So now that we're almost done with the first semester of college, everything begs the question " what now? " Finals. That's what. It's all I can think about, and honestly...it's making me sick. I regret every class that I have missed in Calculus and Psychology, because now it is about to turn around and bite me in the butt ( pardon my french.) I have so many things to do, in so little time -- it's crazy. I can't believe that in 12 days, I will be done with everything and ready to start traveling home for an entire month. That's the longest winter break I have ever had, and I plan on taking full advantage of every minute. Well, maybe every hour or so. The next answer to " what now " is who you are going to room with for the next year coming up. It scares me that people have already started signing leases for apartments, and I hope to god I get a spot in one of the quad residential areas. It seems like off campus housing is such a hassle, even though so many people live there. People have come up to me suggesting living plans for next year, but how do you tell someone that you cannot live with them? It must be one of the hardest things to do. I know, however, that no matter how much I am looking forward to winter break and seeing all of my beloved friends again, I am going to be dying to come back come January. The freedom here is no where equal to the freedom at my house. I have no one to report to, and I love that. I don't have anyone keeping tabs on me, and I wish my parents could just learn to let go....but easier said than done - right? Oh well, they love me. What can else can I do? Study for exams....
