Well, Thanksgiving holiday was good. Did a lot of relaxing. It's back to the grind, now, though, with tons and tons of studying and school work to do to prepare for exams. I call it "dead week". It's never fun.

Christmas is getting closer which is exciting because it's my favorite holiday. I like the whole feel of it, as well as the actual significance of the holiday itself. We put up the Christmas tree and I put up some lights. The house looks really festive. Every year we buy new ornaments for the Christmas tree and put the date on the bottom of it. It's a family tradition. That's another part of the Christmas season I like, family traditions.

Me and my friend are sitting in the Cougar Cafe. It's nice in here, has a good atmosphere. I got a V8. That stuff is so good. One of my favorites.

This is the last day of school for the week, I am excited! I can't wait to get some sleep over Thanksgiving break. Hooray!

It's really chilly out today and as much as I wish it was the same weather we've normally been having, I have to say that it's about time that it got cold. I mean, it's in the middle of November already.

I can't even fathom that. At all. So much has changed in a year. More than usual. It's so weird.

Well, there are a few birthdays this week, my sister's and my best friends. I still need to figure out what I am going to gift them. I am really distracted with studying, so I haven't gotten around to it. Hopefully I'll figure it all out... before tomorrow. Oh, boy...

Stuff

Today after I got back from church I spent all afternoon highlighing what I need to know for my Psychology test on Tuesday. I finally just finished highlighting, and how it's time to study. This next test covers Personality, Emotion, and Memory. Very interesting stuff, but a lot of it... But, it's always like this. Just time to study my brains out. But, it's so so close to the end of the semester. I am so extremely excited for winter break. An entire month to do whatever I want. I plan on getting a lot of art pieces done during that time. I am getting a new camera for Christmas, so that will give me a lot of time to take pictures. I cannot even express how ridiculously excited I am! AHHH!

Only this week, then 2 days next week, then one more week, then exams, and then I'm done! Life. Is. Good.

Sunset

There is perhaps nothing in this world more beautiful than a sunset. As I worked out for the second time today, I was walking home and it was getting dark. I didn't notice the sunset until I turned around. It startled me how vast it was, taking up half the sky. It put a pink and orange tint on all of the surrounding houses and trees. It was so breathtaking that I literally stopped walking and just looked at the sky. I sat down soon after, just gazing at the different hues and the different clouds making up this beautiful sunset. Seriously, they are way overlooked. If you want to relax, grab your iPod and look at the sunset.

Busy With School Work

So happy tomorrow is Friday and that I have plans, too, along side a mountain of homework and studying. Oh boy, this will be so much fun... I have a Psychology test Tuesday. I have gotten A's on all the test so far, so I want to do well. I know I will, though. I always study really hardcore for them. I will most likely start that tomorrow afternoon. Got to write that essay, too. And I always have math homework. And I have a paper due on Thursday in Humanities. I will be so very busy... But I've got to look at it that I am so close to finishing. I've come this far, so I'm not going to give up now. It's so exciting.

This Is It

Today I went to the movies with my mom and saw This Is It. It was fantastic. It really exemplified Michael Jackson's work in a great way. You can't leave that movie without appreciating his work more. It bothers me when there are ignorant people that do not understand what he really did, and judge him on all the bad things media has exploited about him. They should consider the phenomenal music and culture that resulted from MJ. You can prefer to not like the music, that is fine, but you cannot ignore history that was made.

All that history was highlighted in this film. I would recommend that anyone and everyone sees it.
