Cool. Well, I'm going to re-start an old habit: writing in my LJ instead of my last paper of the year (!!! this makes me very happy... and i'm over halfway finished, so thats not too bad). Lets see... well, where to begin? I've not updated for quite some time. I haven't been home in longer. It will be very good to be back home -- I've missed it intensely this year. Yet I haven't been unhappy here at school- by far this has been my best semester yet. (5 more to go!). Grades are good, etc, etc, but more importantly, I really feel like this semester (and, really, this entire year as a whole) has been one of tremendous growth on my part and the parts of many other people I'm lucky to have in my life. So, good going to me/you. Thumbs up. Not that we're done- quite the opposite. Yet I digress...
This semester has been full of the best ND has to offer. To begin with the obvious: Notre Dame Football/Charlie Wies. I love that man... there, I said it. And Brady & Samardzija for catching so many balls ;P. Now I get to go to the Fiesta Bowl over break! It'll be miles better than the insight.com bowl, let me tell you. Grant, one of my close friends here at school, will be spending New Years in Tucson & going to the game with me. So... anyone planning on doing something for New Years? We should do something fun-- I'd have a party @ the house but Mom has work on the 3rd, and the game is on the 2nd. The parents aren't exactly the most flexible people... we'll see how 4 weeks @ home pans out. Luckily, 2 of them are all me time (plus friends, of course) because everyone else is at work/school/various other activities. So I should be able to sleep in, kick back, and relax for a while. So weird to think about... I used to be so comfortable just spending hours doing literally nothing but watching T.V./reading/wasting time. Now it seems very foreign. Hopefully I'll get back into the habit quickly. Lets see, what else has made this year so fantastic? Well, I think my grades are the highest they've been yet (yay for business classes :)), which makes me feel pretty good about finals. Except I really hate accounting (but I have the most fantastic teacher... think Mrs. Urbanski but with more edge.) but thats ok... I really like marketing- and I did really well in the class, which provides further proof to bolster my plan to major in the field. Not that I need proof per se, but it is nice to feel like I've found a niche where I can shine here @ a school full of ridiculously over-committed, sleep-deprived, coffee-flavored students. (I don't really know about that last one, but I'd imagine its true, given the fact that the starbucks on campus is rumored to be one of the busiest in the country...) Beyond everything, though, I really feel like I fit in here. Like, solidly. Things are practically perfect as far as things go-- I mean, yes, there are exceptions (I wish my friends at home could be here!!)-- but the roomie is awesome, and glee club is much better this semester. Still very busy, but not as negative. That and I'm not hanging out with them all that much...when I have to or I feel the urge, I do, but thats like once or twice a month, tops.
Well, I think I've milked my time away from the paper as much as possible- its crawling past 2 am & class begins @ 8! (Shoot me, I hate Management!)
Take care, yo.
