MARJORIE'S HERE!!

My sister came to visit, and I'm showing her how these things work! Have a great holiday season all!

I'M DONE!!!

I'm done for the semester! It feels soo good! I'm so happy! And my GPA is going to be OK this semester! If you can't tell, I'm happy!

I have so many plans for the break. Make my scrapbook from Europe, spend a couple of days in St. Louis, a couple in Chicago, shop, eat, and relax. I also have to finish applying to graduate school. They're due by the first of Feb. So, I have some time to finish them. I'lll get them done in the next week or so, but the letters of recommedation may be the time consuming thing. Profs are sometimes "busy".

Today, I've been drinking already with chem people. But I'm sober now so I thought I'd update. Tomorrow, I'm planning on packing, cleaning, and my sister is coming up to see me! I'm excited about that! I think that's about all, I'll talk to you all later! I hope to see you all over break! Love lots!

What's been happening the last two weeks

So, I should start by mentioning that I check all of your blogs regularly, but do not find the time to update mine. I think your lives are much more interesting anyway...all I ever do is study.

Anyway, a quick update. I finished my biochem paper and haven't gotten it back yet. I hope I did well, I'll be dissaspointed if I didn't. I didn't fail my last biochem test...I remembered to do the last 2 pages. I acutally did well. I was excited. I haven't had a whole heck of a lot to do for that class before finals. Inorganic chemistry is as ridiculus as ever. We got a take home test on Wed and I haven't started it and I'm not that motivated to do so. The class really frustrates me. It has to be done before Friday, so the goal is Thursday. We'll see how motivated I get.

Thanksgiving was great. I went home for 5.5 days and I got to hang out with my family. I ate two turkey dinners. All of my cousins came to my mom's Thanksgiving and I bought a pinata for the kids. It was really cute. I took pictures as eveyone took swings and I saw so many genuine smiles. And of course, the candy and party poppers were a big hit. I went shopping with my mom for my Christmas present and although we didn't buy anything, we got a good idea of what to buy. I've asked for an MP3 player and I'll be excited if I actually get one! Other than that, it was a good opportunity to catch up on sleep and relax. I can't wait for Winter break...I get to put my scrapbook together from Paris and London, shop, be a bum, and read a fun book!

To make all of you proud, I've had a drink the past 6 nights. I got tipsy a couple of those nights, drunk on a couple and shitfaced on Friday night. It was banquet and it was fun. I was voted best forward and my friend Stephanie was voted best back. It was exciting and unexpected for the both of us. Then I went to hangout with some chem people and continued to get really drunk. Fun but expensive.

This past week has been very carefree. This next week though will be more stressful. Today, I decided to ignore homework and went to the Chiefs game instead. It was an awsome game...we beat Denver and the weather was not too bad. I sat with a friend and we were 6 rows up from the field. At times, the view was awsome. At others, I couldn't see because I'm short. I decided that I like my dad's seats better. I went to see him at the game and he was very excited and shocked. I didn't tell him that I was going to come to the game. It was fun. But that means that I've done ABSOLUTELY NO homework today. I did watch Sunday night TV when I got home (I heart Grey's Anatomy) and I did a little GRE studying but I just don't care at this point. Speaking of the GRE, I'm taking it tomorrow and I hope I don't fail it horribly. That sucker was expensive! I'd like to get into graduate school...so hopefully its not too bad.

So, now I'm going to go to bed and hopefully get a lot done this week. Final week, I have one final on Friday, one on Tuesday (biochemistry) and one on Thursday (inorganic), plus a big paper for lab due on Wed. And then I'm practically done! Next semester is going to be a breeze hopefully and I'll get to have some fun! Good luck everyone on finals if you have to take them, and if you're working, have a good December and happy holidays all! I hope to hear from you (or I'll just call you) as the holidays approach. If you're traveling any distance over 30 miles, drive safely!
