survived the semester..

I am finally done with the semester. I actually finished a few days ago, but I have been far to busy with packing and what not to post a blog about it all.

Wednesday I turned in my last paper due for this semester, and also my Application for the Graduate Program--it was SUCH a relief to get all of that done, I went home that night and felt out of place because I didn't have to be in front of my computer typing my fingers off trying to meet the deadlines of another paper. It was quite nice, but I still had to start packing, cleaning, and doing household chores that had been neglected for the past few weeks--so I didn't have much time to relax at all.

I'm now in Price, made my way through the canyon yesterday--and I'll be here probably until New Years Day or New Years Eve. I haven't been able to have such a "vacation", usually I have to try to cram seeing my two families in four or five days, so I'm hoping it will be nice to have a longer stretch of time to do so. It sucks that I have to work while I'm here down at the Price office (For one of my jobs--the deaf relay center), but then again it's nice I can still try to earn some money while I'm visiting.

I'm super anxious to get the letter in the mail letting me know whether or not I'm accepted into the Graduate Program. Part of me thinks I have a good chance, and part of me thinks not so much.. It'll be interesting what really happens. I'll find out by the end of January on if I'm accepted or not, so it's not that long of a wait--but it's still a wait!
Anyway, I survived the last few weeks of the semester--amazingly. If it wasn't for Annie, I honestly have no idea how I would have made it through this semester, let alone these past few months.. Thank you Annie. You have NO idea how much you helped keep me sane and motivated, if it wasn't for you I probably wouldn't have finished some of our papers--our laughs and giggles, and yummy nights of cooking really helped keep me focused and optimistic about it all-- thank you so much.

....'til next time. :)

Oh nicole, I just love you!! Thank YOU for laughing, studying, and cooking with me. It was so nice to be able to have a friend to go to during this crazy semester. I'm already lookin' forward to that bagel we're gonna make... with tomato-basil shmear, cheese, and all sorts of yummy veggies.
