Christmas

I’m so excited to go home; I’m leaving on Friday at 6 am.  As soon as I get off the airplane in LA my family is picking me up and we’re driving straight to big bear.  Big bear is a ski resort and I’m going with my mother, sister, mom’s boyfriend, and his two kids.  I’m really excited to go skiing for the first time.  I’ve been snowboarding before but never skiing.  Normally I would be going snowboarding on this trip but my ankle is still sprained from May when I fell rock climbing.  We’re going to be going for about five days and as soon as I get back I am going to my friend’s Christmas party.  I’m really excited to see her because I haven’t since summer.  A lot of my friends will be going and it’ll be good to see all of them again.  There’s going to be a bunch of board games, food, gifts and champagne.  I’m stoked for winter break I love seeing my family and I always miss them dearly. I miss my sister and mother the most.  I tell them everything.  I probably call my mother about five times a day just because I tell her everything and I always ask for advice, or tell her when I’m upset, or even super happy.  This semester went by so fast I am very happy with it and I have learned so much.  I feel like a different person from last year and I know it’s for the better. 

Week of finals

This week is finals week and everyone is super stressed out.  I’m not that stressed just because I only have to study for one of my classes.  I have to study for my math test on Wednesday and I need to study a lot because I can tell this test is going to be really difficult.  I also have a child development test on Thursday that I’m not nervous for at all.  My teacher gave us a study guide and said all of the questions and answers are going to be the exact same as the test.  She is also allowing us to bring a couple of pages to write whatever we want on the test.  It is going to be really easy and I don’t even need to study.  I like this teacher a lot because I still feel like I learn a lot even though she makes the tests really simple.  The only final I was really stressed about was my English portfolio I was nervous on whether not I would get a good grade or not.  I think I got a good grade on it and I’m not too worried but I just really want an A in this class.  I’m trying to raise my GPA so I can study abroad next semester and this year I have done really well in all of my classes.  I find out my grade in English tomorrow and I really hope Susan counts all of these latest blogs towards my grade!
