YAY Blogging!!

Yay! It's my turn to blog! Woo!

So, I'm going home in 3 days and I honestly can't be more excited. I really can't wait to see my family, friends, and my amazing boyfriend. Although I miss them, once I get home to Apex, I'm totally gonna miss Cullowhee. I'll miss my room, my friends up here and most of all... the freedom. That's the biggie.. Living at home with my overprotective mom again will more than likely drive me crazy.. Last time I went home, she called me so often, wanting to know when I'll be home, and all I could say was "When I come home!"

I'm so excited to see my boyfriend and all of my highschool friends (wow, that makes me feel old...) We've made so many exciting plans I absolutely can't wait!

The only thing I'm not totally gung-ho excited about is going to Alabama to visit my relatives... I mean I love my family and I haven't seen my cousins in ages, but we're driving down there and staying for the whole week of Christmas. I honestly just want to be home in my own bed... But hey I think I'm getting a new iTouch for Christmas!! I'll just play with that the whole time.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!!

LAST WEEK

In ways I am so excited this week is here and then others I'm not. I get to go home in two days and I can't wait. I'm so ready to be home and see everyone. I love being home, that is one reason I am transferring back home. I also am so excited about Christmas. I love everything about this holiday and everyone is usually in such a good mood and I get to see my whole family. It is just all wonderful to me.
However this is probably one of the most stressful weeks. I didn't know what to expect this week with exams and everything. I didn't know how hard they were going to be and how much I should study. I just had my fist exam and realized I probably studied WAY TO MUCH. I study for just my chemistry exam all weekend, not lying either. I barely did anything else the whole weekend. I study so much that I felt like I forgot everything. I was so stressed out about it, which I am still stressed out about my other exams I have. Wednesday I am taking my hardest exam for this semester and I don't feel ready at all even though I have done well in the class. I hope everyone does well on their exams and doesn't stress out as much as me, it really doesn't do you well.
Seeing that I am not coming back up here next semester I am definitely going to miss so many people. I have gotten a lot closer to some people these past few weeks and I hate that I am not going to see them much again. Before I made the decision to leave I had not met many people at all and all I wanted to do is go home and be with my friends. However after my decision I started to get to know more people and like I said have gotten closer to several people. It stinks that I will not be able to get closer to them but I will come visit.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Stressful Week and DayQuil-Nichole Hutchins

Exams are next week! It seems like all of my professors waited until the end of the semester to give all the major assignments. It has been pretty stressful. I can't wait until christmas break, it will be nice to have a break and to go back to work to make some money for next semester. I am tired of being broke. Everyone, including myself, has been getting sick here lately. I drank a lot of DayQuil and now I am feeling a little loopy.

Should have listened to my parents...(Brittany LeSieur...Holly' Class)

A few weeks ago I had breakfast with my parents and told them that I was going to go fishing with Mike after. They told me to go get myself a fishing permit and I just laughed it off and told them that I was not going to fish in the freshwater, I only fish at the beach, plus Mike only had one rod. Well I should have listened because after searching for a good spot for a while we ended up at the Dillsboro Dam. We had been there like thirty minutes or an hour when a car rolled up. I did not think anything of it since a few other people were fishing near by, I thought it was just another fisherman. Well when he stepped out my heart drop. It was a wildlife officer... He told me that they had seen me toss the line, which I admit I did toss the line because of my competitive nature(I wnated to see if I could beat Mike). He came up to us and asked to see our permits. Mike had one since he lived at the ocean and went fishing frequently. Well he got off and I had a $156 dollar fine for not having one on me...
But i got my permit and went to court and it was taken car of no cost1!!

All going by so fast...

Hey girls, this is Stephanie Deese from Holly's class.

Is it just me or did this semester really fly by? 

I know it was just 15 weeks but it felt more like 5.

So many things are changing. 

We are growing up, trying to figure out our careers, managing a social life, money, grades, deciding wether or not to go greek, picking what to wear, finding the parties, having to deal with boys and all of the other pressures. Believe it or not I love it, I'm having a blast with it all. 

I think these experiences will truly last a life time. 

Lets make the best of it girls !

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!!
