Well, Thanksgiving was a culinary success of course! I am really really missing the amazing food now. I had tuna-nuna casserole tonight along with my last piece of blackberry pie. Yes, my last reminder of Thanksgiving is in my belly! So sad, let me tell you.
So, this week has been interesting. I have been waking up super early to get used to waking up early for the LSAT on Saturday. I am anxious, excited, and nervous for the LSAT to be over with. I really hope I get a good score. We shall see though. I feel prepared, and I feel like I have worked my butt off. This week, however, is all about staying healthy, getting enough sleep, and relaxing. I'm treating my mind and body super well this week. If only I could give this much time and attention to myself every week.
Next week will be a long, dragging week since it's finally the last week of classes. The last couple weeks of the semester always go so slow, and this semester is no exception to the rule. My finals should not be too bad, but I really want to pull all As this semester so my GPA gets higher and my transcript looks wonderful. I cannot believe I'll be entering my last real semester of undergrad in what...6 weeks! How crazy. It's starting to get bittersweet, and I'm starting to think about things as my last time of doing something. I also get a little freaked out when I begin to think about leaving Dayton knowing I won't be coming back. Weird. At the same time, I'm ready and excited to see where I'll be spending the next three years of my life. Woo hoo!
The first real snow happened over Thanksgiving. I didn't even know it was coming; it surprised me when I woke up. Someone could have warned me. Blah. And to think, I didn't even bring a winter coat or winter shoes home for break, and it snowed. Thank goodness every time I go home, I am bombarded with gifts, and my gifts this time fit the weather perfectly.
The other day in my one class we were talking about environmental, population, natural resource, and other problems around the world. The one fact that really blew my mind was that each day, some people in the world live on only 1.3 gallons of water. In the U.S. when we flush the toilet, we use 1.6 gallons. How insane is that?! Also, a lot of people in the world live on $2 a day. Next time you get a Starbucks coffee, think of all the people who only have that for one day...and you are just buying a coffee. Be aware of waste in your life. No one needs waste or clutter, and I guarantee you'll feel better when it's gone.
Well, Project Runway is on now. I must watch and sleep.
