Nearing the End

I can't believe that this semester is almost over. I have two days left and then finals week. I really could not tell you where this semester has gone. It really doe feel like just yesterday I was making plans to come back to school. I once heard that time goes faster the older you get and I now believe that is true!
I realize I still suck at updating my blog so I feel like I have a lot to cover. If only I had an interesting life now days.... My birthday was back in October. I turned the big 25. I am still having trouble with that one. In all my wildest dreaming I never pictured this is where I would be at 25. In school again, single, and just living a mundane life. At the same time I feel so blessed at all the things I have gotten to do in my short 25 years on earth. I've been able to graduate not only from high school, but from college, and now I have the opportunity to go back for another degree. I've been given many opportunities to travel with a few more to come in the near future. I truly am a lucky girl! For my birthday my mom and my sister came down to Cedar to spend the weekend with me. We went shopping in St. George and I took them to one of my favorite restaurants for lunch (Mongolian BBQ). Then that night we went bowling. I didn't know my mom was such a bowling pro! She won the first game and I won the second. I went home a few weekends later to celebrate with the rest of my family and friends. SUU decided this year that we weren't going to have a Harvest Holiday so I made up my own and had an extra long weekend.
Last week was Thanksgiving. I wanted to avoid the snow (or what was predicted snow) so I skipped school on Monday and went home on Saturday. Besides the snow, and threat of snow, it was a relaxing week. I spent a good deal of it catching up on Dexter and reading. I started reading The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo a few months ago and have not been able to put the books down (there are three in the series). I highly recommend them to anyone who is in need of a good read.
Like I said before, this is now the last week of the semester. I have been super busy with finishing up my classes. All I really have left is my paper for art history and a couple of deposition summaries for case prep. Oh, and of course finals. I had one final earlier this week for an online class and I am very happy to be done with that class. The teacher was ridiculous! He is one of the main reasons I am transferring to SLCC next fall.
As for next semester, I am so excited for it! I am taking advantage of being at a university for one last semester. I am taking Computer Crimes, Forensic Psychology, Personality Theory, Family Law, and Intro to Communications. I'm also taking the weight training class so I have a real reason to go to the gym. This semester was so crazy I didn't really go at all and I can tell.
I will be back home at the end of next week (weather permitting of course) and I can't wait for one whole moth with NOTHING to do! I'll be leaving for NYC on December 29th to spend New Years with Allison and won't be back until January 5th. I have big plans of relaxing and sleeping!!! I can't wait!
