Leaving on a jet plane

Well, in less than 3 hours I will (hopefully!) be in the air, on my way home for Christmas! There is a big s torm moving through the area right now, and it is snowing pretty good out there. I am leaving super early to get to the airport, and hopefully my flight won't be cancelled. I can handle being delayed, (to a certain extent), but not cancelled. My wonderful roommate is taking me to the airport, so I don't have to worry about leaving my car there. Now lets just hope we can make it out of the airport and into the air! I am definitely excited about going home. It will be a good break and it will be fun to have the whole family home. Whats even nicer will be that I don't have to do any school work while I'm there! Finals were a bit killer and I am so needing this break. It will be lovely! I hope everyone has a great holiday, travel safely and have a Merry Christmas!! I'm off!

Ahhhh...

It has been such a long time...sorry about that! In my defense, school has been quite busy this last little while. The big news today is this: I took my last final of my first semester of graduate school this morning! That means I am done until January! YAY! I get three wonderful weeks off, no homework, no projects, no tests. Wonderful! I get to go home on Friday and just relax. So exciting! My tests ranged in difficulty, with the most difficult definitely being this morning. This one took 2 hours and was all application based short answer. TONS of writing that definitely made my poor hand ache! Luckily I finished, and its done. I think I did pretty well on everything. Maybe not 100% on everything but enough to make it through okay. thats all I really care about! Overall, I have to say that this semester has been one of the hardest and challenging I have ever had. I've been frustrated, upset, happy, totally confused, and learned so much more than I did in all my 4 years at BYU. Crazy! It was good but went by so stinking fast! Its hard to believe its already over.
In other news...snow. I am pretty much done with it already, and yes, its only December 17th. We have had a few big storms pass by here in the last week and have dumped a ton on us! I think yesterday we got at least 5 inches. Another light storm is supposed to come tomorrow, and another big one on friday. Man oh man. Luckily all the roads and things have been okay when I have had to drive. Lets hope it stays that way. If its not snowing, its stinking COLD. Like I said, I am pretty much done with winter. Bring back the warm!!

Well, I am off to the airport on friday for a nice long break. Cross your fingers that the storm that is supposed to come that day allows me to take off and get back to Nevada!!!
