Towards the end of Decemeber

Christmas was pretty fun; we got up early and open presents, but everyone was sick so there was no Christmas Dinner. I went and saw Cody and his family, hung out with his ADORABLE 4 year old niece Pheobe, who has become one of my favorite munchkins.

Thursday, I went to Anchorage with Alisha, her sister and mom. We went shopping, which was loads of fun, and had a blast (even thought the Harvest Bread place was closed, and we didn't make it to the Celtic Store).

Yesterday was my nineteenth birthday, and Alisha took me to Johann's in Eagle River for lunch, and then Cody took me to see "The Golden Compass" in Anchorage. I've been listening to "The Compass" on audiobook, so I knew what should have been in the movie and wasn't. It was pretty good as a movie, although, if you didn't know the story, you might be missing some things, and if you know the story, you might be a little upset at how some things were rushed, skipped over, rewritten, and unexplained.

Monday is the BIG NEW YEARS PARTY! Which will be exciting. I'm bringing my famous salsa, which should shut everyone up for an hour or so. It promises to be great fun :D

So I've been home only since Tuesday and I've already gotten really really sick. Which had really bad timing, because yesterday I was supposed to go to Anchorage and get clothes, and then go to the VHo to meet up with everyone, and hottub at Alishab's.

Instead, I spent all day sleeping, puking, coughing, and being in general discomfort. I can't see anyone, because I'm afraid of passing whatever hell-disease I have off to them, which one, wouldn't be polite, and two would ruin their vacation.

Hopefully I'll be healthy again for my birthday.

Homeward Bound

So... my physics test pretty much kicked my ass. I feel kinda stupid, but I think I did okay, I worked my butt off studying. Anthropology was easy - it's easy to come up with answers for those tests. WOot.

Tomorrow (in eight hours) I have my Justice final ,which should be pretty easy (I think) and I feel pretty confident about passing. Then I head home.

I cut my hair the other day, nothing fancy, I think it looks okay. Blah.

Bed time!

It's Christmas time...

I get to come home Tuesday after all! So excited! I finished my English class, now all I have to do is study for my last three exams and I'm set! Woo hoo!

Merry Christmas!

Home for the Holidays

Bummed. Found out that I have a final on Wednesday, so I can't go home on Tuesday like I thought I could. Originally, Cody and I thought we had our Anthropology exam on Monday after my Physics exam, but it turns out the exam schedule is weird. So unless we can get our professor to let us take it early, we can't leave until late Wednesday/early Thursday (if the weather is bad). Which is disheartening, I've been looking forward to coming home ASAP, and all I have are these three exams on three different days; Cody only has two, one on Monday and now one on Wednesday. Hopefully Prof. Holzlehner will let us take it early. :S

Other than that I don't have much to report. If anyone cares, I have no real birthday plans at this point, but hopefully that will change a little. Maybe I'll just have some people over or something. Movie. Cake. Whatever.

Meh.

December !

AH!

The Thanksgiving break was really needed. Four days in the valley helped cure some of my melancholy. But coming back to school makes me want to go back home more. I miss my friends, and family and the animals. Here I just have Juanito for comfort when everyone is busy, and he's not much for cuddling. Jill and Sean and Cody are tons of fun tho, but I still miss everyone from the old days.

Right now I'm focusing on getting my work done before finals and studying my butt off so I won't be too stressed, won't have too much to do before I head for home. I'll be nineteen this month, and I DO have plans for my birthday, just no one knows what they are yet. woo.

I'll try to post more often!
