Having studied my butt off for my ethics and Bib Trad tests, turned in my final Bib Trad paper, and worked on a draft of my final psych project, you would imagine how desparately I needed to get off campus and do something fun. That need was met as my friends and I went on an adventure in honor of our friend Sam's birthday. We went to the Grotto, which is a magical, woodsy place with carolers, concerts, nativity plays, two gift shops, a petting zoo, and of course, lots of Christmas lights. The music and lights are the two major reasons I love Christmas. Our friend Lauren's younger brother was singing there Friday night with his school, so we heard them sing a few numbers. This place is magical, unlike anywhere I've been. After walking around in 30 degree weather and enjoying the magic of the Grotto, we headed to Burgerville, a fast food restaurant similar to CA's In-N-Out. Although I don't enjoy the "burger" aspect of this place as a vegetarian, their shakes are to die for! I had a chocolate hazelnut shake that was thick and delicious, but too rich to finish.
Today my friend Trever went downtown to go Christmas shopping. I did not buy much aside from a few tubes of CG Bigelow lip gloss, which Antonia turned me onto and has the fresh, minty after taste of brushing your teeth. Trever and MacKenzie are in the honors program and hung out with us sometimes. We really enjoyed walking around the mall and chatting. He's a great guy and I'm really glad we've gotten to know each other better this year.
Concerts: Tomorrow at school and then at the Grotto Monday night. I love Christmas music!!
Luckily, this weekend has not been too heavy on homework. I don't have tests until finals week, and I only have 3 of them (the other two classes I have a project and a paper). While studying for my ethics and Bib Trad tests were stressful, I survived them both. I don't think I aced the tests, but I don't think I did horribly either. However, I just want to get them back as waiting makes me anxious. I hate the feeling of studying my butt of and not having my grade reflect my hard work. I know grades aren't always everything, but right now they are because my going to London in the summer depends on them. At least this coming week should be a little less stressful compared to this past week.
11 MORE DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS BREAK!!!!!!!!!!!! :D
Going to post photos from the Grotto and then GLEE TIME!!!
