Yesterday was, as you know, Christmas. It's a holiday I really love and I always try to remember the true reason we're celebrating--which is of course the birth of Christ. I had a nice Christmas yesterday--for certain circumstances that you may know of and I will not discuss here, it was different and kind of depressing in a way, but it was a great day, and I had fun and spent time with family. It involved playing a bunch of games--I played "Sorry!" for the first time in a while, and I loved it (I also loved pronouncing "sorry" like a Canadian and bugging my mom with it: "Soh-ree"); a random preschooler game called "The Ladybug Game" that I think my little sister got for something (maybe Christmas) was also played by us (weird grammar...) and it turned out to be surprisingly delightful. (I finally got enough aphids!) And, as usual, I beat my family at Boggle... :)
So what else have I been up to? School ended for the semester, and I am excited to be on break. I will be having less of a classload next semester, since when the semester starts I will be dropping Calculus. (I got a D/F for it this last semester...my report card still hasn't come yet...and I don't want to deal with it anymore, I don't need the credit and it hurts my GPA.) This will actually be good because then I won't have an A Hour...my first time since I started high school! Yay for more sleep! Besides that, I will need to get my PE credit taken care of pretty quickly. I will be doing a lot of bowling...and learning about health and nutrition. Delightful! :)
I am also done...for now, anyway...applying to colleges. I sent in my applications to BYU and NAU, and right now I'm just waiting. I still do need to get my FAFSA in, though, once the new year starts, and I'm going to apply for random outside scholarships so I won't have to worry too much about paying for school. I still have my mission to save for...So anyways, I'm glad most of my applying-ness is over. It was very stressful, to say the least.
There's been other things that have happened in the past month...Vespers (awesome!), a bunch of caroling gigs for Chamber (very fun!), and my birthday (I very much enjoyed it...and thank goodness it wasn't like last year, where everything in the world seemed to be scheduled on that day...). Let's not even talk about the fact that the first two (NOT the last one, I'm not terminally ill or something) were my last ones...senior year, aargh!!! :) Well, I should stop blogging your ears/eyes off now. Have a great time after Christmas and through New Year's! Cheese out! :)
