Wrap up of finals week

  So there actually is an explantation for my lack of blogging, and i could easily blame it on my hours and hours of hardcore studying for my finals, but too bad that wasn't the case. In fact i probably did everything and anything other than studying, which probably explains why i didn't do too well on them, but hey for a senior i was pretty proud. They weren't kidding about senioritis.

Anyways, here is what i did instead of studying this week:

Temple lights! it took us about 4 tries to get a picture and it still didn't turn out decent. 

My friend Drew in my seminary class FINALLY gave me the Smeagol picture! I've been begging him all semester to give it to me. For some reason I find it to be super hilarious! But maybe you need to know Drew for it to be funny. 

(yes. i think she is looking at me and saw me take this picture.)

Finally kissed this class goodbye! i cannot wait to never take an environmental science class ever again. Don't get me wrong, i'm no animal/tree killer, but when this woman is your teacher you begin to want to become one. She's exactly how you would picture an environmental science teacher. We begin each class with a namaste, and end each class with a lecture on tragedy of the commons.

Another great way i avoided studying was going to the nail salon with my mom for a few hours for an early Christmas gift. note the magazine article on Les Miserables. You better believe i will be first in line to see that Christmas day!

ok, ok, so i guess i met up with a couple of friends at Thrive to study a little bit, but really i just went for the acai bowl. It really was just an excuse to socialize, but also be able to tell our parents we were working on our study packets :)

 I spent a few hours at a completely EMPTY ice cream shop. No one wants ice cream when its 40 degrees outside. No one. 

Thanks to Ash and David i expanded my movie collection! i've still got a massive list of more to get, but so far i'm pretty proud of it! Feel free to donate ;)

Last night we broke the rules and popped open some Martinelli's. i guess you could say we're just preparing ourselves for New Year's eve... or we were just really craving some sparkling cider and decided to make a big deal of it.

So that was my week of procrastination. Luckily my grades didn't suffer too bad, and now i get to relax for a couple of weeks.

Last semester of high school, here i come. Bring it on. 

This is the good stuff

These are the best kinds of nights. The nights where its just me and my Momma sipping Stephen's mint hot chocolate, and enjoying Hallmark's newest Christmas movie. The ones where you can predict how it'll end within the first fifteen minutes. I cannot even begin to explain how excited i am that it is finally December! There is no other month that gives you this good of a feeling. My one and only complaint would be the 75-80 degree weather we're getting. Come on Gilbert, you can do better than that.
