Building a snowman village in the den.

Getting over the shock of 5 inches of snow in Lancaster!

Putting up the Christmas lights.

And baking some cookies!

Merry Christmas Eve!

Living in the desert you don’t expect to get snow. Very cold temperature, with a wind chill factor of -15 degrees, yes, that we get. But snow not so much. So when this morning I woke up to snow it was a little strange. Considering all of my snow stuff is in Virginia and Daddy is in Alaska and Hannah lives up north, having it snow is just ironic!

Rolled into Burbank AHEAD of my arrival time, God bless those tail winds! Grabbed my luggage and headed to the car then made our way to BJ’s Bar and Grill. What a wonderful time, sat and drank of glass of wine while I caught my Mom up on my life. Ate my usual grilled chicken dish and of course had a pizookie! Oh man was that good, it was all chocolate and it was so good, let me tell you!

Yesterday I returned to my old high school to say hello to few teachers that had an impact on my life in high school. And let me tell you, high schoolers are stupid! Not to be mean or anything, but seriously, they all need a good slap in the butt. They walk around like the world is theirs for the taking, and let me tell you kiddies, it soooo isn’t. Some of you will graduate high school and go onto college and be fine, whereas others will be stuck in the AV and never leave. People get out of here! It isn’t the town it was 20 years ago. Now don’t get me wrong, not all of the students act like this, but it was the majority that stuck out to me while walking through the quad.

I was worried if I had ever acted like a high schooler and was pleasantly surprised to here that I was never like a high school student. I always was grown up and was a pleasure to have in class, wow that sounds like something that I would get on my report card, good Lord.

But from yesterday, I saw what I was, or wasn’t depending on who you ask, and saw what my future holds. I left high school, moved on to college and now I am going to graduate and enter the “real world”. So to all of the high schoolers out there, grow up and don’t act so stupid!

Finals week has arrived. Today was Christmas Cheer, the annual event to celebrate the season, est some yummy food, then go back, lock yourself in your room, look over your notes one more time and pray like mad to God that you will remember everything in the morning. That is finals week. Well for me though it is really like a sprint of finals. I leave rather early on Wed so I will be taking my four finals in two days. However I really only count two finals. Meaning one is open notes and the other is graphic design, which really, who gives a test in graphic design? Oh well it is an easy “A” therefore I won’t complain.

The other two finals that I have to take are so not easy. First up to the plate will be Media Law, I am freaking over it! I have looked over my key terms and know the difference between work for hire, prejudicial review, torts, defamation, and copyrights. But still it is a lot more then that, I just want it to be over with. The other test that I consider to be “real” will be my astronomy exam. Harder then you would think. Was so not the class that I though it would turn out to be, however I did P/NC the class and am not too worried, but it isn;t like I can completely bomb the thing and still pass.

But I just have to be confident, and pray that God will allow me to remember everything and not worry so much. I strongly believe in the fact that we can over think things and then our performance suffers due to the fact. So I am just going to take a deep breath and keep in mind that in less then 72 hrs I will chowing down on a pizookie!

God works in mysterious ways. This morning I woke up at 8am. I was suppose to wake up at 6:30am to get a study guide written for a study group this afternoon. I went to bed early last night, and by early I mean 11pm, so that I could get up and type. But last night for the first time in my life I forgot to set my alarm.

Instead of just laying in bed for a minute to gather my thoughts, I jump out of bed and run downstairs. Then I run back up stairs to grab my cell, thinking, oh my people will have called me and I need to have my cell phone. Then I needed some socks, my feet were cold, so I ran back up stairs to get my socks. Sterling said all she saw was this pink blur running up and down the stairs a couple of times.

You are probably there thinking, Sarah, if you are so busy and have so much work to do, then why are you blogging. Because, I may have gotten up late, but I was able to get the study guide typed in half an hour, sent out, washed my face, ate breakfast and just need to get dressed. Therefore I have time to tell you of my story.

I realize that God wanted my body to get some sleep, since actually this is the only morning until I go home that I have time to sleep in, ironic, yes. Since I went to sleep early last night I got a really decent amount of sleep and feel great this morning.

Today also happens to be the last day of classes for the fall semester of my undergraduate degree. Oh no! I will never have a last day of class again in the fall semester. Tear. Not really these aren’t my favorite classes, but still there will be no more!!!  Happy Friday!

So I am really too busy to compose anything that makes sense at this point. But I did just read my sister’s blog and you all need to go a check that out. Let me just say, it makes me want to go home so bad! Also, you might want to have the movie, Christmas Vacation in the back of your mind while reading her latest post. Enjoy!

I have decided that this week will be a week of very little sleep. Everything is due and then there are meetings on top of meetings before the end of the semester. I just keep telling myself that this time next week I will be packing for home!!! I am so excited, all I want is an In n Out shake and burger. It will be the only burger that I have had since the last time I was home. Then there are the milk shakes, oh the milk shakes are worth everything. Although this year after that milk shake there may be a glass of wine or sleep. Right now I would guess I will get home go see the g-rents, come back home take a hot steamy shower then go to bed and sleep until when ever. How I long for the ability to sleep with no alarm clock set, oh it will be great. So help me if the dog wakes me up to go outside, he can just hold his pee or learn to use the toilet like the rest of us!

8 days, I can make it only 8 days.
