6 class days left... but who's counting???

There are only 6 class days left... so only 8 more days until CHRISTMAS BREAK! I know I'm not alone in feeling a HUGE need for this break coming up. This week is notorious for all of professors to assign projects and papers, homework and tests all at the same time... Which for us students = major STRESS! So I'm definitely looking forward to a break... again. Just coming back from Thanksgiving break a week ago was a temptation to want to have a nice long break. I did have an enjoyable Thanksgiving break though... hung out with my family-- who all 19 of us had Thanksgiving dinner at my house and then played games after eating till we had to put on our sweat pants!
I am excited for Christmas break... super excited. This year our break starts after finals on Tuesday December 16th... and second semester classes don't resume until January 13th! Almost an entire month to relax and not have to think about projects, homework, classes, or anything dealing with school. It is definitely a much needed break. I feel as if my Junior year has been the toughest so far with having to think about taking the GRE for graduate school applications... applying to graduate schools, my sister's wedding plans, and my own wedding plans... it's kind of a hectic time... but AMAZING at the same time.
Tomorrow is our Christmas Chapel... which is going to be an awesome time of rockin' out to some rock and roll Christmas Carols =) I'm super excited for tomorrow... chapel that is... not the fact that I have a huge exam and a presentation to give, and a lab to attend to as well... BUT after the day is finished I planned a Cookie Decorating Christmas Party for my girls in UP 200... I'm really excited to eat Christmas cookies, listen to Christmas music, read the Christmas story, dress in our finest and ugliest Christmas sweaters and enjoy each other's company. Christmas is truly an awesome time that brings so many people together to simply enjoy one another.
Well... next blog will be over break... and I'll be sure to fill you in on all the FUN and RELAXING times I'm having! Enjoy the season... and the REASON for it as well!
