#13

I almost forgot about doing this. Luckily, I was putting off studying and thought about it.

I just got back from Memphis. Nt had formal there this weekend and it was super fun. The zoo was way awesome and the formal itself was really nice too. I just like getting dressed up. Formal dresses are probably my favorite thing to shop for.

Leaving Memphis, I found myself wishing I was headed home instead of back to school. I took my computer along this weekend thinking I could study for finals some, but of course that didn't happen. Duh, Abby. So here I am, stressed out about studyguides I haven't even begun to look at and finishing these revised papers. They're killing me. I also haven't even thought about what I'm going to get people for Christmas. I mean, I know finals seem more pressing, but still, I'm worried about having enough time to Christmas shop since I'll be out of town the week before Christmas, which is normally when I do most of my shopping. If I didn't have school, I'd be so less stressed. I think I'll quit and go work offshore. Well, probably not. I'll just be so relieved when everything settles down.

Good luck to all of you on making it through the rest of the semester : )

#12 Still full.

I've probably eaten enough to last me the rest of the year. I doubt my formal dress still fits haha.

This week was wonderful. I love doing nothing. I've discovered that I am insanely good at madgab and puzzles. Lame, I know ha. I don't want to leave home because I know that exams await me. Studying is probably my least favorite activity ever. I'm not excited about packing to go back to school either. I can only look forward to Christmas break. I'm going to Gatlinburg on Dec. 19, so that'll be super fun. I love Christmas shopping but it's so hard to shop for my boyfriend and my dad. They're very particular.

We took our Christmas card picture Tuesday. We put hats on our dog and my sister's dog and got them in the picture. Hilarious, haha. We also made a Christmas cake. I'll probably post pictures of those up here for your entertainment. Good luck to everyone on exams!

#11. So disappointing.

I read all of the twilight books earlier this year, and while they were enjoyable, they weren't my favorite books ever. Even though I wasn't obsessed like so many twilight fans seem to be, I expected the movie to be pretty decent. I went to see it Friday night and could not believe it. It was such a letdown. It was so awkward and the camera-work was like my dad was filming it haha. Such a bummer. Anyways, if you're planning on seeing it, don't let my opinion affect yours. I could be wrong.

I pretty much have nothing to write about. This past week I was just trying to get through and make it to this week. This Tuesday at about 10 a.m. will be awesome. I'll be headed outta here. It's not that I'm tired of being here, it's just that I can't wait to be home. I miss my pets haha.

I also can't wait for formal!!

#10 finite math is killin me.

I haven't given plasma yet. I did, however, give blood. That was very unpleasant, which is making me rethink the whole plasma thing. We'll see though. It may not hurt so much if I know I'm getting paid for it : )

I'm home this weekend and that's nice. I'm catching up on some homework and sleep. Yesterday I went to the regional cheer competition that my highschool squad was in and they won! I was so proud. They have a really good chance of winning state now, and I hope they do because we haven't won since I was in 10th grade. Ah, the glory days.. haha.

So speaking of cheer, I've realized since I've been at college that I hate exercise. Cheer and dance used to be my primary sources of physical activity, so now I just have to exercise for the heck of it. Ugh.

I've been thinking of getting a job next summer. I've never had one so I think it's about time to get to work. My parents always say that my job is to make good grades, but it'd be nice just to be making my own money. I don't know how this will go though. Summer will probably come around and all I'll want to do is tan and chill out.

I finished my first draft for the third essay on schedule, which is uncharacteristic of me. I gave myself a pat on the back for it. I'm super glad to have a lot of time to fix it though. This way I've pretty much already got it written, I just have to do a little rearranging and whatnot.

9 more days until Thanksgiving break! woo!

#9- I feel like my brain is fried.

It feels like the weekends keep getting shorter. I'm not down with that. Friday I had to go home and help my boyfriend do the music for a little kids' lock-in at his church. I figured he would bring his guitar and we'd just sing a couple of praise songs. We got there and the music was on a cd, accomapanied by children's voices on there that we were supposed to sing with. It was all-around pretty awkward, and most of the songs were 7-11 songs. You know, songs that have 7 words that you repeat 11 times. Ugh. So I came back up to MC Saturday morning for the tailgate and preview day.

A couple of my best friends came to preview day so it was fun to get to see them. I can't wait for them to be up here next year. Saturday night I went to go see Role Models. I thought it would be really stupid and it was. But it was cute and funnier than I thought it'd be haha. Seann William Scott was in it and I love him.

Sunday the NT pledges finally got pinned. I don't know what I'll do with all this time on my hands now. Probably give plasma. My friend, Amanda, and I have an appointment to go give plasma today, mainly because they pay you. I'm pretty krunk about it. I just hope the plasma center is relatively legit. The person that answered when I called seemed a little sketchy. Oh well... we'll see.

I feel like I'm just wishing this semester away. Counting down the days until Christmas, Thanksgiving, and even just weekends. I guess that's probably normal, but I think I'll try to start stopping and enjoying each day more.

I got some new vitamins from kroger. I'm excited.

#8 Christmas couldn't come soon enough.

It's so hard remembering to do these : (

So last week I had a horrifying shaving accident in the dorm. Not the first time it's happened though haha. I'll spare you the gory details just in case you're eating or something, but it was pretty gruesome.

I had such a busy weekend even though I went home. I hate it when the weekends go by so quickly. I'm anxiously awaiting Sunday, when the pledge period will be over. I've got to start hitting the books hard.

I've also got to start thinking about my schedule for next semester. I still don't have a clue about what my major will be. That makes figuring out a schedule tough. I also don't know who my advisor is. Gosh. I need to get it together. I'm just so ready for Christmas. I find myself thinking about it a lot haha. I can't wait for it.

I'm having trouble deciding what to write my third essay on. It's hard trying to just pick something out of the blue, but i'm sure that once I decide on something, it will be easier to write than the last two. Anyways, this will be a long and busy week, so I hope everyone else's goes well!

#7

So all of my homework, studying, rush stuff, etc. is starting to catch up with me. I don't remember the last time I felt completely rested. I'm sure that's the same story for every student here, though. I'm counting down the days until Christmas break. It'll be glorious.

Anyways, this recent weather has been great. It's my favorite kind. All of my winter clothes are at home though : ( I'll have to get them next weekend.

Even though it seems like Christmas is so far away, the semester really is going by so quickly. Pretty soon we'll be signing up for classes for next semester. That's definitely something I need to think about. I haven't declared my major yet so there aren't really a whole lot of specific classes I should sign up for. I am thinking about going into marketing, though. It sounds like fun. But who knows, it could be something totally different tomorrow. I don't feel rushed, which is good, because I don't want to decide on a major just for the sake of having one and then find out my senior year that I really don't like it. So I'll just let it come to me.

I'd advise everyone to be getting as much rest as possible. Gotta keep those immune systems strong because if you guys are like me, you can't afford to get sick and miss a few days of class. Make-up work is killer. Hope everyone has a super week : )
