traditions

To all of my friends who have moved on to bigger and better things:
Its the first Thursday night of the semester and I'm going to...DRINKIN' W/LINCOLN! In memory of all of the good times we had last semester! I miss all of you and hope you're having fun!

PS. Halleh, I went to pint night last night too with the chem people. We had a blast, and I thought of you! :)

Winter break

I had a successful end of the semester. My little sister came up the last Friday of finals and we hung out and did a whole lot of nothing. It was great. The roomies cracked us up. Very fun end of the semester. I got sick the minute I got home and spent most of the rest of the week on the couch. I did get my Christmas shopping done and had a pretty good time doing it.

Christmas eve we had Christmas at for my mom's side of the family. It was very nice excepy my grandpa couldn't come because he was sick. But other than that it was fun. We did Santa in the morning with my mom and then went and did Santa with my dad on Christmas morning. My dad went a little crazy with gifts this year. I almost felt guilty because he got us so much. We then went to his side of the family's party. That was a little difficult because my aunt always put the spread on and she passed away last July. So it was a little emotional. But it was nice and we had a lot of food and lots of good times.

The rest of the week between Christmas and New Year's was spent being lazy. I watched a lot of TV, read a couple of books, shopped, etc. We did do a Chanukkah dinner with my Grandma and grandpa. It was a good night.

Cariss came to PH the Friday before New Year's. We hung out, played a lot of cards and had a good time. On new year's eve, I was pretty low key. We drank beer with my grandpa at dinner (he likes someone to drink with and my grandma doesn't drink beer...my grandpa was very happy) and we went to the plaza to see the lights and then we came back to my house, watched the ball drop and played cards. It was fun. Sunday we went to the Chiefs game and tailgated. It was awsome! And the game was too! It was Dick Vermeil's last game and we didn't get into the play offs because Pittsburg won, but it was an awsome game! The weather was so nice. I only wore a long sleeeved t-shirt and a t-shirt and I was warm most of the game. Not typical for a Jan. 1 game. Very nice though, and we won...we actually smashed the Bengals. It was a good farewell to Dick and a nice way to end the season.

I came back to Kville for a couple of days so I could apply to grad school. I could do it at home, but there are so many distractions. So I came back up here and I've been pretty lazy up here too. But it'll get done and I have to be back in PH for the weekend. So, I'd better get going on that stuff. Have a nice break to those of you that have breaks and travel safely. I miss you all but I hope you had a nice holiday!
