Catching up...

Finals Week
Well I finished the end of the semester very well. I think finals week was seriously my favorite week of the semester! The girls and I kicked it off with a game of marco polo in the Hope dorm =D. Later that night the cafeteria was opened from 10-12 with breakfast foods and a karaoke party... amazing! =D I had a great time. Besides all that great fun (and only having to go to class for the finals) Mary and I had dance parties in our room every night.
Now all of that may make it sound like I left no time for studying or doing well on my finals, but I just checked my grades and it's quite the opposite - all A's and B's! I'm quite proud of that.
Christmas Break
Break has been so amazing! I've been able to spend almost all my time with Arthur and my family, and I've really been able to reconnect with some of my good girlfriends... and guyfriends! Going away was so wonderful and perfect for some of my friendships... it really saved some of them. It was also good to find out who my real friends are... who I missed, who missed me, who I can count on being there for me when I come home. Good things to find out... =D I also got to spend lots of time with the Finks - we've had some great times this break! Playing Uno, going shopping, and going out to eat with my family... it's been great - I sure love that family!
Church & Youth Group
While I've been home I've been able to go back to youth group for a few weeks =) I got my name (and all the old student leaders names) back on the BOB boxes, and I enjoyed catching up with all the girls last Saturday night when they came over for a sleepover. The youth group kids were some of the people I missed the MOST while being away, and I'm so happy they all love me still and are happy to see me return. =) I could never not go back... I love them all so much!
Returning to Biola
Heather my mom and I leave next Monday to begin our road trip down to Southern California =) I'll be sad to leave my dear ones, and it's ridiculous to think that Shanna comes home in less than a month after I leave and yet I won't see her for another four... (BTW that makes 10 months that I will not have seen my best friend... yeah, that kinda SUCKS and I think it should never happen AGAIN!!!) but part of me is excited to get back to school and see all my college friends again =D. Mary and I are hoping to get to a Joe Brooks concert next week... I sure hope we can get tickets! Anyways, I'm very excited about this time of my life so far... there's so much left to say, but I won't, haha =P
Till next time!
