The Final Crunch!

Hello again! I put a blog up a few hours ago during study break number 1 and since then I decided I didn't like it, so I deleted it and now I'm on study break number 2 writing another! I really do have a lot of work to be doing. I have an exam tomorrow, 3 next week, a semester project due next week, a case due next week, another semester project due the week after that, and then 2 cumulative finals, a final presentation, and an optional cumulative final. (That I hope I wont be taking) And of course if asked how much work I have done for these projects and exams, I would probably have to say next to none. So the last 5 days of classes are going to be fun. (That was dripping with sarcasm.)

Today is dreary! Its all cloudy and cold. It looks like it needs to snow to me. That would be fun, but sadly NC never gets snow. Well OK so we do get it randomly every 10 years, but never this early in the year. If we did get snow this year, that would be fun! I like it every now and then, although I hate to be cold. I could never live up north. Just visiting Michigan last year after a week of it I was ready to get rid of the snow and cold. Snow is pretty for the first day or 2 maybe even 3, but after that its slushy grey stuff and not so fun anymore. The first day though, wow its amazing watching the world turn into a winter wonderland. All the white on the trees and ice hanging from the porches while everything in sight has a white coating over it. It looks so pure and holy to me, with all the dead grass and dirt covered up by the whitest snow. The way I just described that reminds me of Jesus. How through his death and resurrection we are granted salvation, and all our dirt and grim of this world is covered up by His pure and holy blood. Just like the snow covers the earth.

Well kids, I guess its time to hit the books again. After tomorrow it it turkey break! followed by crunch time and Christmas break! Oh my! Where did the semester go?

I agree about show; I love it in small doses. The first winter that Joey and I were dating, it snowed five or six times that winter, and we would always try to make sure we were at one house or the other so we'd get "snowed in" together and one of us would have to stay over. He lived at my parents' house and then we'd go back to his house and I'd stay there. And, of course, there's always snow cream....yum....

Hang in there with the school stuff. Those last couple of weeks are always so overwhelming (and you have a ton to do), but it feels so great to be finished and have a break:).
