine years does. Time flies!!

Well, it's late and I should be sleeping -- so here I go!!

I'll catch up later!!
