Wednesday already?!

Hi CSS!  Happy almost last and final day off fall 2009 classes!  :)  I hope everyone is feeling good about how their semester has gone.  It sure does seem like it went by fast!  I don't have any classes tomorrow, which was really nice of my teachers.  I will be studying hard for my 8:00 AM final on Friday.  I have already done a lot of studying though, so it should go well. 

Tonight, my boyfriend is going to take me out to the Olive Garden for some pre-finals carboloading.  Haha.  He goes to UMD, so he has a final tomorrow. 

I can't wait until Christmas too!  It will be good to see extended family and relax.  I hope everyone is having a happy week.  Happy studying!  :)

Dress Warm! :)

Good morning and happy Friday St. Scholastica!  Only about one week left of official classes!  It is really, really, really cold outside so dress warm!  All of the last exams and papers have been turned in for me, so the upcoming week is going to be preparing for finals and writing final papers. 

Tonight I'm babysitting for a couple who are going to a Christmas party.  Tomorrow my boyfriend and I are going to the UMD men's hockey game.  It will be a good time hopefully; he goes to UMD a hockey player I graduated with from high school plays on the team, so it will be perfect.

Have a great weekend and I'll blog you soon!  :)

Hi CSS!

Hello CSS!  It's Thursday evening here in Duluth, MN and the College of St. Scholastica has less than a week left of official classes!  Isn't that great!?  Is everyone preparing for finals and getting ready to relax during Christmastime?  I sure am. 

I have two final exams to take next week and a final paper for history to write.  It will be so nice to relax and have some fun over winter break. 

This coming weekend I don't have a lot of extra exciting plans other than babysitting and studying. . . .and of course relaxing a little bit. 

Have a happy rest of your week because tomorrow is FRIDAY!  :)

Blog you soon!

White Christmas?

Good morning CSS!  It sure is snowing out there today!!!  :)  I love the snow and cold weather for skating, sledding, snow forts, and hot cocoa, but be very careful out there on the roads today.  They are a little bit slippery.  There weren't a lot of cars on campus this morning, but everyone (including myself) who had an exam today probably wanted to be there.  It is good to be home again. 

Are you looking for something fun to do this coming weekend in the northland?  Well, the Nutcracker is playing at the DECC starting on Friday.  Tickets are about 20.00 but it's a fun event to dress up a little and to hang out with friends on a snowy night. 

I hope everyone's having a nice week before cramming for finals!  Drive safely and keep warm!  Blog you soon!

Mondaaaaaayyy! :)

Good morning CSS!  Happy Monday!  It's our second to last official Monday of the fall semester!  Good for you CSS students!  I absolutely have no regrets when it comes to transferring to St. Scholastica.  I love the school and the atmosphere is so nice.  I love all of the Christmas decorations; it makes everything feel like home and warm.  :)

This week is another busy week with finishing up some final tests and papers for me, but then it should be a matter of preparing for final exams.  Christmas is coming soon!  :)  I hope everyone is having a nice week so far.  Be happy!  :)

Blog you soon! 

Saturday evening

Hey CSS!  Well this morning's Jingle Bell 5K was a blast!  I had a lot of fun and got some good exercise while having fun!  :)  I was surprised at how few people were there, but my team and I plan to form a much larger team for next year. 

Tonight, my boyfriend and I are off to an Army dinner in Superior.  He goes to UMD, but is enlisted in the Army guard.  They are having their annual Christmas ball tonight,  It should be a lot of fun. 

Tomorrow I plan on studying, studying, and more studying.  The end of the semester sure came quickly!  Whoa!  :)  Well have a great rest of your weekend CSS!  Blog you soon!

Good morning and thank goodness it's Friday!

Good morning CSS!  Well, I haven't talked to you guys in a while, but this week has been an interesting one.  I have been babysitting a lot as usual and going to class and such, but I drove a four wheeler down a hill in the country WAY too fast and I tipped it!!!  I have a pretty nasty bruise on my back and on my legs. 

But, this weekend I have some more fun plans.  Tomorrow night I'm going to an Army dinner/Christmas ball in Superior, which I'm really excited about!  Also, my mom and dad have season tickets to the UMD hockey games, so I may go tonight.  We'll see. 

Other than that, I'll probably get some homework and studying done.  :)  Have a happy weekend and I'll blog you soon!  :)

:) Monday morning

Good morning CSS!!!  Is everyone ready for another full week of school!?  We're going to have a great week as we're expecting snow!  :D  YAY! 

I'm ready to get back into the school schedule again after a long holiday weekend.  I'll be back to school, babysitting, and studying.  After a long weekend I really miss the little kids I babysit for.  They are all so much fun. 

With only a few weeks of school left in the semester, I'm feeling so glad that I'm at St. Scholastica.  The school has been so great so far this fall that I'm ready to study for finals and take the last exam.  :)  Also, don't forget to sign up for the Jingle Bell run on Saturday!  I haven't run since this past summer, so it will just be a fun way to move around a little bit.  Have a fantastic week!  Blog you soon!

Back to sku

Hey everyone!  :)  How was everyone's weekends?  I hope you all were able to relax and enjoy some time with family.  This weekend just flew by!  I can't believe it.

Thanksgiving was really nice even though I ate way too much of course.  But, I also got to see friends who go to school outside of Duluth this weekend, see some movies, go shopping, and see the lights at Bentley-ville.  It's nice to have a weekend every now and then when you can just have a good time.  :)

With only two days of school last week, we'll see how quickly this coming week goes by, but with less than three weeks of school left in the semester, I'm guessing it will go by quickly.

Hope everyone had a safe trip back up to Duluth.  I'll blog you soon!  :)

Winter Wonderland or Fun in the Sun?

Happy weekend CSS! 

I did end up going shopping on Black Friday and I got a lot of stuff actually!  I bought a big lamb pillow that was about fifteen inches and round.  I also bought a raccoon for my cousin Kyle.  It was just kind of a joke, but he liked it a lot!!  :)  I also bought a couple of new shirts.  Our friend Bora from Korea bought jackets for her entire family.  That was so nice of her. 

For the winter wonderland question, I love both winter wonderland and fun in the sun.  I love winter for skating, sledding, and hot chocolate with friends, but I feel like a warm trip to somewhere tropical at the beginning of summer is a necessity :)  I don't think I could live in the heat year round though. 

This afternoon I'm going to see the new Twilight movie with Bora and then tonight I'm going to Bentlyville!!!  In the morning a group of friends from high school and I are going out for breakfast.  I won't see them again until Christmas break.  Have a great rest of your weekend!  Blog you soon!
