Nightmare of Death... aka Finals

Actually really it hasn't been that bad so far. As demonstrated by the fact that I am writing a blog post right now instead of studying Italiano.... managia, what is wrong with me?? Alas, I am not as diligent of a studying machine as my husband, who is currently enslaved in the other room creating his cheat sheet (the legal kind that the teacher lets you make) for Epidemiology. In good news, he got NINETY-EIGHT (98... i just wanted to write it twice) on his first exam today!! What a stud. Here's crossin our fingers for that kind of outcome the rest of the week! Everybody knows he deserves it :).

In other news... we're both pretty ready for Christmas break. Here's my list of priorities:

1. Spend a day laying on the floor and staring at the ceiling. So my brain can heal.

2. Spend a day in bed/laying around the house/watching tv/reading books/never going outside/watching our fire

*i don't know who this lady is, but she's the blonde version of Christmas-Break Kelsey*

3. Maybe spend another day or two like that.

4. Oh yea and grade all those tests and final papers from the class I co-teach (sweet huh? except for the grading after finals gig. which honestly doesn't even sound that bad compared to studying)

5. Read a book or two. Got my eye on A Thousand Sisters and The Forgotten Garden.

6. Learn how to use the suhweet new camera Jord and I got ourselves for Christmas, also compliments of the generous Christmas donation from my parents (thanks padres!)


*beautiful, no? props to Jord for finding a screeeeaaaming deal on it*

7. Play/snuggle/nap with this adorable English Springer Spaniel puppy our neighbor just bought:

*don't you just want to die???*

As for my silly husband, I imagine he wants to spend his time doing something absurd like this:





*or let's be honest, what he REALLY wants to be doing is this:*


Silly man. Well, you can find me laying on the floor next to our fire for the next two weeks :)

Happy-Almost-Freedom-Break-Christmas-Joy!!!
