There was light at the end of the tunnel after all...

...All of my books and just a taste of my weekly tasks...



This Fall semester has been the most difficult semester of my college career. 5 classes and working 3 days a week was a lot harder than I thought it would be. The to do lists were insane. There were weeks where I would not only complete writing assignments and discussion board posts, but I would also read up to 15 chapters from my 8 text books. Although it was difficult it was a great learning experience for me. I learned how to manage my time wisely and I really learned a lot. I worked really hard to read everything that was assigned so that I could really expand my knowledge, not just cross the class off of my list. I really took a lot of useful information from this semester. I am excited for Spring because I am taking my last Sociology class and also starting my minor - Health Science. I can't believe I am so close to the end. Just two semesters and a summer class and I will be a college grad.
Oh and did I mention that I really enjoy getting good grades? I am one of those annoying people who is unhappy when I get a B. So with 5 classes I figured that I would not get all A's and I came to grips with the fact that there would be some B's on my report card this semester. I had to mentally prep myself to not get upset if I got a couple B's (stupid... I know). But to my utter surprise I made the impossible, possible. . . I got straight A's! It was rough and I seriously do NOT know how I did it. I am grateful for Tyler for being supportive even when his wife was in the world of sociology for a few months straight. I am grateful for answers to prayers as there were an abundance sent up. I just know that I was blessed to achieve what I did. Thanks to everyone for supporting me, encouraging me and putting up with me.

As a treat to myself I went here...


On Christmas Eve I got a massage and a facial. It was amazing. I got to sit in the spa, put cucumber slices on my face and finally relax after months of worrying about school. It was a great way to start the weekend. I highly recommend it.
