Hey everyone! Its been such a long time since I updated you guys on whats been going on in my crazy world but, since i last wrote, my days have been just that-CRAZY.

First off, for those of you who didn't know, I recently had a fire in my apartment. My roommates and I are fine and there was hardly any damage. Besides having to stay in a hotel for two days, everything is ok. Thanks to everyone for their concern!!!

The end of the semester wrapped up pretty well. We had our last meeting with the Compass Program with a nice formal dinner prepared for us to show our etiquette skills. I also attended my last Student Government Meeting for the semester and we ended the year with a walk through Hopeland Gardens to look at the Christmas lights and dinner at O'Charleys. The last week of clases ended with plenty of work but its finally over!

I took my first final exam today and I'm so glad its over with. One down, three to go!!! I can't wait until finals are over and I can go home and relax. It'll be the first break where I could go home and not have to do any work. So I'm exicited. I don't have much planned for christmas break besides spending time with my family and enjoying some great food, but its gonna be the best break ever because its much needed after this semester.

“Christmas gift suggestions:
To your enemy, forgiveness.
To an opponent, tolerance.
To a friend, your heart.
To a customer, service.
To all, charity.
To every child, a good example.
To yourself, respect.”
-Oren Arnold quotes

I hope everyone has a Merry XMAS and a Happy New Year!!!
