Break Time

It has been a pretty relaxing few days, even though the weekend started out on a sad note. First off, I actually had 3 days off last week!! Tuesday, Wednesday, and part of Thursday were spent scrapbooking and cleaning in my pjs. It was pretty awesome to not have to worry about going anywhere or getting dressed for a couple days. It was relaxing time that I was greatly in need of. However later on Thursday, I had to say good-bye to a good friend of mine for about a year and a half. He decided to enlist in the air force, and he heads down to basics in a couple days. We met for lunch to catch up and say good-bye. It was good to see him and lunch was yummy, but I'll miss him over the next 18 months. Hopefully all goes well for him, which I'm sure it will. :)



Friday was another not-too-happy day, or so it started out. I had to be up early and head to the cities for some Christmas shopping. What I planned to get was no longer in stock, so I had to find a plan B. I'm still hoping that this plan B works out, so let's hope it all works out. Then I was off to school for a mock exam of boards in January. I decided to go in completely blind and unprepared just to see how much I would remember from my internship and classes and everything. I guess I didn't better than I thought I would on the mock exam, but I didn't do that great, or so I thought. Supposedly, anything above 65% is awesome on the mock exam. I averaged 68%, so I guess I did really well! After the exam, I met up with some school friends at IHOP (where else??) for dinner. It was great to catch up and see them again, even if the weather sucked. It too me almost 2 hours to get home! And usually it only takes an hour and a half or so. But I did make it home eventually.

The rest of the weekend has been spent working and decorating. Although, I took a break from the decoration last night to go to "Wonder of Nativities" last night with my mom. It was a free holiday activity that was worth checking out. There were over 200 figurine nativities from all over the world. It was really neat to see how countries all over the world create a nativity. Some were handmade, while others were crystal statues. It was so cool, and definately will become a new holiday tradition.
