I woke up this morning (technically now yesterday morning since it's past midnight on the 2nd, but who's being picky?) and it was December. Still trying to figure out just how that one happened...
What news since Thanksgiving? Well, I came back to KC that Saturday to work the Saturday and Sunday evening shifts, and came down with a nasty cold in the middle of working on Sunday. Bad enough that I emailed all my professors that I would not be attending classes on Monday. Which has still put me in a funk ever since...trying to make up a sick day so close to the end of the semester is difficult...
Tuesday I felt a bit better, which was good because it was a day to celebrate for me...2 years ago, we started our courtship on that day! Cue the "oooohs" and "aaaaaws". I had the chance to help him become a bit more cultured...we watched The Polar Express, White Christmas, and The Nativity Story, none of which he had seen before. Perfect.
And now it is the weekend, and I just got off of work a bit ago and am settling in for the night. This week will be interesting. I have two tests and a term paper due on Wednesday, and a lab final on Thursday. And then I turn around and there'll be finals. Yeah, it's kind of obnoxious that I have my last tests right before the finals for those classes. However, if it's one more opportunity to get a couple good grades in before finals, I suppose it has its perks. Either way, through Thursday I will probably be sorely lacking in some much needed sleep. Also after Wednesday I will officially pass on my position of president of Students for Life to the next person. Which is bittersweet, though more sweet than bitter. I've appreciated my time in the position, but for several reasons am glad to pass it along. As much as I believe in what I'm a part of, I recognize that I'm not a super charismatic personality. Meaning I really don't draw people in. Someone with more sparkle will be able to do more with a president position. Also...college students are funny. They really don't return communication of any kind in any suitable length of time. Naturally, much unnecessary stress ensues. Yes, I will be happy to pass this on to someone who is not quite so type A as myself.
Welp, that's life in a nutshell. Happy beginnings to your Advent!
