ok so i know i haven't posted in a while, but come on. it's vacation.

finals went well for those interested. i studied 18 hours straight for biology, mostly with Jesse. we spent the night at a booth in big al's, drinking tea and coffee and eating butterfingers. and studying...me for bio and him for micro. he even made me tea to pick up on my way to my exam after i went to the dorm and showered. isn't he the best? he takes such good care of me all the time. even when i ask him endless bio questions. I ended up with an A- in the class, so i am very very happy.

being home is so much fun, i don't want to leave. i miss the people at school but not the work or stress or being away from those i love. i have spent a lot of time with david, ashley, benjamin, sarah and jenn, and my parents, and i don't feel like leaving them. it's too long until easter, i've decided.

had a really good time bowling and watching a movie and talking with erik last night. it was good to see him and catch up.

i have been sick for the past 4 or 5 days, not really anything big, just a stuffy nose/sore throat/headache type thing. it gets on my nerves.

jenn, evan, and victoria came for the week between christmas and new years..we had a lot of fun just hanging out at the house, having snowball fights, shopping, taking the kids to the barn, and doing puzzles. i miss them so much. we went to Yankee Candle and a butterfly house on friday, which was a lot of fun. butterflies kept landing on me, so i was happy. they still made me a little nervous, especially the big ones when they fly right in front of your face. i love butterflies. the kids got to see snow for the first time, it snowed out of the blue on monday, so it was cool. we made snow angels, and then the next day we took Evan tubing at Powder Ridge.

Christmas was good, had the Angerosas and the DeMarcos over for dinner in the afternoon, then went to see Meet the Fockers. not worth it. opening presents in the morning was uneventful, except hard without Grammy. it was so hard to see where she sat and to find no presents with her name on them. we all sat at cried at one point in the middle of the morning, just remembering her. I miss her a lot.

New Year's Eve we had Dayna, Chad, David, and Ashley over, and we all played Cranium, watched TV, and worked on our puzzle. it was quiet but nice with the people i love all around. then Sarah and I said goodbye to Jenn and the kids after midnight and made our way down to the Ridley's to spend the night, and all day Saturday. it was so relaxing and love-filled. i love their house..it really feels like my second home. we watched movies and stayed up late and ate lots of yummy food.

benjamin leaves on thursday, and i'm not going to see him till May. : ( unless I go visit him over spring break, which i am planning to do. so maybe it won't be till may.

i think that's about it for the updates. Saw Erin, Carol-Anne, Kristen, and Bill tonight. it was good to hang out and see them again..i don't think i've seen them since crosswalk.

i'm out.

10/1 on the run.
