Snow Blizzard

Okay, it's really starting to look and feel like December/Christmas time. I've got Christmas music in my head and it's a blizzard outside. Not cool. Normally I'd be huddled in bed under the covers for warmth right about now, but today I'm super cheery and feeling productive. This morning I woke up at 7:00am to do some extra studying for my 8:30am midterm. I ended up making a friend in that class and I think I did well on the midterm. Finally I'm done all of those and I can concentrate on assignments and exams (oh joy!) Anyways, I got out of there around 9:00am (yea, 30 minutes to complete the midterm sounds sketchy to me too but you had to be there to understand), and then I went grocery shopping. Came back home, dropped my purchases off, went to the mall, did some clothing shopping... I don't like the new colors for this season by the way... did some book shopping... which was not cool because Chapters didn't have the book I wanted... and then headed off to parliament hill to get a picture of the first snow fall... oh yea, I forgot to mention I did all of this in crazy snow falling. I headed home happy with my productivity (by then it was just past 10am) and went to the other grocery store to pick up a few more things I knew were cheap there.... plus was planning to start some more christmas shopping but a certain specialty store I wanted to go to wasn't open yet. Grrr... so anyways, I made it home just past 11am to watch Martha Stewart (I don't normally, but I wanted to warm up a bit so I watched her make turkey stuffing)... and now I'm thinking I ought to start some of my homework for the weekend. I only have one more class this week, and it's a field trip tomorrow!! I'm super excited because some of my friends and I are meeting bright and early for pre-breakfast... and then we get to go "shopping" after the field trip presentation at the store. coolness. lol. Anyways, I have yet to feel the winter blues.

What's up with you?

It feels like this semester is almost over, when I well know I still have well over a month. I keep looking at the stuff I need to get done between then and now, and as that list gets smaller, I feel so much closer. So I guess I need to remember that now is when most of the weight of my marks is coming in, so I need to be just as focused as before. However, now is when I'm getting tired of the homework stress and want to go out and have fun. I really should find a way of balancing my life... but the fact is, I don't think it would work for me too well because not having loads of time to do my work would just make the situation worse. meh.
Anyways, I have to say I really haven't been up to anything interesting at all... I spend a lot of time helping my friends and classmates with their homework... either forcing them to accept my answers instead of theirs for assignments or by teaching them everything.... lol.
I'm excited by friday with baking with Heather followed by a party at her house.... but friday morning I have a presentation that I'm scared about. So going out friday is like a reward for getting through the presentation... no matter how poorly I do.
