Monday morning and it's back to school. I first had 144 and I turned in homework and had a normal class. Then I went upstairs and we began a new chapter of our Dynamics program. I then came home and did some homework that was due this week. I also cooked jambalaya which would be my lunch and/or dinners for the week. I then had to leave for work shortly thereafter. I did 4-10 and got out on time. While I was driving home, I was in like a total of 15 snowflakes! First time in the snow! haha. 11:12PM

I woke up at 7:45 and got ready for work yet again. I arrived and it was another fairly busy day, but not too bad. I only worked over 7 hours. When I got out I came home and got my grocery list together. Then Nick and I went out to get our groceries. We came home and then made dinner: ham and mac and cheese. Mmm salt lol. We ate and watched a little tv. After all of my working I just wanted to relax. I also watched my Sunday night shows and then called it a night. 11:32PM

I woke up at 9 and got ready for work. That left me a few hours to do as much homework as possible. I finished some things and then I put together my lunch and was off to work my closing shift. It was a long 9 hours of work. Again it was busy on and off but really not a huge mass of people that I'm use to seeing. We got out and when I got home I ate/snacked a little and then went to bed. 11:25PM

Let's see, I woke up around 10 and got ready. I did some homework for a few hours, but then I had to go in to work, for Black Friday at 2. I left early expecting traffic, but I ran into none. And the parking lot wasn't that full. This is no Black Friday, it's weak. I think we had more people during back to school peaks. But by this time the incentive was over. There was a 20% off entire purchase given out from 6-10am. Work was occasionally busy, but really not too bad. Many hours later I finally got out of there and got home. I ate a little dinner/snack and then went to bed after midnight. 10:43PM

I woke up around 9. It was nice to sleep in for a while. I took out the rolls and got them set up. I then showered and had breakfast. While I was waiting for the rolls to rise I finished my 144 homework and got pretty far in my AIS homework. Then I had to start doing stuff. I had let our ham cook for almost 2 hours and I put a glaze on it. We also began to boil potatoes for mashed potatoes. I heated up some corn and the pie had been sitting out to get to room temp. I put in the rolls and then we finally began to eat around 3:30. A few minutes later, we began to put away around leftovers and begin our dish washing lol. This was around 4. We finished our dishes and then watched tv since we were soo full. We watched some DVR-ed shows and then later I got Nick to watch Love Actually, which I love. And he sat through it on tv for 3 hours, yay! 11:15PM

Ah no classes, but I was up at 7 in order to get ready for work instead. I worked over 9 hours. By the time it was around 3, I still had like 3 hours left and time just couldn't go by fast enough. It was also surprisingly not busy for the day before Thanksgiving. I remember it always being pretty busy back in Louisiana at this time. A few customers yelled at me today which was unpleasant, but it's the retail industry after all and people are mean. I was happy to go home because my knees and back were achy. I drove home, and we made spaghetti for dinner. I was tired, but began some homework I had: 144 questions. I got through most, but then relaxed with some tv and then went to sleep. 12:35PM

Last day of classes before Thanksgiving break! One of my classes was canceled for "project day." I just slept in. When I did get up, I did a little more work on my Tax Research problems to make sure I had some good answers. I was pretty satisfied. Then I went up to campus for my class. Just 19 of 27 people there. Much lower haha. He made us stay the whole time, and I was sure we'd be let out early. Oh well. After class I came home and made a pizza. I ate a slice and then packed up my dinner, because I was off to work! I may be on break, but I'll be working straight for the next week and a half, bleh, I'll be tired. Work was good though. Only 6 hours. People were really happy to see me back, which always feels wonderful lol. Once I got home I relaxed and then went right to bed. 1:47PM

I got for normal class, 144. Only 6 our of 8 people were there. That's kind of an average day though. Then I had AIS and 21 of 25 people were there. Not bad really. Especially since I've been hearing about people leaving really early. I then came home for some lunch with Nick. We heated up some chicken fingers and then put them on french bread as a sandwich. It was yummy. Then I went back up for History and that was a pretty full class too. I forgot to count lol. I walked home and then began my Tax Research questions. That was the only thing I had to do that's due tomorrow. Later I played a little Lego and then made dinner: meatball subs. That was good. We watched House, the series finale of Jon and Kate Plus 8. Which is so sad that it's done for. I want to watch those babies grow up! I've been watching for like 2.5-3 years now! :( Then we watched Cake Boss and then called it a night. 1:43PM

