Hey, friends, family, people who happen to stop by and see what this crazy girl has on her mind.
I finished my first quarter of classes as a returning student, and there was something noticeably different about the finals process. Finals meant three things (in the following order) when I did this the first time:
1. studying your ass off until your face turned blue
2. lots of beer and partying when complete
3. sleep for a week after partying dies down
This time, I accidentally did the whole thing out of order. You see, I studied for about two weeks straight, and as timing would have it, the company I am working for had a kick-ass party in the middle of the day at a superb local seafood joint on the same day as my last final. Free booze. I can't pass it up. Don't worry, mom, I only had one Tom Collins...and a glass of champagne. All that said, I managed to sneak away before my Russian coworkers made me take Vodka shots with them, and was able to recoup before my final in Developmental Psychology. Very anticlimactic: it only took me 20 min. Anyhow, since I did they whole ritual out of order, I immediately went home and slept. The first time I have slept past 7am in months. I don't remember my first time at college ever waking up before 7am on purpose. Times they are a changin'.
Next week, I head to my home town for the REAL party to begin. My parents house will be full of great grub, old friends, family, and of course, a top notch bar provided by my old man. Rick and I are looking forward to being away from our crazy schedules before we have to jump back in for the New Year.
I wish any and all who reads this that you have safe travels and a wonderful holiday with the people you love.
