A month off, let the blogging begin!

As a friend, you know that I can rarely stay sitting for more than the length of a movie without having something to do, so now that this semester is over with i am pretty sure that I'll have a month of good blogging for my avid, or not so avid, readers.

Yay.

So here are my thoughts, O loyal ones: I'm sure you are just DYING to know what's been on MY mind this long period of time!

My 5th nephew Oliver was born last Monday. This is quite good news, except he has been having problems breathing and had to be flown to Sioux Falls for medical attention from my lovely Aberdabber. My mum, Mark, bro and Sara are taking good care of him down there, but I still would appreciate any prayers you got going for you. The Big Guy likes to hear it and the little guy sure could use them!

The semester is over! Woot! This is good news, knowing that I have atleast 2 A's thus far (waiting for the rest of my grades to come in) and I have a rousing A- on my 20 page paper I worked so hard on! 2.5 pages of Bibliography and 72 footnotes... :S

I have a few friends who are headed back to Korea in a bit. Hyesun has already left and Jung Eun and Yu Jung's flights are in the morning tomorrow. This is bittersweet. I knew it was going to happen, but it still makes me sad. I feel almost resolved to take that exchange program in either Seoul or Busan. It's almost always in the back of my thoughts. I think I might have more friends in South Korea than I do at NSU! Ha!

My grandfather really enjoys this talking alarm clock I own that crows like a rooster when you set it. I looked online for one like mine, but since I won it as a prize when I was in the 8th grade (little over 10 years ago now) it is near to impossible to find. I did find him an alarm clock the crows, so he'll have to be happy with that. I think he's giving it to Grandma for Christmas :) we'll never know I guess! Depending on how long it takes to get here, it might be a New Years gift!

I bought the tickets for England last week. I am pretty excited about it and the simple fact that I'm already paying off my credit card shows my determination to have it paid off by June so I can use it some more when we get there! Ah the joy, right? Susan and Sara are going to know about it on Saturday and I can barely wait to see what their reactions are! I'm surprised no one has told them yet! I think everyone else in the family knows about it but them! Gee, I think even the pets know about it!;) Anyway, fun times to be had...

Now that I am no more nauscious, or in need of pressing knowledge into my head, I've started looking around my room. The idea to clean it has been arising for the past couple of days and I do feel like I should be doing something of the nature... and then I get lazy and watch a movie. I did wash all of my clothes and pack my bags along with studying, but it seems like my lazy streak is just as stubborn as the rest of me! :D I think my strategy this next month will be to pop in a movie and clean WHILE watching it... how revolutionary huh? So glad I thought of it...heh...

Well this is quite long and I promised someone that I bring them cookies tonight and tomorrow, so I should get to baking them... talk to you later friends!!
love,