I slept in a little I guess. I got ready, had a small breakfast and then Nick and I went out to run a bunch of errands. First we went into Williston to the Christmas Tree Shop. There I returned some things I didn't need/use for Big/Little. Nick also bought Lexi a little Christmas gift. Then we walked over to Best Buy. I had received a new product from Febreeze as a test sample and I did a survey for them after a few weeks and I'm getting paid $50. Sweet! So I used that money to buy the new Wii game, Super Mario Bros. I'll get to that eventually maybe. Nick also got a game. We then drove over to Bed, Bath, and Beyond and bought some presents for Steve and Sarah's wedding. I said hello to some people and it helped me get over my nerves that I was having ahead of time lol. I'm going to be working there for like 2 weeks and I always get nervous when I'm about to go back lol. Then we went to the grocery store. I found a pecan pie! So I'm not going to make one. And I couldn't find Rhodes rolls. In fact, they sell like zero dinner rolls in the frozen section up here. Nick seems to think dinner rolls are a crazy idea lol. I don't know what he's thinking, but they just don't sell them up here. Damn! Then we drove home and unloaded all the groceries. By this time I had only just over an hour before I needed to go to my sorority meetings, so I just relaxed around the apartment. I drove up the meetings and they were both pretty short which was nice. I came home and got to watch the Amazing Race, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and Storm Chasers. All were great. Loved the finale to Curb and Storm Chasers is getting so exciting! 9:46PM

Yay finally it's the weekend. I slept in only until 8 but that's ok. I first began on my AIS homework, which is this huge huge assignment. I spent hours working on it. I thought I messed up, but everything still balances and it would be nearly impossible to start over from scratch. It looks good so I'm happy with it. And I finished just in time, around 5 Nick and I left to go to his dad's house. There we were to have an early Thanksgiving meal with him and his grandparents. We also sneaked in our dirty laundry to do for free hehe. Dinner was good but I was extremely full after and then we had apple pie, more full! We left around 9 and came home to watch tv for the rest of the night and to relax. Most of our friends have already gone home, liek I said they would. 5:16PM

I slept in until about 9 which was nice. I had been tired waking up early for exam days. I got ready and finished my 144 homework that I had started the day before. I then went up to campus for my only class: History. We were given the incentive to come to Monday's class in order to get our paper's back. Professor's are really expecting the classes to be small because we're only off for 3 days, when it's normally a whole week. So I know a bunch of kids that are actually leaving today to go home. I came home and checked out my senior pictures. Some are funky, but some are pretty nice. I'm pleased with them. Nick and I went downtown later and he got me my Indiana Jones 2 Lego game that he had owed me since my birthday. It just came out that's why. We walked home and I began to play that. So much fun. The quality has been updated and it's a new style. I didn't do anything else this night. 5:10PM

I woke up at 7:30 in order to prepare a little more for my exam. I walked up to campus and had that first, 146 exam. Some of it was tough, and some of it was easy and obvious. I still feel a little burned out from Tax. I got a little early so I went with Nick to the library for the Cyber Cafe. We got some coffee drinks and then I went back to Kalkin and he went to his next class. I then read a chapter of Tax and then went to Tax class. He's holding off on giving our exams back until the following Tuesday as an incentive for us to come to class lol. We got out early there too which was nice. I came home and worked on my 144 homework, but it was taking forever. Just long and complicated. Around 5:30 I quit and Nick and I walked down to American Flatbread. We met up with his grandparents and had dinner with them there. It was nice and we had some good food. After I was stuffed we were brought to Ben & Jerry's for ice cream. Now I was super stuffed. We said bye and we came back home for some Thursday night TV. And that was it! 5:06PM

I woke up at normal time, 7:30 and got ready for class. We walked up for 144. We went over new material, but we got out 5 minutes late. I was worried I wouldn't be able to claim a power outlet, but I did, yay! We got through a lot of our assignment which was good. If we needed help from the professor, she was there. After class I came home and had lunch with Nick. We split he leftover jambalaya. Then I walked back up for History class. We were back in the classroom for a normal day. I came home and began my studying for 146. I have that exam tomorrow. I studied for several hours, but then had to clean the toilet. It was the only thing I didn't get to yesterday. Then, believe it or not, a couple came to check out our apartment. They were in for a whole two minutes, but the apartment was neat and nice. Hopefully they'll take it so we don't have to keep having showings. After they were done we made ravioli and rolls. It was yummy. Then we studied a little more and then watched Nip/Tuck and then called it a night. 4:33PM

