There's no place like (the library) for the holidays

Ahh...it's that time of year again...finals, woohooooo!

Since the last time I've posted I had my last official week of classes of fall semester, junior year..I can't tell if I'm happy or sad that they are over...realistically, I'm pretty happy, but I'd honestly rather still be in the classes than just studying for their finals.

This week has consisted of preparing for my 5 finals. This is the first time in 5 semesters at Lehigh that I am actually taking 5 finals, 2 of which are cumulative. I took the first one for my psych class two days ago, and I'm glad I did it, because if all goes well, I will have bumped my A- into an A in the class! That will definitely give my GPA a little extra help!

I am NOT looking forward to the next 3 days of exams. I have my cumulative intermediate accounting on Friday, my law exam Saturday, and my cumulative cost accounting exam on Sunday. It seems like a lot, and I am a little stressed and overwhelmed, but since there are no classes this week, I literally have ALL DAY to spend studying for the various tests at my own pace. I'm working hard and hoping for the best, and will be super relieved when I take my final final (ha) on Tuesday.

As usual, I've somehow managed to accumulate more stuff than even imaginable in my room throughout the course of the semester. As it did take me two car loads to move in, I'm expecting it to take me 3 carloads to move out, so I've already packed up a lot of clothes and other misc. items and taken one load home. Since I'm going abroad next semester (and NINE other girls from my sorority are going abroad too!), everyone is switching rooms within the house and therefore I have to take everything home (down to my curtains and posters and everything else..). It's definitely sad to see my room slowly disassemble, and even more sad to think that I won't ever live in the sorority house again (I have a lease for an off-campus house for senior year). This is the last few days that I have living with my roommate Steph, and we're both unhappy with the thought of being apart next semester that we don't even like to talk about it :(

Whenever I get sad about leaving, I just remind myself of what I'm getting myself into next semester...the experience of a lifetime! Good things fall apart so better things can fall together, and I know I'm going to have the time of my life next semester. Sure, I'm definitely going to miss my friends and my family and my boyfriend while I'm gone, but that's what Skype and letters are for! Maybe if they're lucky I'll bring home a few souvenirs..just maybe ;-)

But less I digress, I must get going..I want to be down in the library studying all morning and afternoon so I am free to watch The Office (best show ever!) on TV tonight. Good luck with all your senior year classes and finals, and Happy (early) Holidays!
