Santa Clause is Coming to town!

It has been GREAT being at home!  I love it!  I love the weather- although I do admit I was hoping for another random 80 degree hot streak like last year.  But sitll, 52 is nice.  =]  Although I am now getting adjusted to that being cold, not quite, but getting their.  I am even okay with the wind.  Its just great to be in Santa Maria. I love it here! =]

Today my mom and I drove to Santa Barabara to pick up my oldest sister Maureen, it was GREAT to see the Ocean again!  No pictures taken, I need to do that.  It is nice to be surrounded by Californians and the ocean and hills and bunches of fields of brocoli and strawberries, haha, who would have thought.  =]  

I am deffinately also getting in plenty to Missionary time!  Well all the time in the world is not enough, but I am with them as much as my mom will allow.  =]  

It does not feel like Christmas, which is sad.  I am not ready to see this season leave, but in a way I am really looking forward to whatever next semester and year has to offer.  I feel like Chirstmas day tomorrow will be a good day filled with home and family and good feelings and good food.  =]

It has been great to so far to see all my friends and family and ward family.  I have loved everything, driving and know where I am going.  Watching Christmas movies, going into a store where I can expect to see someone I know, getting a million hugs from seeing everyone again.  It is super!

Merry Christmas Eve to all and to all a goodnight!  =]

I'll be home for Christmas....

FREE AT LAST FREE AT LAST!!!!!! I AM HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow, these last two weeks of school were....different. They went by fast, but slow at the same time, but then again too fast! Mostly, they went by fast because I had SO much to do with too little time, especially the last week! My last weekend in rexburg was probably one of my worst- I was freaking out about my bank account, and worried about finals coming up and last minute homework, packing and moving, plus I had to plan my RS lesson. A busy weekend, with little sleep the last two weeks as well.
The very last week of school was stressful, I got little sleep but somehow survived and was not too tired. I studied SO MUCH, especially for my math test, I went all out....I would prefer to not think aobut it to much since I failed it. I am just now waiting to see what my grades were for my classes, I am really only worried about 2 classes, and I am about 70% sure I passed both. I did HW all on monday, and tuesday-wednesday I studed for math, and scinece a little. I was done with two classes on wednesday, and another 2 on thursday. After my last two finals on Thursday I finished 2 last HW projects, then I danced a bit at the relief of being done, then started packing. I ended up getting an hour of sleep that night. Work was a bit hard, but I got through it- came home and slept for 3 more hours. I was awoken by my Canadian friend saying goodbye. A few of my friends left early because I big storm was coming in and they wanted to leave so they did not get stuck.
I only had to go to one class at 3:15 on friday, so my day was spent last minute packing, then moving all my stuff across the slipery parking lot and to the dorms across the way. fun stuff. I hastily cleaned, a little, and tried to get as much done as I could- not enough time. I said an actuall real goodbye to about 3 or 4 people- which I am just now realizing, but I will see most of them again, so it is ok.
After my class I was immediately on my way to Provo with Erik Fillerup. We drove to Provo and stayed with his Grandparents, then left the next morning at 6am, stopping to get some Krispy Kreme Donuts. =] yumm....it was a long drive, but sort of short- got home at 5:00. =] And it was a good thing we left when we did, becuase I have a friend from home who got stuch in Rexburg because of the snow, we just barely missed the storm. PHEW!!!!
Being home is SOOO Nice. My mom and I went to Costco, then got some Chinese food, then I went to the Community Nativity at the Church, I was SOOO excited to go! It just made my week to see all my friends again! I LOVED IT! I was running around and hugging everyone. There was cookies, old friends, and christmas songs. =] It was all good.
Now I am home. I got to see all the lights around my house, and being home is a great feeling. A few changes, not much. It was so exciting driving home, down the Bradely dip. It just all felt so familiar. Being in my house feels a little wierd, but I love it, and I am looking forward to my bed. =]
So, now it is time for us to meet once again. =]

26 degrees

It is a Friday night.  I am watching a movie for my History class about America. After wards I will go back to my dorm and clean it like crazy for white glove check tomorrow, which I am very nervous about.  Partly because I am afraid that I am gonna get charged tons, secondly because I scrubbed a door with the wrong side of a sponge so some paint came of, so it is like off-white with streaks of white.  Yes.  I hope all goes well.

It is very cold here.  And it is going to get colder!!!! But it still has not snowed yet!! =] 

I go home in one week!  I am SOO excited! =]  It is amazing.  =]

This week went by fast, and next week will go by fast as well! I have so much to do!  I have to clean our dorm tonight, and I need t do homework for next week and study for my finals next week so that I can pass my classes and not have to try and survive math or science again.  I also have to prepare another lesson for Relief Society this Sunday, which I love to do, but I just feel a bit overwhelmed.  I also need to start packing since I am changing dorms- and get all my stuff togethor to go home! So much to do and too little time!!! 

So Yes.  That is how I am.

My Thanksgiving break was nice, very relaxing.  I saw the Twilight movie, and liked it.  I saw Temple Square with all the pretty christmas lights, and got some much needed sleep, and I actually even worked on homework, and re-watched The Office, and I got to see some family, and eat lots of food. =]  

This semester has gone by so fast, its crazy.
