’tis the season

Happy Thursday night!

I apologize for being MIA last Thursday. It was completely unintentional… I had my post all written out and was in the middle of updating my iTunes when my computer shut down completely. On the eve of finals week, I had to send my laptop, class notes and all, to IT for the weekend. Horrible timing, right? Thank goodness everything was saved, and I finished my four finals with no ill results. In fact, my last final just ended two hours ago!

The highlight of this past weekend, though, was the Winter Formal my school hosted. I went with my roommates and a group of girls from my dorm and danced the night away (well, until 10:30 at least, and then I quickly became exhausted. I’m getting too old too fast!). I love that my college has events in the middle of the most stressful part of the semester.

Other good news… I applied and got accepted for an internship up the road from campus. I’ve never worked with anyone but kids under the age of 10 before, so this is very exciting! I’m so ready to get “real world” experience before I move back home this spring and have to look for a serious job. The internship just entails writing articles for a small internet company, so that’s not too daunting at this point—hopefully it goes as well as I think it will!

Sarah – Congrats on getting such high grades! That’s awesome news. I actually celebrate Hanukkah (not very strictly, but when I go home my church has a few services and such), and have been for about the past ten years or so. You should try it… it’s fun to light the menorah each night, play dreidel, etc.

Brandi – I’m so sorry to hear your cat is sick! That’s never fun. I hope he recovers soon!

Samantha – I like your Christmas traditions—I’m inspired to go and try a new cuisine for the holidays instead of having a repeat Thanksgiving.

Question Monday – Christmas lists have always been hard for me. I’ve tried to keep an ongoing list of things I want throughout the year, but it either changes or gets lost by the time December rolls around. This year, as with any other, I’d be perfectly happy with new music and new books to keep me occupied for my winter break.

Even better than that, my family has decided to splurge and buy something we all really want: the puppy we saw over Thanksgiving break! My mom called and said they had named her Madeline, from the kids’ books and video series. The only photos I have of her are either on my cell phone or the breeder’s website, so I’ll just link you to it: tiacotons.com (she’s the last one on the page, the only puppy not entirely white). She’s a small dog, which is a change from the golden retriever my family used to have, but it’s a more manageable size for my parents, which is good. I can’t wait! We’re visiting her on Sunday and she’s coming home for good in about nine days.

I’m in the middle of packing for home right now, so I should get going. I hope you all are having wonderful, relaxing, SCHOOL-FREE weeks! :]

Enjoy the holidays,
Ashley
