FINALS!!

I can't wait until next year when I won't have to worry about FINALS!! Finals are at a terrible time, right after Thanksgiving and right before Christmas. It is hard to get into the Holiday spirit when you have finals looming over your head.

And to top it all off, I get sick almost every year around this time. I have bad allergies, so its just allergies (to those of you who just took a step back from me) not contagious or anything. Its just aggravating to me. I take a bunch of different medication and my friend thinks I'm going to mess up my liver, but I can't think about that right now when I have all this stuff to do. Besides, I've mixed the medicines before and its pretty much all over the counter stuff. I'm more worried about the DEA knocking on my door because of all the sudafed I buy. And I must tell you that this Sudafed PE stuff does not work as well, I've tried it, it does not work for me.

So I'm sitting here having to blow my nose and cough phlegm up when I'm supposed to be studying. Why did I take Income Tax? Why do I let my practical side win sometimes? Its crazy and most of the stuff I've never heard of before.

The good thing is I only have two finals and one project. The bad thing is that my finals are close together: Wednesday at 6pm and Friday at 9 am. The good thing is I'll have a lot of time to do my project - not due until next Wednesday.

So wish me luck on Finals and that I make it through so I can enjoy my holidays!

Another thing that doesn't help me get into the holiday spirit is the lack of money I have this year. DH's job is kinda sucky on the payment front. Don't let anyone tell you that all lawyers are rich or make a lot of money, because we are living proof that this is far from the truth! And due to the economy and my lack of free time this semester, I was cut from my job - so no extra money coming in from me. I'm dreading having to buy presents. My friend said she wanted to give me my present before she went home for the Christmas break and I'm thinking to myself I have no present for you and I can't afford one! DH said no presents this year, but he did that to me last year and he did give me presents and I was left only having a couple of back up presents for him.

Also with the lack of funds, we have a lack of Christmas decorations. That also has to do with my lack of time to go shopping because I'm sure I could find some really inexpensive decorations. Also, we still have boxes everywhere because we moved right before school started. Once my break starts I'm on a mission to tackle those boxes.

So Christmas Break Goals:
1. Rid house of boxes in front room
2. Clean House
3. Organize house - buy bins, move furniture around, get more bookcases
4. Clean out old room in parents' house (my mom sure is looking forward to this)
5. Get Christmas decorations (hopefully including a tree) and decorate house
6. Start cooking (both of us)
7. Start working out on the Wii Fit again
8. Buy new clothes and donate clothes that no longer fit my new figure
9. Relax and renew self so I can get over my funk
10. Reconnect with friends and family that have been neglected this semester (my friend/BM Kelley and my sister/MOH Candace)

Can I do all that in 4 weeks - we shall see!!