I woke up at 6:40 to register for classes at 7. It was uneventful since I register on the second day. I signed up for 6 classes, some will help me with my major, etc etc and some are just easy A fillers. I signed up for Visual Basics .Net, Python Programming, Database Development for the Web, BSAD 191, and then beer class (yep, trying again, because this time it fits into our schedule), and an easy history class that has 247 students in it at once. If it's huge, it must be easy, because no way will they grade like huge paper, it'll be scantron multiple choice. And Nick said it was good/easy class. I got into the shower afterward and then continued to work on my Tax cheat sheet. I went up to campus first for 146. We were back in the lab doing virtual machine stuff. Then I went upstairs and finished my cheat sheet and went through the power points again to be sure I knew it all. I took the exam. It was decent and I felt like my cheat sheet was perfectly helpful, so we'll see how it turns out. I came home and just relaxed. I did homework that would be due the next day and then cleaned the apartment. I dusted everywhere and vacuumed because we're having a showing Wednesday. And I haven't cleaned in a while, so I might as well do a good job. We made burgers for dinner, very yummy. Nick always thinks they're cooked through too much, but I think it's good! lol. We did homework till like 10 and just watched an hour of tv and then called it a night. 11:23PM

I woke up a little bit earlier than I needed to. I jumped into the shower and then had breakfast with Nick. He insisted that I eat with him at the same time lol. We walked up for 144 class. We went over homework and it was long. I then went up to AIS and I had to work with the same transactions as I did a year ago in my Intermediate Accounting class. It's this 'Waren Sports Supply' scenario and I've already struggled through it once with Stephanie and now we've got to do the exact same thing, but with the Microsoft Dynamics program and it's painful. I walked home after class to have also have lunch with Nick. When I wasn't eating I worked on my Tax cheat sheet. I walked back up to campus to go to a guest lecture instead of History class. My professor was smart and scheduled it as this time, so we really had no excuse. We'd normally be in his class, so we had to go to that lol. I was feeling tired beforehand and was having a hard time staying awake. It would have happened with anyone. I then came home after seeing Nick briefly at work. I then began more work on my Tax cheat sheet. I spent hours and hours and hours on it. It just never seemed to end. At 5:30 Nick and I went to meet up with our landlord and to see her new apartments in South Burlington. They're for "young professionals" and would be all around a step up. We have two scenarios as this point. We remain in Vermont after graduation, or we move elsewhere. We decided just to check out like 2 places to get an idea. Hers is first. So it's really, really nice. And not to mention, brand new! She said she would love it if we lived there. We are great tenants. It's just a matter of finding out where the job offer will come from. I'd love to live there, it's got 95% of everything we want, so we'll see. We came back home and Nick made some jambalaya for dinner as I worked more on my cheat sheet. I didn't watch much tv, but had to take a break because my fingers were hurting. I got back at it thought before I called it a night. 9:58PM

I couldn't mange to sleep in much today either. I got up around 9 and showered. I had breakfast and left with Nick to go to the grocery store. We then came home and put everything away. I began to finish my History paper. It took longer than I wanted to, but I think it's pretty good. I then worked more on my cheat sheet and my quiz until I had to get dressed up for my sorority meeting. Tonight was Big/Little reveal. We first had our normal meeting and then did the fun part. It was full of cute moments. She made me a little picture frame and I gave her a little necklace I've had since the summer. I finally got home and ate dinner that Nick had made. I watched a little tv and felt exhausted so I went to sleep. 11:18PM

I woke up around 9. I had trouble sleeping and woke up with my headache from the night before. I got into the shower and had breakfast. By 10:35ish, Nick and I left to go to an open house for a potential job. It was actually pretty fun. One of the better ones I've been to. We first had breakfast, then built a mini pc, then had lunch and a tour, and then talked about some virtualization things, and then they gave out 22 free mini pc's that we had built. Nick won one! Yay. There were a lot of immature kids there, that were poorly dressed. It made us few kids from UVM look real good. It was pouring by the time we left outside and we drove to Nick's house to get him some nicer job-y clothes. We then drove to McDonalds because I was hungry. And then back to Nick's house because he forgot something else lol. And then back finally to the apartment. I then began a lot of my cheat sheet work for Tax. I got through quite a bit. I later cooked a pizza and we stayed in catching up on some DVR-ed tv. 11:15PM

I slept in till about 9 today. It's so nice to sleep in on Fridays. I got up, showered, had breakfast and then began my homework. When it became close to class, I gathered my last day of giving things to my Little and went up to campus. I had History and then after I walked over to my Little's dorm. Yay, another day where I wasn't found out. I left my pile of goodies and this time I found a surprise! She made something for me!! Awww. It's a bulletin board and on the edges she put ribbon on it and it's just so cute. How nice of her! I walked home with it and then relaxed. I watched all of my taped DVR recordings. I had missed so much over the past week and a half. I've been so occupied. I made some dinner and that's all. 8:45PM

