It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas...

Thursday morning NOLA received a little surprise! I woke up and I did my usual routine in getting ready for practice when my roommate asked if I had looked outside the window yet, it was snowing! As much fun as it would have been to practice in the snow, I was hoping practice would be inside that day, thankfully it was. The last time New Orleans had seen snow was four years ago; it was definitely a sight to see. This week has also been finals week. I have had three finals so far, and I only have one more to go! I am anxious to get back to Fort Worth. I leave on Wednesday so it is almost time for me to go back home for Christmas. My first semester of college has been a lot of fun though it was challenging at first. I was able to learn a lot about time management and responsibility, while still having fun at the same time. Right now, it feels a little weird because the majority of students have already left to go home and the campus is a little deserted. Anyways I am extremely excited about the break and I am eager to spend time with all of my family! 

 

P.S.

I hope you have wonderful Holiday! 

Thanksgiving and more...

Thanksgiving went extremely well and I was able to see all of my family minus two cousins, who were at football games. It was great to be back with my family again. We had our usual tradition of everyone coming over at about two and then everybody goes around to say why we are thankful. I was just happy to be there. Then we got into the good stuff. We had our Thanksgiving feast and after that, it was time for some football! Thankfully, both the Cowboys and Longhorns took care of business. Since I was back in town for a couple days, I was able to hang out with some high school friends I had not seen in awhile. Shortly thereafter it was time to go back to school for the last week of classes! The last week went pretty well, but I ended having to take a couple of tests and some quizzes on Friday. Oh, I was also able to be apart of Deuce McAlister’s shopping spree and I helped two kids shop for their Christmas list. The event was a lot of fun we had 35 minutes to shop then they ate for 30 min and later they went to a build-a-bear shop. I went to the Chi Alpha Christmas party on Friday and we had a white elephant gift exchange, which is always fun. Now its time for FINALS, but I am not too worried about them. I will be glad to get them over with so I can get back home, but I am just taking it one day at a time.
