Final Grades for Fall!

Turns out I did a lot better in Biology than I thought, I ended up with a B! In Philosophy and English I got A-'s, which I'm happy with. So that brings my overall GPA up to 3.2!

I'm starting my house-sitting job on Saturday, and then I'll have internet more frequently, so I'm excited for that!

I got financial aid stuff figured out finally. Turns out I was missing some obscure form, but I have it now, and Dad and I just have to fill out a worksheet, turn in some tax forms, and then if the school has any awards left for this year I may get something for Spring Quarter! I doubt that will happen though since they usually give out awards at the beginning of the school year. But we shall see. And then Dad and I will fill out the FAFSA again in February, get it in by March, and do this tax form stuff all over again to hopefully get some financial aid for next school year.

Poor Loren got his wisdom teeth pulled yesterday morning and apparently he bled like crazy all day. Ick, I'm so glad I got that over with.

Anywho, I'm going to go home now and make hot cocoa with peppermint tea in it :)

Finals and break and stuff

My biology final is today. I'm nervous for it even though I studied a ton, but I guess we'll just have to see what happens... Then on Tuesday I have my English final which will be easy because all we have to do is hand in a portfolio and read 5 minutes from something we wrote. But then also on Tuesday I have my Philosophy final. That's the one I'm most nervous for because it's cumulative and I don't remember all the stuff we did at the beginning of the year! There's going to be a lot of different material on that test, so it's hard to study for.

Anywho, then after that final I'm going to be coming home for winter break! I can't wait! I'm going to be housesitting for one of mom's friends from the 18th to the new year. At first I didn't want to do it because I'll be alone in a house watching over 2 horses, 2 cats, and 2 dogs. But now I do want to because I read The Way of the Peaceful Warrior and I'm excited now to just sit around and meditate and think and not be around too many people.

My friend is having a holiday party at her house on the 19th, and that's probably what I'm most looking forward to about the break (yeah that contradicts what I just said about being by myself a lot). I'm mostly excited for it because she wants everyone to dress up for it and I have this awesome dress that I got last year that I've only worn once because we never dress up for anything around here in Ellensburg!

CrockPot!

Today I made delicious chicken tortilla soup in the good ol' crock pot! Someone remind me please to make soups in it more often!
