..or so Monica in Friends would say.
But it's almost true. The holidays are here and then my best friend goes away to Norway for 6 months. That's countless hours of ridiculousness gone from my life next semester. So sad. Not sure what I'll do with my time..
:(((

Breathe
I can exhale now. I finally got my winter semester money back that my loan was not supposed to pay the university quite yet. As of a result of that I had been penny pinching the last month and a half or so, and paying rent with my own money. But now it's all good and I can actually afford to buy people xmas presents and also celebrate the end of the semester with some drinks! Whoop! Seeing that cheque made me feel so much better!
Now hurray for sleep in tomorrow and only one class. Then Wednesday one class of review and one of watching people perform their dances. Studying the rest of the hours of the days. Then wings & drinks Wednesday for dinner, event staff xmas party Thursday (free supper and some drinks, then toonie bar!) then soccer at 10. Friday is a bday party dinner, then a little xmas party celebration Saturday evening! Then hitting the books hard!
Looking forward to it :)

10 Pin Dilemma
I went into this year saying that I'm going in every tournament so I can get more "big game" experience. There was one yesterday, but I missed it because I was in Calgary; though I probably would have skipped it either way - $50 and my finger is still sort of healing. There's another next weekend, both days, and I really want to do it.
But. I have a CT scan scheduled for Sunday morning, same time as the tourney. I don't really want to push that back because it might end up being a long wait. The tourney is also $75.. a bit steep, though there's a chance of winning $200, and not to forget I would gain valuable experience.
So I'm a bit on the fence, but definitely leaning towards not doing it. I just need to keep things simple, and not worry about $$, though it's payday tomorrow and I just realized I'm getting a good sized cheque so I don't need to worry that much anymore. But also, I need to save up $1000+ for CNC's since I didn't come top 2 in that tourney this year (where they give you the $1000 for CNC's).
So really, I think it would be stupid and a tiny irresponsible if I chose to go in the tourney. I also work the Sunday.. haha wow, I guess there are too many good reasons to not do it. I guess that makes the decision a lot easier. Though I'm not happy about it :p
Countdown time yet..?!?!

8 Days
That's right, only 8 days left of school. THANK GOD. I don't know how long I can hang on. I had a MUCH needed time back at home this weekend, I was able to relax and forget about the rest of the world, and just spend some quality time with my mom, which I feel I haven't had or appreciated in a very long time.
After being so sick the last week and the week before I had done nothing, just relaxing after exams and assignments were finally done, I really need to catch up on notes. I have no idea whatsoever what's been happening in class and today is the day I had planned on starting to study for finals. It's not going to happen, but I hope to plan out what I want to do each day until my last exam. I also have to factor in work, so it's imperative that I do this right away and follow it as closely as possible. I have to make sure this time to make time for relaxing though. For midterms I would study for 6 hours straight every day. Probably not the best way to go about it. But factoring in work will help with that and I should try to hit the gym every other day.
I neeeeed to stay stress free the next few weeks. I hadn't realized how stressed/unhappy I had become before going back home. Maybe that's why I was having some pretty major health issues. It's tough to de-stress though when you don't even realize that you ARE stressed.. So I need to avoid things that could be stressing me, and get out of the house more.
Here's hoping the next 3 and a half weeks fly by (with little harm) so I can get back home and celebrate the holidays.
Good luck to everyone winding down their studies!

Winter Wonderland
I actually love the snow. I'm not a fan of what develops because of it, ie. icy roads which lead to bad traffic and bad slips, and other annoyances, but that white stuff makes me happy.
We had our first snow fall this weekend, not much but enough, and I was a bit indifferent. But walking home from work late at night, in a field full of the fluffy stuff seemed to cheer me up after a bad night of work. The next night, I was in a fabulous mood once I got through the field, I even had a bounce in my step. Yeah, I know.. :p
Last night, as I had just that day put xmas music on my computer, I was walking through the field once again, listening to those jingling bells and it just fit. There's just something so serene about the chilled, moonlight filled air, and kicking through the snow in my wool boots. It probably helps that it hasn't been overly cold though, the coldest it's been was -9 this morning.
I really enjoy winter so I wish I lived ABOVE ground so I could see all its majesty.. Which would actually put me in a christmassy mood, which everyone around here is already into. Darn you Starbucks and your commercialization of Christmas!!!
Speaking of Christmas, due to poor management of money (AGAIN-somehow-darn Starbucks again!), I'm not sure how I will last and buy presents until I get my next loan payment.. :((( (All money coming in is going towards rent..)
