Enjoying the break!

Hey! It has been a great time at home! I had a busy but awesome Christmas; Christmas Eve my family went to church, I went and picked up my neices and we drove into church and then back out to my house to have snacks and family time, which is always a lot of fun! Christmas Day my dad had to wake me up...and my sister and her fiance came and we did stockings and gifts with them, and breakfast. I went and had a nap (something that usually doesn't happen for me on Christmas day)!! We went later on to my brother and sister-in-law's house for gifts with them and Christmas dinner. It was delicious! Boxing Day (for you american readers--the day after Christmas ;) ) My sister-in-law, mom and aunt went for a girls breakfast, and then went shopping! It was a lot of fun!!
I hope you are all having a great break and great time with family! How was your Christmas?

I am home!

24 hours later, and one snowstorm later I made it home! I was one of the lucky ones, having my flight cancelled out of St.John last night! I called a friend and got a ride to my aunt's house, and my ticket got changed to tonight at the same time I was supposed to fly out yesterday! I am home....finally! I am so happy to be here too!
Exams went well, they are over! Praise the Lord! I am home for 3 weeks and don't have to do anything! I am singing tomorrow for the church worship service...which should be fun!
I hope you are all doing well! Leave one!
Merry Christmas!

Christmas Banquets!

So, I am wondering why school cannot just finish after classes are done. Why do we need finals? They just stress out the students and profs as well, as they have to put the exam together, and sit there for 2 hours until we finish them. So, my question is what is the point?
Anyway, last night was the Christmas banquet, it was a lot of fun!! I went with a big group of girls, and we had a really great time!
Today was the Awana Christmas banquet, and we had to go set up in the afternoon, then go back down later for the actual banquet. It was good, but could have been better if I was feeling better.I am ready to go home! I leave in 6 sleeps, and I'm flyin! A week from yesterday I will be home! I cannot wait!
Just a little poem to leave you with:

T’was the night before finals,
And all through the college,
The students were praying,
For last minute knowledge.
Most were quite sleepy,
But none touched their beds,
While visions of essays
Danced in their heads.Out in the taverns,
A few were still drinking,
And hoping that liquor
Would free up their thinking.In my own room,
I had been pacing,
And dreading exams I soon would be facing.My roommate was speechless,
Her nose in her books,
And my comments to her
Drew unfriendly looks.I drained all the coffee,
And brewed a new pot,
No longer caring that
My nerves were shot.I stared at my notes,
But my thoughts were muddy,
My eyes went a blur,
I just couldn't study."Some pizza might help,"
I said with a shiver,
But each place I called
Refused to deliver.I'd nearly concluded,
That life was too cruel,
With futures depending
On grades had in school.When all of a sudden,
Our door opened wide,
And Patron Saint Put-It-Off,
Ambled inside.His spirit was careless,
His manner was mellow,
All of a sudden,
He started to bellow."On Cliff Notes, on Crib Notes,
On Last Years Exams.
On Wingit and Slingit,
And Last Minute Crams."His message delivered,
He vanished from sight.
But we heard him laughing,
Outside in the night.Your teachers have pegged you,
So just do your best.
Happy Finals to All,
And to all a Good Test.

The sooner I can go home the better!

Not too much longer now and I can go home. I am ready to get away from Sussex, and get away from everyone and everything for 3 weeks! I am very excited about this as my dad was having health problems again and I just want to go home and give him a big hug! I'm finding that I'm missing my family a lot more this semester, I guess because of everything that has happened. I cannot wait to see my neices and nephew, and siblings and parents! I think this will be a relaxing time at home!! 1 paper, which I want to finish tonight, and 3 finals, which I'm not too worried about and I'm leaving on a jet plane! Ciao
