Too much of family isn't a good thing....

As lovely as it always is to spend time with my family, I believe I spent a little too much time with them this past week. On Thanksgiving day, we went over to my uncle's house, as we usually do every year. I had a great time seeing family and cousins which I rarely get to see. We chatted, ate and laughed, making it a great day overall. As glad as I was to see my entire family, I knew I wouldn't have to see them all for at least a while. Well to my surprise, I was blindsided when my parents told me we were all getting together again that saturday night! I couldn't believe. I would have to sit through another family get together two days later! Who thought of that idea?? Well as un pleased as I was, I knew I had to suck it up and get it over with. While sitting with my family saturday night, I kept thinking to myself what we could talk about. I mean I just saw this same group of people two days earlier and got asked the usually questions like "How's school going?" and "What are your plans after your done school?" While sitting there with a pretend smile on my face, I couldn't help but to glance at my watch every few minutes. I felt as if time was going extra slow that night. Eventually the time came where people got up and complain about the long day full of errands they had the next day and slowly started saying good night; while the whole time I couldn't be more grateful that this long and tiring night had come to an end. As much as I love my family, I just hope no one gets any idea's for a
post Christmas" get together!

Almost the holidays!

What do you call a cow with no legs? Ground beef!

So I spent most of my weekend at home because I was starting to get sick. I didn't wanna take a chance on going out and getting really sick, so I took the cautious route and stayed in. As this would usually suck, I decided to take this opportunity to catch up on a few thing. I finally got to clean my room, which I had been putting off for a while now and I got to watch some movies. Overall it was a boring, but relaxing weekend. I sometimes realize after writing my blog entries, that I had a pretty boring weekend. Nothing really crazy or exciting occurred for me to write about, so to anyone who reads this in hopes of reading something exciting, I apologize. I will however make it up by adding an addition joke this week! Good compromise huh? What lies at the bottom of the ocean and twitches? A nervous wreck! Ha!

And once again, another blog entry....

I think as the end of the semester is getting closer, I'm tending to become more lazy and unfocused. For example, as I was doing a paper earlier today, I decided to take a break and grab coffee with my friend. While sitting there talking with my friend and just chatting away, I decided to continue my break and grab food with another friend afterwards. While grabbing food, we decided to start drinking a little, which I know wasn't the best decision but oh well. Finally after a few drinks, I came home and decided to continue with my homework. I looked at the clock and realized my little "coffee break" lasted almost 4 hours! As guilty as I felt procrastinating my homework, I just needed a break away from my books in order to keep my sanity. On a brighter note however, I got my cap and gown yesterday. I felt a bit weird cause it really seems like not too long ago I was just starting college and now knowing that it will be over soon just makes me wonder where the time has gone. I guess all good things must come to an end though.

Words I learned this week:

Before you know it....

Why did Beethoven get rid of his chickens? Because they kept saying "Bach, Bach, Bach."

It's already November! I do not know where the time has gone but it has gone by fast. As the end of the semester slowly approaches, I noticed that the dates for my final papers for my classes are creeping up on me. I know that I mostly bitch about my work load and other problems I have throughout my week, but it sometimes helps me keep my sanity being able to vent to someone (or a blog in this case) about stuff. Thankfully though, I can honestly say that I am enjoying my classes this semester, especially my 100W class. I am truly happy that I will be finishing college on such a positive note. People always say that I'll miss school as soon as I'm done and out, but I say it's better to miss it after your done then to dread it while your still in. The only thing which frightens me is the fact that there are no more "I'll do better next semester" excuses to use, since you don't get many second chances in the real world and career's. However, I am definitely ready for a change and excited to go out and do something new.

Words I learned this week:
Lethargy (N)- A lack of energy; sleepiness
