It's Official...

Winter is here. I have a pretty high tolerance for cold (I used to wear shorts and hoodies all winter), but I'm not really feelin this. I am excited to be able to play in the snow though once it really starts to fall. Plus winter means its almost time for winter break!!!

Thanksgiving just passed. It was dope. It was nice to eat, relax and finally watch some tv. I think i watched more tv over Thanksgiving weekend than I did all semester. Part of that is because the cable doesn't work in my room tho. Anyway, winter break means it's time for finals and final projects too.

I have two 10-12 page papers, a 3-5 page paper, a project and 3 finals.....typical end of the semester. Its not too bad tho. I just keep looking towards the 18th, when I'm done with my last 2 finals and can go home and chill!!!!! Continuing with getting my life together has been pretty good too. I'm still on track and I declared my major and my minor this week. I am now offcially a Communication Studies major with a minor in Art! It feels good to have that taken care of so now I can focus on the classes I need to take and want to take. I'm finally taking the steps I need to reach some of my goals.

Now I have to just find a way to make money over winter break. I'll keep working my weekend job over break, but it'd be nice to get a paycheck or 2. I keep my change every semester and cash it in after finals so that's about $50 I can look forward to haha.

Anyway back to studying! I'll keep you updated on how everything's coming!

Peace-
