Finals are finally over...time for a much needed break!

Finals were just this past Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Now that it's Saturday, I can safely say that I've had enough time to recuperate! I had two in class finals, one take home final and two term project/papers. My two finals were on Monday which was great because I took them and then was able to focus on finishing my projects. My projects both went very well, one turned out to be 30 pages long, it was a group assignment and we finished at 1 am on Monday night! My other project was to write a PR campaign for a company (it was for my public relations class) and I finished that at 3 am on Tuesday night (it wasn't due until 3 pm the next day). All in all, it was a stressful time, but that it to be expected. I am confident that I did well on my exams; teachers are expected to put the grades online by Monday, so now I am just waiting to see the results of my hard word!

On Wednesday my dad came to pick me up from school and it was so great to head home! I packed up my bags and some summer clothes (I am going to take them home and switch them with all of my warm sweaters). On Thursday and Friday I worked on catching up with my family and catching up on sleep! My parents went to work and my sister went to school but it was very nice to just sit around and relax.

Don't let me fool you, my break does not only consist of relaxing! I am going to be working on many things for next term such as preparing my planner with next term's classes and schedule. I also have a book report to complete for the Leadership Certification Program that I am in. Also, when I get back to school it's going to be CHRISTMAS TIME!!! As you can probably tell, I love love love Christmas! Before I left for break, a bunch of us decorated the student union for Christmas on Campus. It is basically a day where a bunch of underprivileged children come to Mercyhurst and spend the day with a buddy (a Mercyhurst student) and they get to do arts and crafts, eat a ton of sugar, see Santa and of course get presents. So over break I am working on some Christmas preparations for Christmas on Campus and tree decorating.

Well, I'd love to stay and chat but I have a movie and hot chocolate calling my name! Since I don't get a whole lot of time to relax during school time, you better believe that I take advantage of this down time!
