Christmas Break?!?!?!?!

Hard to believe, but tomorrow (which will be "today" in about eight minutes) is my last day of regular class for the semester.  HOW is that possible???  Tomorrow I have two different presentations to do.  Monday and Tuesday are test days, but only one of my three tests is a comprehensive final.  And then break!!  Well, sorta.  I'm taking a minimester which I'm kind of dreading, but I'm doing it for the sake of having my summer completely free (same reason I'm taking 18 hours in the spring sememster) so I think in the long run I will be glad for the minimester.  But it's math.  And I haven't had a math class in about 12 years.  And the last one I had was the lowest level I could get away with.  This class is just a 110 level but it's been so long that I'm a little nervous.  I'm hoping that because it's a minimester the teacher will be easy on us.  If not I guess I'll be living in the math lab over break. 

 

When I think back to August and how my world was kind of turned upside down in a matter of hours...  I don't think I would have really been going against God if I would have decided to say no to the program.  But if I had said no, I probably would still be feeling the same way I was back then- not really knowing where I should be, still trying to find my place.  But in deciding to do the program, I have found that even though it wasn't really my plan, it's right where I need to be.  There's been so many things that have confirmed and reconfirmed that.  Mostly I guess I'm thinking about right after I accepted the spot in the program.... I only had a short time to get registered and get things ready.  And everything, down to the tiniest details fell right into place.  Things that should have caused huge headaches went so smoothly.  When God opened up the doors for school, he opened them up W-I-D-E.  And I believe he has a reason for putting me in there.  I love all my classmates.  If any of them are reading this they'll probably think that's really cheesy, but it's true!

 

Anyways.  It will be nice to have a little breather.  And just for the sake of posting a picture, here is cousin cookie baking night.  We did it about a month ago but I never posted about it.  When my grandpa was alive, he would have the granddaughters come in sometimes to bake cookies.  Always peanut butter cookies and ranger cookies.  We started talking about it awhile back and decided it was high time we start that up again.  So here we are.  Love them!
