exams,snow and heading home

i cant believe the semester is almost over. just one more week until we are into exams well acctually just 4 more days. but its kind of exciting to think that we have made it through our first semester in one piece! well most of us. its even exciting that its snowing outside i moved to north carolina 4 years ago from up north and i have to say i never realized how much i really acctually missed the snow! but sometime next week we will all be heading out for long tests and tough exams studing will be in full force and passing will be our main goals. teachers will scare us into thinking its almost impossible to pass their exams but in the end we all hope to come out with at least a C! then its back home...im not sure about some of you but i know going home isnt the same for me as it used to be. Im not the same person i was a few months ago when i started up at school. I thought i would never change from the girl i had become but i was wrong...and im happy that i was wrong im excited that ive changed ive become a stronger person and realized that there were many things that i could do and accomplish that i never thought i would be able to do. But it still makes me sad to think that i feel like nothing more then a guest in my own house, that my parents have kind of started to use my room a a storage place things are always turning up when i least exspect it and i can see less and less of my floor now. my brother and sister also think that my room is theres and they can just walk in and take what ever they want when ever they want like its not longer my stuff, it tends to be annoyng after a while, you feel like hey i still live her just not all the time! and has anyone slipped up and said ill call u when i get back home? home meaning school and ur parents look at you funny? we spend 99% of our time up here now what do they expect? we tend to forget that even though we go away to school life at home doesnt stand still until we return it keeps going on and adjustes to us not being there. Well i hope that everyone has a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR! and gets the most out of their christmas brake and are ready to come back and make some more memories come january!!

so i totally feel the same about how quickly this semester has gone by! college is going by to fast, it needs to slow down!! im stressing about exams..i hope they arent hard and i hope everyone does well! but i know what you mean about home life. At times i feel like home has turned into a bed and breakfast and that i am only there to sleep and eat meals..its weird. and i hate when my mom has to know EVERYTHING that i am doing..that is so annoying. but it is home and i love it. but i have called western home a bajillion times and my parents get so mad!! but this place is so homey to me now how could i not call it home..?? have a great break!!!!

I hear ya girlfriend!!

College is flying by..

And I completely understand about feeling like a guest in your own house. My parents redid my room and made it into the guest room. So literally I am a guest in my own home.
