don't worry; be happy :)

just finished my last exam, finallllyyy. of all the weeks in the year, the slowest are definitely exam-weeks !

even though i’m done with exams, though, it’ll be eight hours until i’m outta here. my parents are picking me up on the way to my stepmom’s parent’s house to celebrate christmas with them. which will definitely be nice, but oh maaaaan- i just wanna go home already!

aaannnddd, this coming week is going to be like MORE stressful than exam week! not cool. when i finally get HOME, on sunday, i have the evening free- then i’ll be working for the klein’s monday through wednesday, squeezing in a little time to do some chaotic christmas shopping… then thursday is christmas eve!

wait, OMG. thursday IS CHRISTMAS EVE! where did the year go? i swear a month ago i was like getting ready to graduate high school or something, and all of the sudden i’m halfway through my sophomore year. whoaaaaa.

good thing i’m sorta starting to figure out the direction i want to take my life…

anyways, i’m excited for the holidays. they’re going to be tough this year, with my Papa not being here for the first time… but tradition is tradition, and i think we’re doing right by him by celebrating the same way :)

just got off the phone with my dad… reminding me to call sallie mae and pay my student loans. the joys of adulthood. :/ but!.. GOAL FOR WINTER BREAK: i’m really really really going to try and do my best to talk him into giving me the OK to go to rome this summer. what an amaaaazing experience it would be! i want to go for 5 weeks, study abroad. i’d be studying social science and traveling through europe. oh please please please dad, say yes!!! :) the only downfall, naturally, is the $10,000 that he’d have to co-sign for. hah,  nbd. just tack on a couple thousand more dollars to what is sure to be an unbelievable accumulated student loan. for the experience of a lifetime, i don’t even care :) i’ll figure it out later!

gee, well now that i’m all excited about that, i guess i should get BACK TO REALITY and clean the room and start packing.  maybe i’ll even go against my better logic and take a nap. shit- live on the edge.

ha, deuces.
