My first semester in college is all over!
December 16, 2005
I can't believe it. My first semester in college is already done! I managed to make it through finals without any all-nighters or nervous breakdowns! And now I have a whole month to relax :) I can't believe I'm going home tomorrow for an entire month! It's going to weird to be home and just hang out, watch movies, go shopping, and not have to worry about school at all! And hanging out with my old friends and family! And then it's going to be weird to come back to school after being gone for a month too. But I think I will be really excited to come back because I will miss everyone here a lot and it will be exciting to start all new classes too.
This past week has been really crazy with studying for finals, writing a paper, and getting ready to go home! But I didn't get too stressed out over finals, and hopefully I did alright! It kind of sucks having to wait like 3 weeks or so to find out your final grades, but I'm sure this time is going to go by pretty fast too. I can't believe how fast the past 3 weeks went by! I feel like I was just home a few days ago and just got back from Thanksgiving break. But I'm really excited to go home and see everyone. Even though it is freezing in Minneapolis! I looked at the weather today and it said it is supposed to be a low of zero on Sunday! And today it was 45 degrees in Boston! But it was raining in the morning and then kind of icky later in the day so it wasn't like it was sunny, but it was still a lot warmer than MN! But I'm excited for the cold too because it's been snowing a lot and probably will continue to, so I am going to go skiing a lot over break which is exciting cause I haven't been skiing in so long!
I also want to try and read some books and catch up on movies I haven't seen, but mostly just relax. Because after this month I'll have another whole semester with only 2 breaks and so I will need to recharge myself this month and then be ready to work hard again next semester.
And Christmas is only 8 days away! My favorite holiday! It hasn't felt as much as Christmas season being in the dorms and not going around the city as much just because I've been so busy. But a bunch of us girls went to dinner in Faneuil Hall last week to celebrate the end of school and it was really pretty there. The trees were all decorated with white lights and there was a little Christmas tree vendor and so I got to smell the wonderful tree smell for a minute! So that made it feel a little more like Christmas. And the dorms are all really decorated here too which is nice. They try hard to make it like home. But I'm really excited to go Christmas shopping while I'm home because that is one of my favorite things to do and the malls are always so festive!
Well I should go and finish packing! I leave tomorrow morning and luckily my grandparents, who live about 40 minutes away, have agreed to drive me to the airport so I don't have to spend a ton of money on a cab or try and carry all my luggage on the T! That would be a challenge! And it's a lot faster driving there than taking the T. So I'm very lucky that they're taking me! I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and I will next write when I'm home in Minneapolis! Night- xoxo, Hannah :)
