My last post of the semester. What a semester it has been. Finals start on Wednesday and I can hardly believe I that close to finishing my first semester here. It has been a wonderful semester, I have learned many new things, met legitimately hundreds of new people and even found some friends among them. Today was and bit bittesweet. I have loved all my classes in their own way, and have made many friends in each, hopefully many I will keep for the next four years, but I am ready for a break none the less. Thanksgiving break was a teaser in a way of what Christmas break will be like, and I am looking forward to it. It was an all over the place kind of day though. Did my math review this morning in class, feeling ready to take the final. Then FYS potluck and our last day. Since we got out early Sam, Julia, and I hung out for a bit before heading to our respective classes/study sessions, then I was off to bust through econ hw and french class, then I econ class which was review like the rest of my classes. I then headed to work to pick up my water bottle which I had forgotten last week, and now I am back to my room. I have lots to do this evening, studying etc. but am feeling confident in my classes and ready for finals. But first. I AM SEEING THE VOICE LIVE TOMORROW!!! One of my buckit list items for things to do while in California for school, and I could not be more excited. I am a huge Maroon 5 and Adam Levine fan along with the show in general and can't wait to see it live, finally. Well that is about it. I am off to venture in the world, twas lovely posting everyday. Who knows perhaps I will post now and then for the heck of it, but for now this is my last posting. Salut mes amies. :)

It was a semi busy semi relaxed day. Got up around 11am and took a nice long shower before getting food. Then talked to a few friends in the commons for a bit before heading back to really get going on homework. I started, but was soon distracted christmas shopping online for family and friends. I then I took off to go shopping in stores. Found my older brother a gift, and found my younger brother one as well. I have an idea for both my parents too. It was nice to make some progress on that. Once I got back to campus I got food and then spent most of the evening studying in the library before heading back to my room to finish up some homework. Now I am off to bed and ready for my last day of regular classes in the morning. Finals here we come.

Fun Sunday So today my brother came over to visit. Well kind of. Haha he came over with his wife to go with my Dad to buy a car. See my brother has been wanting to buy his first new car for a while and not to brag but my Dad is quite a negotiator. So my brother requested his assistance and my Dad said that it was fine. Of course he did it's his son haha. Anyways my Mom and I got ditched and left for babysitting duty. Isaac was being adorable as usual. He cried a little when his Mommy and Daddy left but after about twenty minutes he decided to play with his auntie. That would be little old me in case you were curious. Anyways we played around with Isaac's little toy car and then we all ate lunch. He had a tamale. Then Isaac wandered around following my dogs and he and Moka really got along quite well they are so cute man and Man's best friend people so cuteeeee. Then after a little while I was tying my shoes and Isaac came up to me mesmerized by what I was doing. That was super cute too. He then untied my shoes and tried to tie them. When he failed he just looked up at me and so I bent over and tied my shoes really slowly to show him how it was done. Then he tired again but still failed pretty miserably. He's not even two people haha. He's my cute little nephew though and I love him so much. Anyways after a little while Isaac took his nap. Jeshua then texted me and asked if I wanted to go out. I asked my Mom and she said it was fine since Isaac was asleep and my brother would be home any minute to take him home. So I went off and saw my Love. I caught him looking at something when I took this picture of him. He thought it was a good idea to have the moon in the background little does he know I used this picture instead of the one where he smile hehehehe. Anyways it was a great day. With spending the day with my little nephew and then seeing my Love in the evening. Honestly I am a happy camper with the way things are going in my life and I am grateful for everything I have. 'Twas a great Sunday and I know there are many more to come. Okay guys I think I'm done chit chatting for the day see you all tomorrow for our potluck! Byeeeeee

Christmas Shopping I went out with my Mama this fine evening. We decided the time had come to start Christmas shopping. We went to Macy's which is actually my favorite store during the holidays because of the Christmas spirit going around. I love the way the store is decorated with all the little ornaments red red and more red. I also enjoy their believe campaign and how they lay out a little Santa station where children can go and write a letter to Santa Claus asking him what they want for this merry holiday of Christmas. Santa Mail I mean is that not a cute notion? This year something I am absolutely adoring is the fact that Spongebob Squarepants has become a part of the Macy's team! I am fairly certain I have mentioned this before but oh what the hek I shall mention it once more! I LOVE SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS! HE IS SO AWESOME! hahaha just thought the world and rest of the universe needed to be reminded of that. Anyhow apparently this year at Macy's they are selling stuffed toys of Spongebob. Hek yea Macy's is that cool. When I saw the sign advertising it I got so excited. Build a Bear with Rudolph and now Macy's with Spongebob. This is glorious! An invasion of the best Christmas toys it makes me so cheerful. Anyhow back to the shopping. My Mom was glancing at the purses and I know she really wants one so I am determined to get her one with my Dad now. Today though I got Jeshua his present. I did not post it on here for fear he will see my blog and find out what it is. I also got my old coach a scarf. Its cute its got the club team colors. My Mama got my Papa a sweater and that's about it for the day.

Serenade This wonderful Friday I spent the whole day cleaning the house with my Mom. We tested the vacuum out. It's brand new and my Mom is really proud of the way it works. Other than that just the regular cleaning going on. Then later on my Love came over. He played the piano and sang for me. I was so happy and excited to see him! Anyways I ordered pizza so we had that for dinner. We got pizza hut and decided to order two large half and half pizzas topped with pineapple, pepperoni, sausage, grilled chicken, and I think that's it. After we ate Jeshua said he'd play and sing for me if I wanted him to. I wanted to record him but he was too embarrassed to let me. Anyhow he played and sang the song Mad World. For those of you that do not know Mad World is a song originally by Tears for Fears. However the original is very pop and quick. It is a sad song though so personally I don't think the rapid rhythm goes well with it however I would recommend reading into the lyrics because they're really intense. I'm into that sad music stuff though and love songs. Jeshua is too. Anyhow Jeshua played a slowed down piano version. This version is more popular and I'm pretty sure more people have heard this version more than the original. Personally I enjoy the slow version more it captures the sadness of the song in a better way. Jeshua did great. It was funny because he messed up three times before he got the hang of it. He kept saying wait wait I got this. He was nervous which I think is adorable because I mean it's just me he shouldn't be nervous haha. His hands were shaking but I gave him a kiss on the cheek and he seemed pretty okay after that and a lot more relaxed. So he played and sang the whole song for me and like a typical girl I was blushing and smiling all the way. He said he's gonna try to learn All of Me by John Legend now but not sing it because it's too hard. I hope he plays it for me though. After that we just sat in my family room the rest of the time and conversed about random things. Honestly like always he made my day.
