Finished!

Well, I have finally finished what has been the hardest semester of my college career. Now, please understand the classes weren't that tough, (Well, maybe Statistics) but it was a semester of such shock! I have been so out of practice, and I just had no motivation. I think this semester, I just realized, I have no idea what I want to do, and my Master's degree is so specific. I just keep thinking, 'its always a good idea to have a master's.' Knowing that, helped me some days and others nothing helped. I would drag myself to get things done. I wish you all could have seen me study for my statistics exam. At one point, I really did get in bed and cover up saying, "I dont want to do it anymore!" It was a sad state of affairs, and kind of makes me laugh at how pitiful I am! haha!

Anywho, I am fine. I got it done, and now, I am one semester and a paper away from finishing. Praise the Lord!! Then, who knows!! All I know is I am going on a mission trip with my friend Julia to Mexico for 10 days to work in an orphanage. It makes me so excited to be a part of a team again! I can't believe it! I have to raise $375, but after Spain, I trust God will provide! Then, I am off to Germany for a few months at least. My brother leaves in April, and I know it is going to take everything I have to keep myself from buying a ticket and heading over with them.

I miss Europe!! I watch movies about it, and everytime I see something in Europe everyone knows if I have been there or if I want to go there. I think my roommate is tired of hearing about all the places I have seen. Although, most days it all feels like a dream! I can't believe I got to live there!

Now, I am looking forward to going home for Christmas. My mom got so excited about me having 3 weeks to spend at home for Christmas. Its definitely a perk of being a student. Once I start a realy job, I will just get 2 or 3 days. All I can say to that is, 'BOOOO.' Because my mom's house is so great! I look forward to the fireplace!

I wish my house in Fayetteville had a fireplace. Our thermostat doesnt work properly, so most days we manually turn it on and off because it stays on too long when you leave it alone. With gas prices, that is not an option. However, the cold here is tough but nothing compares to my apartment last year. Sifra and Melina, you guys are troopers!! I FROZE last year. Now, only a couple of times have my hands turned blue. HAHA! Janell told me she would buy me some gloves. Isn't she great! ;)

Well tomorrow, I head to work again, but I have the rest of the day after to do whatever I want without even thinking about studying or reading. Its a good feeling! One more semester to go...
