Finally done!

The last week of the semester was certainly a long one! On Monday I had my Info Tech and my Presentation Skills exams, and they were my two easiest exams which I was glad to get them out of the way first because I didn't stress over them. I had Tuesday completely off from exams which was wonderful because I was able to study for my Accounting exam, even though it was open book, and for my Economics exam.

Wednesday was my dreaded Accounting exam. Accounting and I never got along much but I actually think I did really well on the exam, but probably because it was open book. Afterwards my dad came up because I was supposed to move out of the dorm to home on Thursday, so we took care of some Christmas shopping and had dinner together.

I also watched the season finale of America's Next Top Model that night and was thrilled when Saleisha won. I had this feeling that she would win since the first episode.

My week got a little bit longer on Thursday when I got a call from the school saying all classes, exams and other activities had been canceled due to the snow storm (although it wasn't even snowing when I got the message). I was furious to say the least. I was completely packed and so ready to be going home but honestly, I'm really happy that my exam was pushed back a day because the roads were horrible and it took my poor dad 12 hours to drive home when it should have taken 2. If I had my exam, my dad and I wouldn't have left Boston until well after 3 and
the roads would have been much worse and probably would have taken longer to get home.

I have no real plans for the break besides relaxing, working and seeing some of my friends from home. I'm so glad the semester is over but I suppose it never really ends because I have another one starting in a month.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone!

One week left!

I'm so relieved to say I'm in the middle of my last week of classes for the Fall Semester. I gave my last speech in my Presentation Skills class last night on chocolate and the health benefits it gives us; the topic seemed to go over pretty well, most people do like chocolate. I also finished up a group project this past weekend that was turned in today, so those are two big sighs of relief for the end of the semester.

Boston has been getting decorated for Christmas for about two weeks now, and the city looks amazing! There was a Christmas tree lighting ceremony last week that unfortunately I couldn't make it to, but I passed by the tree last night and it makes me really excited for Christmas.

It's also been snowing for about 3 days straight up here which I'm actually wicked happy about. I miss waking up on Christmas morning to a foot of snow on the ground, so seeing it snow for the past 3 days has been amazing!

As far as Christmas shopping goes, I have gotten nothing done except for one gift. I bought my sister two tickets to see the Spice Girls as her Christmas gift, but obviously she has to bring me. I told her about it; I really couldn't keep something like this from her for the next 21 days.

Last week all the Amabssadors went out to dinner in the North End for our end of the semester dinner. We had so much food, I don't think I had ever eaten so much in my life. We had calamari, garlic bread, and mozzarella sticks for appetizers along with complimentary bread. I got chicken and brocolli alfredo and it was delicious! Everyone's meal was enormous and I don't think anyone came close to finishing it. I still have leftovers but I think they're going bad so I should probably throw them away soon.

The Winter Ball is on Friday at the Seaport Hotel and my roommate and I are going with a few of the Ambassadors! I bought my dress the other night and I'm lucky that my mom shipped me my shoes to go with it! I'll be sure to take tons of pictures to post them on my next blog post.
