My Weekend!






I had a great weekend with my sweet family and my dear friend Susan (previously mentioned on this blog). Here are a few pictures of me and my older sister, Rebecca and youngest brother, Robert decorating a gingerbread house. isn't he the cutest thing? And yes, I have a 24 year old sister and a 5 year old brother. Same parents. :)

I'M DONE!!!

Hey y'all! I'm done! WAaa-hooo!! I finally finished my last final at 10:30 yesterday morning. It feels soo good to be through but I'll still be a little nervous until I get my grades back.

More news:
I am very sick. Its yucky to be sick but at least I don't have any tests to worry about. My throat is really hurting and I'm very tired. Hopefully I'll get better quickly soo...

I can see my new little niece!!! Yes! Heather had her baby! Yippie! Annabelle Grace was born very early on Dec. 9 and she weighed 7lbs. 12oz. and is 20 in. long. I really want to go see her but I won't if I still have a sore throat, I'll have to wait until after Christmas to meet her. I'll post a picture of the little darling soon. She is sooo beautiful!

Merry Christmas!

The finals week that would never end!

I live in North Texas so whenever it gets really cold and freezes everyone freaks out and shuts everything down. UTA shut down at 1:30 today (Wed) and won't open back up until noon on Thursday. Which is great except I had a final scheduled for 8am Thursday. So that final is going to be moved to Tuesday of next week. And it stinks because I am so ready to be done! Now my last week has to drag on until next Tuesday. Ah well, maybe I'll do a little more review...Yeah right! I'm going down to Magnolia and Houston this weekend to visit my family and some friends. I'll take my binder but I doubt I'll get anything done.
My other three finals went okay. I got an A in Latin but I don't know about Logic or Government. I'm pretty sure I did quite badly on the Logic final but we'll see. Oh well, I'm just ready to be done!

Thanksgiving!!

Todd is on the left and wouldn't smile but Seth did so I posted this anyway.

Daddy's little fatty

Somebody loves her peanuts!!






Here's some updated pictures of Libby. Yes, she eats a lot, she's very healthy. :)

Crunch time

Yes, it is final week so that means a week of junk food (get the title now? Crunch, as in the chocolate bar. har har). Tim and I went to the grocery store and loaded up on piazzas that were only $3 each! That makes for a filling and cheap meal so of course we bought four of them. When we came home we realized that one wasn't properly sealed and being the lazy couple we are decided to go ahead and eat it because hey, it had been frozen! That doesn't matter for pizza tho and it was kinda yucky and we ended up throwing it away. The moral to the story is: buy lots of frozen piazzas so you can pull out another one if one is spoiled!
Anywho, yes, I have four finals this week: Critical Thinking and Gov't on Tuesday, Latin 2 on Wednesday and World Civ. on Thursday. I'm not sure which one I'm most worried about but I would have to go with Latin and World Civ. My Latin teacher is awesome and tries not to make the tests too difficult but there is just sooo much information. My Civ teacher didn't get the be-nice-to-your-students-because-they're-taking-more-than-one-final memo and she makes up for his (Latin prof.) mercy. We have to write two essays, one of the questions she already gave us and the other we can pick out of three she's giving us from the 6 on the review. Also there will be 5 short answers taken from the 156 (!!!!) that were given on the reviews. Oh, and did I mention there's a map portion of ten world-wide locations from about 75 on the review. I think I'm going to cry. It sounds much worse when its written out. Thankfully I made friends with a very generous and smart lady in my class and we are sharing the 6 essays and the ID's. So I'm actually almost done studying for that one. But I really want to do well in those two classes especially because I love Latin and I'm a History major, so I should do well in the Civ class. I'll just never take that teacher again! Bitter feminists don't always make the best teachers.
Okay, I feel better now, back to outlining "the role of the post classic nomadic empires in the development of a great Eurasian sphere." Those nomads! They're always popping up somewhere.
Cherrio and good luck to all of you with finals this week!