I brought up some cupcakes with me as I went to class. Class was fine, a typical day. After class I walked over to my Little's dorm and decorated her room some more. Today it looks even cooler. It's pretty fun. I left and walked back to Kalkin. I got a snack from downstairs: cheetos and went up to the third floor to work on my Tax cheat sheet. I then went to Tax and we finished up the last chapter. I came home after and did even more homework. I worked till about 5:30. I then went back up to campus to have dinner with Natasha, a new member. She's so sweet and nice. We have a lot in common. We ate the Marche and it was nice having a pre-made meal lol. I definitely miss that. I came back home and did a little bit more homework until it was 8. We watched our Thursday night shows and I then I went right to bed. 8:40PM

I had 144 today and we went over more exam questions. Bleh. Then we finally got to some homework, but it was a long class. I went upstairs for AIS and that was a typical class too. After I came home because I had to get my goodies on my return to campus. After class I would go decorate my Little's room. But first I had lunch with Nick. I walked up for History. I found out my paper would be pushed back until Monday. That's nice. Then after I met Anna in the Davis Center. She would come with me this first day. I hadn't done much planning, but luckily she was gone and so was her roommate which also happens to be in the sorority, aka makes things complicated. I laid out my things and then we left. I came home and did a lot of homework. I started making pork chops later and also made cupcakes. I made the cupcakes all pretty and then watched tv. 8:35PM

I woke up 30 minutes earlier today so I could study for my 146 quiz. I had forgotten about it yesterday. We walked up to campus and we were in the lab today doing virtual things on the computers. The quiz went well and class was fine. I then went upstairs to the not so secret lab, although I wish it was. I did more of my cheat sheet for Tax. I also later found out in Tax that he was pushing the exam until the following Tuesday. Woohoo! After class I came home and wrote 4 pages of 6 of my History paper. It's good. Easier than I thought it would be. Later I walked to campus to the Davis Center to make care packages for the soldiers overseas. It was a sorority thing. After an hour, Emily drove us home. I then baked cookies and made mac and cheese for dinner. Yum. Nick and I watched a little tv. So at the end of October I sent in an application to the Humane Society here to volunteer, because I need to for the sorority. And I felt qualified, but hadn't heard back from them. But I searched in my spam and found a response. They want me, yay! But sadly the orientation is Saturday and I've got an open house then, so it has to wait until December, but that's still good news. 6:36PM

Monday. Nick and I hiked up the hill and it was strangely warm out. It even got to a high of 65. Very warm for November. I started with 144 where we went over our exam from last week. I beat Nick on the 2nd part! Woohoo. It's not that often I do that, so I'm proud. and I beat him by 7 points, woohoo. Then I ran upstairs for an outlet in AIS. We did more computery things. I then went to the Atrium for lunch. I got lemon and pepper chicken with rice and green beans. It was tasty. I ate it all. I then found a spot to plug my computer in and work on my cheat sheet for Tax. I then went to History class and it was a normal period in there. I walked home and I did some homework and then made dinner. We had spaghetti and meatballs, again, but it's so good. Then Nick and I went back up the hill for some meetings. First we had MIS club. Then at 7:30 I went upstairs to go to Accounting Club meeting. I came home just after 8 and we watched some tv, yay Monday shows. 6:32PM

I slept in a little more this day, but was still up early to do some stuff. As soon as we finished our morning routine and went to Price Chopper to do our weekly grocery shopping. We didn't spend much, very good. I got some candy, cookies and cupcake mix to bake for my little and then we came home. I did a bit more crafting, like touch ups. And then I was off to the laundromat. I did some reading there and then came back home. I did a little bit of homework, but at 5:30 I walked up to campus for my sorority meetings. Nick picked me up afterward and moo katie, the stuffed cow, was there to pick me up too. Cute. We watched our Sunday tv shows and then called it a night. 10:01PM

