Happy Holidays!

I cannot believe it is almost Christmas! It really doesn't feel like it, although, that may be due to the lack of any Christmas decorations in my apartment. I love, love, Christmas decorations--but I am way too lazy to make them--especially when I will be going to MN on Monday to begin my winter break! Hopefully, next year I will get a bit more festive here in KS!

I also blame the lack of snow; I'm totally okay with no snow--but, I consider snow to be an essential part of the holiday season. (It's supposed to snow tonight...so I'm totally jinxing myself)

I have been watching Christmas movies, and am currently listening to Christmas tunes, trying to get into the spirit!

Tomorrow, I will be done with my first semester (woo-hoo). This has been the most anticlimactic  finals experience of my life... I only have one test, and three papers. I finished all the papers early, and will take my test tomorrow. No stress...just calm, so weird for me. I think the four years I spent absolutely freaking out about finals in undergrad...taught me to  calm the 'F' down. Seriously, getting all worked up and full of crazy eyes, didn't make me do any better (It just made those around me think I was nuts). Regardless, it feels good to be done:)

I really think I will get into the holiday season when I am back in Minnesnowta. So many things to look forward to, my nostalgia is taking over (seriously, move away and see how nostalgic you become...it's so odd).

I hope to do the following:
1. Kincaids Happy Hour--with a stroll in Rice Park
2. Outdoor iceskating
3. Macy's 8th Floor
4. Hollidazzle
5.Sledding / skiing

We will see if I can complete this list... I can turn anti-Hollidazzle pretty quickly depending on the weather...
