over and done with

finals are over and done with! hoorah! this week wasn't too bad, and i loved being able to arrive home earlier. i think all went pretty well. english i honestly thought i didn't do very well in, but she posted the grade, and i did much better than i had hoped to. chemistry i don't know about yet, that is the one i think i did the worst on, but that is ok. history was very easy, as was math. so, 'im finished, and now that i have a three day weekend, i'm wondering what to do with all the extra time. any suggestions?

it is RAINING!!!

i am taking a break from studying. i am sick of chemistry, and i feel like i know almost all of it, but i would love to just take the test and be done with it. well, im going to go take a break doing something else, just thought id say hi!

im getting sick. it sucks. i hate studying for finals. im not sure ive ever taken a final without being sick. every year i get sick right before finals, so i always want to go to bed instead of studying, and it is not cool.

today

so today was kinda fun. my mom and i went to a consignment store that sells 50's-70's style furniture, clothes, nicknacks, and all kinds of stuff. it was so much fun. i got a pair of sunglasses and a shirt that is incredibly soft. imagine a brand new soft Cotton shirt. then imagine that shirt being washed for about 10 years (im guessing). that is how mine feels! oh and it was also fun bc my mom told me not to worry about finals until monday. which im not going to worry about until them, but i did begin a casual study of history and english already. plus, ill only have 2 more to study for, and math i can study for on thursday, since i have it off, and the test is on friday :D fun stuff.

did you know celery has a heart? i didnt. the center is technically called its heart!

ive had 2 random post in a row. kind of fun.

denmark is supposed to be the happiest place on earth...

fruit?

so for those of you who don't know, i often look at people and think of what they look like. in history, we were talking about what fruit certain people look like. amy is a pineapple, andrea is a kiwi, jessica is an apricot, i am a banana, ian r. is either dried fruit (raisin/apricot) or buffalo (yes, i know, buffalo isn't fruit, but he still looks like one), and alex bostic looks like a cantaloupe! that's about all i learned in history!


oh, and mr bras looks like a parrot or an ostrich. with just a little imagination, either one really works :D

heres cozy enjoying the wind
i love how wet bricks look
this looks like a pic out of a movie to me. the wet brick pathway, only in a movie it would be even grayer.
this is a tree at the park danielle and i went to on sunday night
this is the first house i lived in, right down the street from bethany and aaron.

not too much has happened lately, john left yesterday, school starts tom. i went to bethany's friday night? and we rearranged her room- she always is in themood to switch things up when i come over- and i love it of course. when we were done with her room, i looked in aarons room to see his new couch, but everything was kinda awkward in there, so then we rearranged his room, too! it was fun.

it has arrived

it finally started to rain! i am very happy. not only did i go drive around in it, but i sat out on the porch for about 45 minutes. i love the rain!!!

holidays

heres a list of what i did today and CHRISTmas-eve.
yesterday:
picked up my grandma at about 4.
went to CHRISTmas-eve service
came home and ate a true turkey dinner
then we played some musiec: ben played guitar, mary harmonica, nathan mandolin, heather banjo, and i played the piano. it was fun.
then my dad took my grandma home, and we sat around talking. when he got home, we decided to open 1 present each.
today:
my grandma came over at about 8.
we drank coffee for about 45 minutes.
then we all went into the living room, with a fire in the fireplace, and passed out the gifts one by one. i got pirates 2 and 3- which i really wanted.
then we played with our presents or did whatever until 2.
at 2, my family came over and we ate korean ribs and sushi. interesting i knkow, but it is everyone's favorite. they stayed until about 5:30-6 ish. then i got out a super hard puzzle- no picture, just gray pieces. only 48 right solutions and over 250,000 wrong ones. then ben came in and together, we spent probably 2 hours working on it. we finally did it though!!!! i was very happy. i took a picture.
now i am watching pirates 2!
i hope you all had a wonderful CHRISTmas.

happy birthday Jesus!

Merry CHRISTmas!
