Exploring the infinte abyss: December 2008

Good Morning America!
I just got an email from good morning America as a confirm that we will be seeing the taping of the show the 17th when we are visiting NYC!!!!! I am going to the city for a night with Whit, and our friends Brian and Rich (fellow ambassador also... check out his and whits blogs!) We should have a ton of fun... whit and I decided to get two tickets to the show because the boys prob are not going to want to get up for the six thirty show.... so we will let them sleep and relax. I am getting really excited to go and see the big apple all decked out for the holidays. I am getting into the mood as we all relax and wind down after the semester and now that we have our tree up and what not. anyways, here are the updated photos i promised! Hope you all have a happy week.

Look how pretty we look at the Winter Ball... Me and Whit and Elissa (our other friend)

THIS IS OUR TREE!!! Its so beautiful and makes me happy when we are chilling in the living room/apt.

My sister, Whit and Me at the Christmas Tree field about to cut one down.... its harder than it looks or sounds. trust me.

Well... it's relaxation day! Its that time of the semester when things get hectic and everyone needs to relax! So program council puts on a lovely day of massages, arts and crafts and cookies/refreshments for any stressed students to enjoy! So Whit and I stopped on by, as we def have stress that can be relieved! We decorated our cookies, caught up with some friends over a cup of coco and relaxed for our FREE PROFESSIONAL MASSAGES! Now I feel all relaxed and ready to concur the world! (or at least my finals...)

As the week winds down I am getting excited for vacation, which is going to be wonderful! I just realized that I only have one day of classes left!!!! wow, it seems like the semester had been so long, yet looking back it feels like September still! My finals schedule next week is crazy, I have one Tuesday night and the other three spread out next Wednesday, which is going to be crazy overwhelming, but I feel confident in my ability to do well across the board. Lucky for me I have my dance final on Wednesday morning, which has been rehearsed so well that I hopefully will be just fine, not to mention that we are taking the written part this week, so nothing to really "study" next week, and my night exam is a presentation that I have been working very hard on, so I really only have to study for one big exam, which is really nice to know. As for the exam on Monday, it also may be challenging, but I will have all weekend and Monday to prepare for that, not to mention an extra study session Monday night! I am looking forward to relaxing this weekend a little with the Winter Ball!

At the end of Every Semester PC puts on this AMAZING ball ( either winter or spring ) at some fancy hotel, where you can enjoy a night of dinner and dancing! Whit and I are looking forward to getting all dressed up and putting our dancing shoes on for this night of fun and friends!! I was lucky enough to plan them last year, and held mine at the Seaport Hotel in the Winter and Fairmont Copley in the Spring ( which was my dream location!) As much as I loved planning them, I am looking forward to being able to go and enjoy the event as just a guest! I will blog after and update you on how everything went after, but here are some pictures from last year. Its really a great opportunity to be able to get all dressed up and experience some fancy dinner with your favorite people at the end of the semester.

What else is going on?.... oh! I am looking forward to getting a Christmas tree! My roommate and I are going to put a little one in the apt, seeing how we will both be here for most of the month and its just not the holidays without one! and we can decorate it and watch holiday movies and drink hot cider and coco... and maybe even make cookies! Oh! I am getting all excited!
