So I haven't written anything in a while so I thought I might as well update my blog! Thanksgiving break was much-needed and very relaxing. I actually got to go home a little early because some of my classes were canceled, which was awesome. I hadn't seen a couple of my friends since summer so it was really good to see them and catch up. We always have Thanksgiving dinner at my house and this year was an especially big group (about twenty-five people) so that was really fun, too! It's hard to believe that there are only two weeks after Thanksgiving break until we are back home for Christmas! I actually started some Christmas shopping today...on the fourth floor of DeNaples. They had a cute Christmas bazaar set up so I ended up buying a few gifts for family and friends (and myself).
Right now is dead week, which is the week right before exams. We aren't supposed to have any major tests or assignments this week but I managed to have a chemistry test Monday and a biology practical tomorrow. Studying for Chemistry on Sunday night was a little overwhelming. I really don't know why I even bring my books home because I never seem to use any of them. I did manage to pull off a B on that test though so that was good! It's been crazy studying for this practical, too. There is so much stuff to know but at least I've been able to manage my time better with this one.
Last night, I went to dinner at Aroma Cafe across the street with a few girls from my hall before I headed over to the Advent prayer service at the chapel. My panini was delicious as always and the prayer service was really nice. I was a little bit rushed to get to dance practice on time but it turned out fine. After dance, I met up with a few friends for a late-night study session for the practical. The night was a little on the busy side for me!
I'm about to go over to the open lab before grabbing dinner but I'll make sure I post something again soon!
Happy Holidays! :)
