I got the opportunity to lead a campus-wide service project to collect warm clothes for local shelters in our county. It was an awesome experience but definitely more work than I bargained for. It was a relief when it was over but it was well worth it! We collected a ton of clothing and were able to deliver it all before we left for Christmas break!
My classes all went well and I ended up with straight A's after many all-nighters and non-stop work for the second half of the semester. I had some really awesome professors and a few not so great ones, but I was pretty lucky overall. It was all very stressful but I learned more this past semester than I did in all of high school.
When I wasn't studying, I had some fun climbing up a waterfall with my friend from Kumon who came to visit, taking a trip to nearby Blowing Rock with Kelly and Hayley, and having many many movie nights with David and my roommate, Ashley. We decided to be kids again one night and build a fort in our room and watch Polar Express in 3-D. It was a lot of fun--we made a mess beforehand and made cookies and cakes and just had a good time to celebrate the end of classes. I have a new suite mate as of a few weeks before the end of the semester and she is really awesome! We get along really well and it's been a lot of fun getting to know her.
David took great care of me during the second half of the semester when I was stressed and lacking enough time in the day. We have been together now for 14 months. It has been great having him there with me even though it seems like the only things we do when we're together are eating and homework!
Christmas break is almost over. It was great to see everyone at home and spend lots of time with the family but I am excited to go back too. Boone is becoming home so it's kind of weird now being here in Weddington. My mom and I have gotten to spend a lot of time together which has been awesome. I'll be going back in time for another snow it seems! I am liking the cold weather there a lot more than I thought I would but I'll being going back to much colder temperatures than when I left. I guess I'll try to write once a week for as long as I can this next semester...we'll see how it goes!
