...Christmas this year!

Just kidding! Christmas is still tentatively scheduled to come on December 25th this year. Every year I'm surprised about how much has changed from the last year and how much I have grown up (hopefully) from the year before. I can tell I've grown up from my Christmas list. My mom called me yesterday to find out what I wanted for Christmas...
-Luggage
-Jeans
Really? No sweet toys or gadgets like back in the day. No, these are "grown up things". What little kids asks for jeans and luggage for Christmas? Granted, I just got a new iPod...but still...
I remember when I could ask for the newest Barbie doll accessory, anything Disney princesses, or anything a little girl could want. Now, I have to ask for needs.

Growing up sucks...

...more school...

...for awhile anyways :( Today I finished my last exams. One in forensics and one in physics. I received two phone calls today. One from my sister and one from my mom both congratulating me on finishing my 3rd semester in school.

It seems like it was only just October when I made my decision to take some time off from school. My, my, how the time has flown by. I'm now "free" to make a different set of life plans. To re-evaluate what I want for myself out of life. To find the person that I want to be and not regret any decision I make. It's what I want, what I need, and it feels right.

None of you know yet, because you have not been told, but I am in a sorority. One full of great girls whom I love with all my heart. And yes, it sounds cliche, but they have been the best family a girl could ask for (along with the BFF I have in Kels). All the friends I have made here in the "Arctic Tundra" will be missed greatly. More than words can say, REALLY!

Throughout it all there is a group of us. 3 of us actually. Me, Kels, and a friend named Alex. We all met last year during our first week as freshman, became a "triangle" and even though we have gone through ups AND downs we are inseparable. We have all been trying so hard to make time to spend with each other during this week, which wasn't really that hard. (Kels and I had quite a few outings together; Alex and I are in the same sorority and live in the same house.) So tomorrow, the three "triangle points" are going out for one last Hoorah as Kels would say and since it is "honor" of me, I have to choose. That is no easy task. But when it is all over it is on to the real life of packing. Those two are packing to go home for the holidays. Me on the other hand, I am packing to move home. That thought saddens me. A LOT! But as stated earlier, it is the right thing to do.

I am a big believer in signs. Those little things that happen and you think have no significance on you. I'm one of those people who believes that God makes everything happen for a reason. So here is the reason for this paragraph.
I can't figure out if God is telling me to stay or go:
-My car won't start.
-My packing isn't working out just right
-My relationship with one person is a little shady.
-My plan for what I will be doing in the upcoming months isn't really a PLAN yet.
(i.e. all decisions and thoughts are still up in the air.)
When I go and think about all these, my mind throws in what God would say and what two people in particular would say and it makes me wonder. But overall, I feel "RIGHT."
So, hopefully, I am reading my signs right and leaving is the thing to do.

Well I have to meet my Big Sis...Christmas presents are to be exchanged and if I'm going to meet her on time I've got to jet.

misspellings on my coffee from now on...we hope...

Apparently, kids these days don't know how to spell:


Ex)


SYDER? Really?! Where were you the day they taught you how to properly spell CIDER in grade school? Granted, I may not be the world's best speller but....SYDER? Kayt doesn't need my help to spell CIDER...

Anywho, Kayt and I had an morning full of adventure. Starting with getting my wonky tire fixed, trying to start Kayt's car, selling our old text books back, and then the best part...RED PEPPER for lunch! In between the chaos, we found time for a quick coffee break which is when the horrendous spelling was noticed...

...more Christmas shopping...

...at least for today. As much as I love Christmas time, Christmas shopping makes me crabby, and today was no exception. So I head out into the 15 below zero temperatures and was driving along University Ave when my low tire pressure light on my car turned on. Poop! So I drive to a tire store and they say they can't help me today, they are too busy. So I drive to another place...I would have to wait an hour and a half just to get my car in there. Well, I had things to do so I left and went across the street to another tire place. I was a little worried because the worker told the guy in front of me to bring his vehicle back in an hour. So I very politely asked if they would just fill my tire up with air. They did. They were very nice about it but informed me that I would need to get a new tire soon. Poop! But I had shopping to do so it will have to wait until tomorrow. So the actual shopping wasn't so bad, except for the fact that the only person I like shopping for is myself (selfish, I know). Anyway, I get back home and realize I forgot a present. Poop again! Well, that will wait until tomorrow too!

I am watching Oprah today and Tom Cruise is on. She giving every member of the audience every movie Tom Cruise has starred in. I wish I was Oprah's bff. (Everyone gets a humpback whale!) I still think Tom Cruise is crazy though... Tom Cruise is now signing a crazed fan's set of movies...

Like Kayt, I am putting off studying. I hate finals week. Its bad enough learning the material for the first test, but having to remember it all for a huge test is unfair. I do not think that it is an accurate portrayal of how much is learned though the semester. I would much rather do projects.

Well, I have ranted enough... I'm going to wrap my Christmas gifts to calm me down. I really like wrapping presents...

...studying during finals week!

Just kidding. There will be studying, I just have to get motivated enough to do it. I've had 3 days already and I think I've sat down long enough to say "hey i don't want to do this." Both my finals are on Wednesday so I keep saying to myself "I have plenty of time." But really I don't. So, I guess studying tonight is in the plans, after I get off work and all. I am having dinner with the the girls. So, maybe like always I will procrastinate until tomorrow when I realize that it is time to get down and dirty!

...more joint blogs...

On one of our last nights together (for a while) we came up with the genius idea to create this blog, to try to let the rest of the world infiltrate the brain waves that we share.

In true Law and Order fashion, THIS is our story:

We were two young, moldable girls...going to college far away from family and friends. By chance, or fate (you choose) we were put in the same room. While neither of us may get along well with anyone else (living-wise)... we formed a unique bond... We were both a little worried when reading the initial e-mails from each other, but we need not fear. (We'll show you the e-mails, but thats for another blogging day.) We became immediate BFFS! (what does bff really mean? we don't know but thats what we are!) Our first bonding moment: when we came back to our dorm room and couldn't get the door open. Good times in McVey! We learned, laughed, and watched a lot of TV and movies together; and neither of our worlds has ever been the same since.

So anyway, one of us is changing her path and leaving the other pea in the pod alone (not really...just without a physically close bff). So, finals are approaching, our time together is dwindleling...and we are wasting some of it by creating a blog... enjoy!

Pea #1 - Kels...
-Sports enthusiast
-Clutz
-Messy
-Completely in love with Joe Mauer
-Indie film lover (and just any movie in general)
-Doesn't really give a rat's bum what other people want...
-Listens to Christmas carols the day after Halloween (thats a lie...all year long...)
-Math stupid
-The one staying...


Pea #2 - Kayt...
-Book enthusiast
-Not-so-clutzy
-Organized
-Completely in love with (besides Kels) ????
-Not so much the lover of the indie films...but will watch, just to pacify Kels
-People pleaser
-Listens to Christmas carols the day after Thanksgiving
-Speller stupid
-The one leaving...

See how improbable our friendship is? In Kels's defense, she reads...a lot. And in Kayt's defense...because of Kels, she is beginning to appreciate sports... and Kels cares what some people think...particularly Joe Mauer (just kidding... no not really...)

Kels & Kayt (for the first and possibly last time blogging together)
