I apologize for the lack of entries, and yes I do realize it has been quite some time. Finals were quite busy. One of our professors got pink eye in both eyes the week before finals so our practicals with him got bumped back to the actual finals week, adding a few more tests into the stress cocktail. As soon as we were finished on Thursday I was out of here, and stopped in T.O. to get my hair cut and have dinner with my parents. Eventually I made it up to SLO, grumpy and exhausted. Jeff made fun of my parallel parking skills under complete delirium, and I snapped at him (sorry!), only to come inside and find flowers, brownies, and goodies from Farmer's Market. I felt absolutely awful. Sorry again Jeff! :)
I spent the week sleeping in, being a bum, looking up wedding stuff, watching TV, exploring around the ever-changing SLO, and not reading ANYTHING, with the exception of a few wedding books at Borders. Jeff also had a charity soccer tournament that his team from work participated in, where I went and played cheerleader for the day. It was fun watching him play, but it was a long day in the sun. I came back down to T.O. on Sunday to watch the Super Bowl with my parents and grandparents and filled my stomach (and arteries) with loads of delicious trans fats. Can't beat Super Bowl food! I'm totally bummed that Arizona lost (my Phoenix-born blood was pumping hard), but I guess now we can say that the Chargers lost to the Super Bowl champs. Then I headed back down to school to meet my new roommate, Carol. Yep, a new roommate! My roommate Katy had to move out due to financial issues to a place with cheaper rent, and we now have a first year living here. So far so good, and I think all should be fine. You may be thinking to yourself, well if she's a first year, then does that make you a second year??? And the answer would be YES!!!
That's right...I am officially a second year now, and I could not be happier. I feel like I could pretty much conquer anything now after surviving a year of this madness. We've reached the peak of the mountain and are now on a downhill slide til we graduate. Our schedule thus far is MUCH more forgiving than last term, and we are enjoying the freedom of spare time...by catching up on TV! We have a Bachelor/Biggest Loser watching group together now, and are starting up Game Night on Thursday nights. It is quite exciting to have some free time. This may all go straight out the window once we start hitting tests, but until then, we are fully enjoying being second years. Anyway, time to head off to class. I will post my schedule once it is finalized. They are still making changes to figure out where to put all of us and the full (40 students) first year class. Maybe with all this free time I'll be able to write more...no promises though!
