Twas The Night Before Finals

Tomorrow is the start of yet another round of finals! Excited am I not!!!! My first exam is scheduled for 2:30 tomorrow afternoon-substance abuse and addictive behavior. After that I have obesity and weight management, worksite health promotion, exercise physiology, and statistics to take. Its my second to last semester and I'm wondering why I still have 5 finals. What the crap!?! Most people have less finals when they're nearing the end of their degree...I want to be one of those people! Boy am I ready to finish this 17.5 credit semester!!!! But I am that much closer to a college diploma!

I went to Miss Tara's bridal shower yesterday....what a pretty bride she'll be and what a way to start the New Year getting married on New Year's Eve! It was great to see all my arch-house girls again...minus a few due to missions and living in other countires! In the meanwhile...Cole was coaching his girls to their first victory. I was bummed to miss it but pretty stoked for them. I get a little into the games...who would have known!?
I locked myself out of our apartment on Friday- which incidentally means I locked myself out of my car. Mind you....I am NEVER this forgetful...but this is the second time I've done this! Cole just laughed when I told him. So I walked to his school to get his keys- its only a few blocks- and when I was checking in at the office, there was a student sitting by me and a teacher came in and said "What are you two doing in the office?" Nevermind the fact I have a wedding ring and am nearly done with college! Psssssh! And then later that night- I was watching Cole's basketball game and one of the parents asked me which one was my daughter. Ouch! But I'm confused as to if I look like I HAVE a fourteen-year-old or if I look LIKE a fourteen-year-old. Curious Predicament!

And then we went Christmas shopping! Usually...I'm done with Christmas shopping by this time- I plan ahead, okay! But Cole is so hard to shop for....well kinda. Really all he wants is tools and I just think thats lame so I try to think of other exciting things. I've got nothin....so he's getting tools! Haha.

Well...I have conveniently forgot about finals for long enough. I better get back to it!!!

T'was The Night Before Finals

Twas the night before finals, and all through the college,
The students were praying for last minute knowledge.
Their projects were finished, completed with care
In the hopes that the grades would be easy (and fair)

Most were quite sleepy, But none touched their beds,
While visions of essays danced in their heads.
With piles of books and a brand new highlighter,
I had just settled down for another all-nighter
My roommate was speechless, his nose in his books,
And my comments to him drew unfriendly looks.
I drained all the coffee, and brewed a new pot,
No longer caring that my nerves were now shot.
I stared at my notes, But my thoughts were muddy,
My eyes went ablur, I just couldn't study.
"Some pizza might help,"I said with a shiver,
But each place I called refused to deliver.

I'd nearly concluded that life was too cruel,
With futures depending on grades had in school.
When all of a sudden, our door opened wide,
And Patron Saint Put-It-Off ambled inside.
His spirit was careless, his manner was mellow,
He started to bellow: "What kind of student
Would make such a fuss,to toss back at teachers
What they tossed at us?"

"On Cliff Notes! On Crib Notes! On last year's exams!
On Wingit and Slingit, and last minute crams!"
His message delivered, he vanished from sight,
But we heard him laughing outside in the night.
"Your teachers have pegged you, so just do your best.
Happy Finals to All, And to All, a good test."
