Christmastime is here...

So this semester is pretty much over for me.
I have two finals tomorrow, but that's all. I just have to stay till Friday because I'm an RA.
I found out this morning I made an A in yoga and a B in Health Assessment, and it looks like another B in Foundations of nursing.
That's kind of freakin awesome.
Especially since I'm expecting 2 more A's in my psychology classes.

Now, really, I'm just ready to enjoy this Christmas time. Pageant is going on at my church and I just miss not being there so much. I loved pageant. It was always one of the highlights of my year. And now I'll only be there for a couple days of it.

I think everyone here is really trying to figure out how to celebrate Christmas away from home and everything we're used to. UMHB is all lit up, and just gorgeous. The school threw us a Christmas party on Thursday, complete with Santa, cookies, carolers, and games. Then Friday night my friend Aubrey had a Christmas party I went to, filled with sweets. Saturday night some carolers came by the dorms at 1 AM, complete with a guitar and a tambourine. And Sunday Jenna had a party where we all had to wear tacky Christmas sweaters and watch Elf. Tuesday we had a gingerbread making contest in our dorm. It's fun and cold and pretty outside, Texas has always been great at decorating. But I just can't wait to get back to my house. I feel like it won't be Christmas until then. And I know that starting tomorrow everyone will start heading back home, and I'll be stuck here till Friday. At least our school gets out before every other school in the state.

I know I'm never going to want this break to end, so maybe it's a good thing it hasn't started yet. Giving myself as much time as possible. Next semester is going to be hard. I'm refusing to let it completely take over my life. I want to still be able to do my job, and pass the classes, and sleep, and hang out with friends. I just have to find a way to make all those things balance. Being as a quarter of the J1 class failed this semester... it might be harder than I thought.
It's a good thing we're "more than conquerors" in everything we do right?

Yep. Shoulda done that.

Today I had my simulation.
It's the Health Assessment final.
I had no time to study since my last huge test was Monday, I had class and duty yesterday, and I'm sick.
Even if I failed, it shouldn't have affected my grade too much.
However, I am a little nervous....

I probably should have studied.

That's all I'm gonna say about that.
