Dead Days and Goldfish!

Today is the beginning of loverly Dead Days. If you're not familiar of it, it's basically two days (Thursday and Friday) during the week before finals where we have no school. Dead Days are supposed to be used so that you have two full days of studying for finals. I spent it...studying for an hour, and now eating goldfish crackers...they are the wholesome snack that smiles back!!

I may go to a movie tonight, and maybe shop with the sister tomorrow. Yes I am utilizing my Dead Days to the fullest! Ok, seriously I will study!!! I have three finals next week. Two on Monday and an enormi one on Wednesday. It is absolutely fantastic that my Physiology final is comprehensive!!! I hope you took note in the sarcasm! I am not excited at all about it, but looking back at my notes it's all coming back to me. Wonderful!!

This Saturday is supposed to be a meteor shower...I believe the Germinids. Or something like that. I was hoping to bonfire it this time, but the forecast predicts RAIN! What the heck! So hopefully one of these days a bonfire on the beach will happen and it will be great! We will see!

As for Winter Break coming up, I can't tell you how excited I am!!! Hopefully it will be spent drawing, doing some interning, and resting up. I am thoroughly excited! I'm also that maybe..just maybe!!! My mom and I will make a trip down to Chula Vista to tour the Olympic Training Center. How cool would that be?! Of course I think it's cool, cause why not?! Definitely hoping that will happen. Such a shame Chula Vista is sooooo far south from where we are. Can you say...EXTREME Road Trip?! But hey...what's traveling down to Chula Vista when compared to traveling to Las Cruces New Mexico?! It's a piece of pie!!!

I hope everyone is in good spirits this holiday season! I am trying to be. I do need to get some Christmas cards!!! lol. Boy o boy...I still have one more person to finish up on Christmas shopping...but I am done with most. Ok...off to the races!!

'Tis the Season!

ELLO!!! And Season's Greetings! Last night was opening night of Christmas Tree Lane. If you're not familiar with it, it's basically a few blocks of houses all decked out with Christmas lights, decorations, etc. As per tradition with my mama we went last night to opening night. There's only a couple days where you can walked down Christmas Tree Lane, and the rest of the time you drive down it. They have lights hung from tree to tree, and music playing. It's just wreaks of Christmas cheer. So in the FREEZING temperatures my mama, my bubba (dog), and I walked down the lane. It was all fine and dandy except Buffy was completely freaked out with the amount of people and instantly jumped up on me to imply "Mom, carry me!" So that I did...taking turns with "Grandma" haha. Bubba was in her Christmas Sweater and inside my jacket. She did manage to walk a little bit until we'd hit a spot where there'd be more people, in which case, she freaked out again, and well...wanted to be carried. Other than that, I had a great time. The decorations are starting to become repititive so there's not a house that just looks new. There is one house on the block towards the end that goes all out. I don't have a picture of it, but it's amazing. Pretty much it's ideal that they're the last house on Christmas Tree Lane. It's great! Tons of lights, lasers, a train, "snow", a giant lit clock tower thing...it's crazy! But all in all, it was a great time...and definitely marked the Christmas Season!!!

In other news, finals are in two weeks! Thank goodness. I'm so ready for this semester to be done with. Next semester in March I'll be writing how petrified I am for my interview for the Athletic Training program. In which I'll write about in my other blog regarding that journey! Otherwise, I am done with my Christmas shopping...sort of, and hopefully some plans I've made with some people will follow through. I'm definitely looking forward to this winter break as I feel it is MUCH needed!! So until then I will keep this post short. Until next time!
