I finished my finals today. I'm feeling pretty good about them. At least...I'm sure I passed all my classes and will not have to go back to Concordia! I have one last project to finish, and then I'm actually done. I'll have my Bachelor of Arts! It's very exciting.
Other new things:
1) I am furthering my plans to go to Florida. I finally sent a letter to my aunt. I haven't heard anything back yet, but...it's a start.
2) I'm starting an internship/volunteer type thing with my best friends husband and his "team" of people that are making a website. I'll be helping them with editing. It's a pretty exciting opportunity for me.
3) I haven't really gotten into the Christmas spirit. It's just kind of seemed like something that was really far off. But today I went Christmas shopping, and also went out to dinner to celebrate being done with finals, and I feel a little bit more...cheery now. And exhausted. I really don't like to shop. Not for long periods of time anyways. I just get tired and stressed out. And even though I hate it, I know that snow will add to the Christmas cheer. Something else that might make me feel like Christmas really is coming would be to go around and look at cool light displays. Anybody know of any cool ones I could check out?

Favorite moment of the day
BEFORE I tell you my favorite moment of the day, I have something else to say:
It is a typical Minnesota Dilemma to have just thought to myself "I'm REALLY hungry, but I don't want to get out from under my blankets!" hahaha. It's sooo cold in my house right now! But I do love that under-the-covers-warmth feeling.
Ok, so favorite moment of the day:
I definitely saw a car dressed up as Rudolph. I laughed so much! It was just what I needed after my hard day at school. I noticed one antler sticking up above their passenger door first, and then I looked and there was one above their drivers door too. I was sooo amused that I immediately started trying to take pictures with my phone so I could send a pic to my besties. As I'm driving next to it trying to get a pic, I passed it and there it was: attached to their front grill was a big, red, lovely looking ball. A Rudolph nose!!!!!! This was the point where I really started to freak out. I finally got a really good picture that had all the antlers and the nose in it when we were stopped at a red light. The lady driving totally saw me taking the picture and smirked.
I should have given her a thumbs up. She made my day.

*ahem*
Why is it that I can never get everything done that I think I can or that I want to?
I went to a Christmas Party tonight at the house of one of the people I am a PCA for. It was wonderful and lovely, and it kind of felt like I had coworkers again. I never get to work with anyone except my two clients, so... I kind of miss having coworkers. I like to talk to my clients, but it's just the two of them...not a handful of people like I usually have had. I really enjoyed my time with them. BUT, her apartment is in PRIOR LAKE. which is...very, very far away from my home. So by the time I got home tonight it was already 8:40pm.
My plan was to attack some homework, attack my room (there were still plenty of things that had not been put away yet or unpacked, from my move the day before thanksgiving!), and be asleep by 12...
Yeah. It's 11:55 and all I did was attack my room.
ohhh well. I do feel better knowing that I got some of my stuff put away. I feel more organized. And there is STILL more to do, organizing wise.
But, I guess it never ends does it...
off to do some homework!

Maybe a little bit Selfish
I know that this might seem a little bit selfish, but I'm going to write a Christmas Wish List. The REASON I'm doing this is really to help other people. PLUS, I'm curious what other people want too. So comment away!
NOW, TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT (what you really really want, cause I told you what I want what I really really want).
Thanks.
Buh bye.
- Jewelery. Any kind really, I just want more. Lots more! Especially necklaces. I don't know why, but I really love necklaces. Thrift stores often carry jewelry that I like, especially Clothes Mentor.
- A nice soft and fuzzy robe.
- Squishy cheap normal pillows, like the ones at Target or Walmart. I just need some new pillows.
- A CD by Mandisa. I don't even know if they have one or 20, but I love the music Mandisa makes and I waaaaaant it.
- A Michael Buble CD wouldn't hurt.
- more Glee music. I love the music from Glee
- I want some audio books. I know that sounds weird, but...if you had to drive as much as I have to drive, you would understand.
- Anything home-made that a person would want to make for me. I'm really into that stuff right now, and I love getting gifts that I know lots of hard work went into making them by the person giving them. It just really means so much more.
- new soft slippers WITH a heel. My favorite ones were some flat thin slippers I got from target for 2 bucks. They are getting a bit worn out...
- Money is always good. I need money for two specific reason (among many others): My trip to China (if you're interested in knowing more about that, email me) and my possible move to Florida (which is unknown at the moment because well... I haven't asked my relatives that live down there yet).
NOW, TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT (what you really really want, cause I told you what I want what I really really want).
Thanks.
Buh bye.
Avoiding Homework...
I really really just want to write right now. Unfortunately, writing my papers is something I have no interest in. I'm a little afraid to blog right now because I think I might sound a little redundant. Nothing really new is happening in my life and all I want to do is complain about how much I hate everything right now.
I hate school.
I hate the weather.
I need to exercise.
Certain people drive me nuts.
Sound familiar? Yeah, I thought so.
On an update, I actually really like being back at my parents house. I just feel more at peace there. The downsides? People pop into my room CONSTANTLY. haha. But I actually kinda like it. I like feeling like I'm involved in something and that my family just wants to know what I'm up to. On the other hand... I think I might really need to get a lock for my door =P. Especially for in the morning time...my parents never fail to open my door, for some God-forsaken reason, and their annoying little dog never fails to come in and lick my face. I think I'm actually starting to get use to it, because I barely noticed Julia's little tongue going into my ear this morning. Yes. My Ear. She likes to lick ears.
The other downsides: my room is probably 1/3 the size of my old room
I don't have cable (which is a good and a bad thing. Mostly a good thing, but still)
My parents house...is falling apart AND it's filthy. Might sound like some pretty dreadful things to you, but it's something I'm sorta use to so whatevs.
I can't wait until I'm done with School! I only have tomorrow, then ONE week of regular classes, and three days of finals! It feels like it'll never get here, but I know it will and then I'll be DONE! I also kinda feel like I'm going to fail every class, but my mom says that's a normal feeling. I want to say that I'm trying not to fail...but I'm not really trying. I juuuust can't try anymore. I'll scrape by though, I know I will. Annnyways, one of the reasons I can't wait to be done with school is so that I can start cleaning up my parents house. Right now I feel like I never have any energy to start working on big projects, like decluttering for my mom. She's a shop-a-holic, and thus has many...maaaanny things she doesn't need. It's starting to close in on us and suffocate us. It needs to be dealt with, and I feel like I might be able to start working on this once I'm finally finished with school.
So there you have it. I guess I wasn't TOO redundant, but this sure was a huge post!
I'll post pictures of my room before I decorated it and after I decorated it. I LOVE decorating, it's so much fun! My bestie got to see my room when it only had new paint and nothing else and then I texted her a pic of my newly decorated room...she said it didn't even look like the same room! I love it, but I may be a bit biased...
