So hey, all!

I TOOK MY LAST EXAM TODAY!

I totally lucked out enough to have my final final be so early (the last day, altogether, for exams is Friday, 19 December)--I was even done by eleven AM!

Being done so early, I had time to go sell back some of my books. Had I (and not the Army) paid for them, I would have been annoyed at getting a mere $20.75 for four political books (which probably totaled $120, at the least).

I then went and worked out, and after that I had lunch with someone new (more on that later...I don't want to say anything too concrete until things are cemented down...no pun intended...). I really must say, while I am on the subject of lunch, that I really enjoy the soup in Ray Hall--especially as the weather gets colder. There are different flavors everyday (there's always two choices, so nine times out of ten I can find one I like), they're always warm and "well-stocked" (as my grandfather would say), and they're a quick and delicious choice. If you come visit PC/attend, I highly recommend the soup.

In any case, I am writing to you from home and this will, more than likely, be the last post for a while. When random thoughts strike me, I'll probably hop on and write more. At Christmas, I'll be seeing my cousin, too, who's applying to college this year and anything I say to her will probably be repeated to all of you!

Please feel free to leave any questions/comments because I check my e-mail compulsively and you'll get a pretty quick response!
