I think I snirted all my brains out for finals week. Doesn’t that non-sense word make you think of ancient Egyptian embalmers pulling brain’s out threw noses? Well, that’s what I just thought of. So, I’m a lil more creative than most. Anyways, studying really comes as a last minute chore to me. Lately, I’ve felt like watching the food network in my oversized bean-bag chair while gorging on butter toffee popcorn than getting off my butt to study artists who decide to shoot themselves in the arm.


I’m sure I don’t have to study as much as most though. I spend most my time drawing whatever I feel like. My friends are jealous since they’d rather do that then memorize equations. But I did my share of hitting the books. I took 3 hours to memorize tons of Japanese grammar and vocabulary resulting in my brain hurting. You know, it’s not quite a headache because you feel like your brain has retained to much information than water or something. But it paid off since the final was easy and I hope I can be all smug with the highest grade in the class.

And now everything is starting to get festive for the holidays (since saying Christmas is not politically correct anymore). Our hall had our holiday care-package party a few nights ago. I was excited because I turned the corner to see hundreds of gifts wrapped up for everyone. What I didn’t know is that our parents got mail saying to make a care/gift package to send to us on that night. As my roommate unwraps hers, I notice it’s from her mother. Mine wasn’t. Not fair. Does mommy not like me anymore? Ha-ha. The next day I called her and asked about it. She forgot to send things but still loves me. And my roommate’s mom is more perfect than mine. (Insert pouty face here) I’m just kidding mom if you are reading this. I’m happy with my loads of mint hot chocolate to keep me warm.

College does seem to go by fast, as Zach mentioned. But I don’t feel like I’m gonna miss anything if I close my eyes for minute. I’m enjoying being on my own, learning new things and making some close friends. I would rather have the pace go by fast than slow because then it’s just a step closer to starting a new chapter in my life. Being able to live independently, having a career that I’ll love and free time without homework, appeals to me immensely. So, college is like the last small obstacle left till I reach the top of the stairs.

To finish things of for the quarter, I hope I’ve done well in my all my classes. I want to see A’s for the start of my college career because I don’t want to get an earful from my parents when I go home. Oh boy, another trip on the wonderful train. I’m going to have to pack up all my artwork and my goldfish in a water bottle again. Hope he doesn’t freak out and start swimming upside down.
