It's January!!

And I can't believe it. The year went by so slowly at times, but when I look back on it I realize that it went by a lot more quickly than I thought at the time. But I guess that's the way it always is, isn't it? I have all of my grades except for one posted, and the one I need is in sign language and I'm nervous about it. Mostly just because I know the professor didn't get my last assignment because he never responded to my emails. If that seriously affects my grade then I'm going to be really bothered and I'll probably have words (or signs?) with some people.

Christmas and New Years were both wonderful. I was able to be home for 2 weeks, and that hadn't happened in over a year. It was wonderful to be able to catch up with people and just relax a lot. I got sick at the end of my trip which put a slight damper on things, but it could have been worse.

Last week I went to San Jose with my friend Karin to visit my old roommate Rachelle. We had so much fun! We went to San Francisco on Thursday and it was amazing! Our family went there probably about 10 years ago and I barely remember it, so it all felt new to me. We had so much fun just talking and walking around and looking at stuff. Rachelle and Karin are both going to Washington, D.C. this next semester, and I'm really going to miss them. I'm excited to hear about all of their stories though!

This break is going to be pretty laid back for me, and I'm planning on just catching up on my reading, I think I want to reread Lord of the Rings and probably Harry Potter. It's nice to think that I have a few more weeks of nothing in particular planned!!
