Christmas Countdown

Well, Thanksgiving has come and gone (as we all well know!!) and now the countdown to Christmas has begun. I love the Christmas music that plays and all of the memories that I have from this time of year. It’s just a special time! Now that I live so far away from my family, the end of Thanksgiving, for me, signifies the countdown to when I’ll get to see them again!! Yay! :) Yes, it IS a special time of year! :)

I hope that all of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I had a spectacular time and really enjoyed my four full days off of work! :) Now it's back to work and back to reality. However, what's nice is that this is my last week of class for one of my classes! Yay! :) I'll finish up my other class on the 15th. After that, I'll go home for Christmas and will relish the break because after it's over, the work will really begin. Why? Because I'm hoping to finish my bachelor's degree in May 2011!!!!! That was not what I had originally planned, but some newly acquired information allowed me to work things out so that I can finish in four more semesters! YAY!!! I'm planning to take three classes every semester (which will be a lot!), but it's a schedule that I think is managable, so keep your fingers crossed that it goes well! :) If I do end up deciding that it's just too much to take so many courses in a semester while also working full time, then I'll go to my back-up plan and graduate in May 2012. That plan just lets me lighten the courseload a little bit for each semester.

So, there's lots to think about for the upcoming year, but I'm excited just knowing that the end is in sight in regards to school. How can a person NOT get excited about that!! :)

I need to get back to work, so I'll let this be all for now. Take care and have a wonderful week! :)
