What?! 2010 is over?

Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays/all that good stuff. Man, it's good to be home and with family. I can guarantee that my family is THE coolest, funniest, smartest, most fun, awesomest family ever. It is amazing how much I laugh each day when I'm home. I love them so much and I'm grateful we're all able to be together for the holidays. I love the games, sleepovers, talks, jokes, classic movie watching (the Mighty Ducks trilogy, Heavyweights, The Grinch...you know, all the good ones), eating, and cousin time. Life is good.

Christmas Lights in Lewiston (where Shelly's from)

Moscow has been good as well. My roommates and I get along great and it has been a joy getting to know them throughout the semester. It is like living with sisters for sure. We have learned to "agree to disagree" on a lot of things. I am so glad I have them though. Always someone I can come home and talk to after a long day at school. They are so funny and keep me entertained (that is, when I'm not entertaining them with my song and dance skills).

Got my roomies in some BSU gear!

Brenda is an architecture student and stays super busy with school. Shelly is a UI cheerleader and keeps busy with school and practices, etc. (yes...a bsu athlete and a ui cheerleader living in the same house!! i've managed to get both the roomies into bronco gear). We don't spend a lot of time at the apartment...but when we do, it's a good time. I look forward to another semester with them. We are also getting one more roommate for the remainder of the year. Looking forward to getting to know her as well.

Shelly snapped a pic of me studying at home. This used to be a usual occurrence...then I got bored of studying...so I don't. Usually spend my whole day at school studying and don't do a single thing once I get home.

As for school....it's a lot of work. The nerd inside of me absolutely loves it, but the rest of me gets tired of reading, studying, preparing for class, etc. I think I underestimated the amount of work law school would really be. I thought the content would be harder, but the work would be less. I'm surprised that the stuff I'm learning isn't hard...but staying on top of the work is. I survived my first semester of finals (well...hopefully). We get our grades back mid-january. Soooo lame. We stress for finals, then forget about it, then have to stress all over again when grades come out. I felt alright about 3 of my 4 exams, but not so great about 1. The finals were intense. 4 hours long and they are the ONLY grade we get for the semester. Ahhh! Property is the only exam that i'm legitimately worried about. It was one of those exams where you stare at the questions and the facts for so long, just hoping that something will come to you. I think I ended up doing fine, but I don't feel confident about it at all. I guess we'll see.

It's been an excellent year and I'm excited for 2011. I can't believe I keep getting older and older. Going on the big 2-4 pretty soon. Probably should think about being more mature and adult. I'll get on that. Next year.