Let's see, I couldn't manage to sleep in today, but that's ok. We got up, got dressed, had a little breakfast. Then before noon we went out to do some fun errands. Nick's phone reminder went off about his fitting for a tuxedo. Nick's friend is getting married, and he's a groomsman. Meanwhile, I was in the Christmas Tree Shop to look for fun little cheap things. We found out our Little's on Friday and I needed to buy little gifty's. I found a lot of good things and then met up with Nick after he was done. That store was packed, so it took forever to check out. Then we went to Verizon so Nick could look at some new phones. Then we went to Michael's to look for some more crafty things. Nick got tired so he went to wait in the car lol. I ran into Sophie, Courtney, Sumeera, and Anja who were also shopping for their little's too. Nick and I left and came home. I then just had to craft and start putting things together. My stuff is turning our really nice. I love it. I wish I had some of this stuff for myself! Later that night Nick and I went out to Roque's for dinner, a romantic date night. We had a good time and beat the Saturday night crowd. I crafted a little more at home and then we watched some tv as we stayed in for the night. 9:40PM

I woke up around 8 and got ready, but this time it was for my senior portrait. Luckily I was having a good hair day. I hiked up to campus and untangled my hair when I finally got to the place. They placed in about 10 poses very quickly. Hopefully I got some good ones out of there. I then walked home and talked to mom. I started setting up my Japan paper by writing down pages and notes. I then had to hike back up to campus for History class. Back down I came after 50 minutes and just wasn't in the mood for homework, but I attempted some anyway. Later Nick and I made some pizza for dinner. We later walked down to Church St. He wanted to look at phones and I wanted to look at boots. nick ended up buying me some, as an early Christmas present. I love them. They are like more rugged Uggs. Here they are. I don't wear them on the outside of my pants anyway, plus that would look funny with these. I also wanted something with a little heal, but it couldn't be too outrageous since I've got to climb a hill everyday for class. So these will be a nice casual boot for everyday. We came home, dropped them off and then went over to Amy, Darby, and Eddy's place for the night. On the way home I ordered some Dominoes for a late night snack. And then the fluffy black and white kitty from a month ago showed up! I tried to rescue it, but it just didn't want to be. I was worried though, because it was like in the upper 20s that night. Hopefully it's ok. 11:30PM

Thursday. I woke up at 8 and got ready for class. I thought we were having a quiz today in 146, but not the case after all. We got out a little early and I went upstairs to copy down some Tax notes. I then went to Tax class and there was a much bigger turnout today then Tuesday. I came home after class and did my 146 homework and even more work. I made spaghetti and meatballs for dinner and when it was later we watched our Thursday night tv shows. 11:18PM

When I got to campus I had part 2 of my 144 exam. It was just SQL on the computer and it was hard. I felt rushed again, it sucked. I left after class and went upstairs for some AIS. We did more Dynamics learning. Then I wandered over to the Atrium for a little lunch. They didn't have anything good so I ate a cheeseburger and fries. I then read about 40 page of my Japan At War book, and I'm so close to finishing it now. I went over to History class and had, well, class. I walked home after and did my 144 homework, AIS and finally finished my book, yay! I made mac and cheese for dinner and I ate it all. Wowie. I did more homework until 10 and then I watched Nip/Tuck with Nick. I went to sleep shortly after that. 11:13PM

I woke up at 8 and got ready for class. I hiked up to class and started with 146. We learned more about IP addresses, complicated stuff. After class I went upstairs to copy down some notes that I got behind on in Tax when I was out sick last week. I then had Tax and like no one was there. I'm not sure if people are just skipping class or because they're sick. I feel like they are just skipping. I had to walk home in a light rain today. It was cold too. I got home and then did a lot of homework until 8. We had pasta roni and chicken for dinner and then we applied to a few jobs. We watched a few tv shows at night and then that was it. 9:59PM

I got up for classes on Monday. It was a little b it easier since it was a little bit brighter out. I walked up with Nick and we had our 144 midterm. It was good but he crammed 3 hours of material into just an hour and 15 minutes. Not enough time. I've never rushed so much. I then went to AIS and we learned more Dynamics stuff. I then went to Brennan's for lunch. I also met up with Sophie there. I left when it was time for History class. We talked about our book, Japan At War, it was a sad class. I walked home and then began my homework. I had a lot to do for my AIS. I had to catch up and then do the new stuff. I also worked on some other things and read a little. Nick and I made chicken and garlic rice a roni for dinner and watched our Monday night shows to relax. 11:06PM

I woke up and felt even better. My throat is now pretty much back to normal now, yay. I got in the shower and Nick and I had breakfast. We quickly went out to the grocery store because we had a lot of things to do - homework. Walking around the grocery store did make me tired, but I was fine. When we got home I rested and did my homework. I studied for 144 and did more reading of Japan At War. Later I drove up to the Davis Center for my sorority meetings. They were good, kinda long. We're doing big's and little's soon. I came home, had leftover pizza and made some oatmeal. We watched tv and called it a night. Since the time changed, it gets dark at 4:40 now. Too early! 11:12PM
