Yes, I am still alive!! -- These past few weeks have been almost entirely devoted to studying.... eew. -- Last Tuesday, I turned in 2 26-page papers, which was absolutely crazy! Since then, I have been giving presentations and studying for my exams, which are tomorrow (Finance) and Thursday (Trade). We will see how it all goes.... but they are going to be beasts.

Today, when my friend Jaclyn (from Oregon State University) and I were at the university studying for our finance test, we heard someone's cell phone vibrate on the table next to us. Then, their ring tone started...... and it was the Sir-Mix-A-Lot song, "I Like Big Butts." Jaclyn and I started dying laughing, and it definately lightened the finance mood a little! haha

I am coming home in 5 days, and I seriously feel like one of those little kids who still believes in Santa at Christmas. I think that this is going to be the most exciting and definately the most anticipated Christmas of my life!!! -- I can't wait! :)
