{End of the semester}

Part of me would like to think that you, my faithful readers, have been severely depressed that I haven't posted since December 13. I would like to think that you were sitting at your computer eagerly awaiting my next post.

But let's be realistic - that wasn't happening. I'm sure all of you were just as busy as I was over finals and this holiday season. Due to my lack of blogging there will be a lot of catch up posts over the next week or so.

Let me start by talking about the end of the semester. The Husband and I were SWAMPED - completely swamped for the last few weeks of school. I was taking 18 credit hours (max amount) and Husband was taking some of the hardest classes for his major so we were pretty busy. I life consisted of waking up early, going to school, going to work, and studying in the library/at home til the wee hours of the morning and starting it all over again the next day. We both a couple huge research papers and lots of finals - but we finished, barely. I took my last final online about 5 hours before we flew to TX for the break.

It was a crazy semester but I thoroughly enjoyed most of it.

Now....not to toot my own horn or anything.....well, let's be honest, I'm going to, but just for a little bit. I got my highest GPA so far this last semester. Hooray to me!!! That was amazing to me since I was taking 18 credit hours! I thought I would die. Well, I guess I thrive under pressure. I was tempted to take another 18 this semester just to have similar results, but that lasted all of about half a second. To top that all of I received a 1/2 tuition scholarship for my last semester!! HOORAY! During my first year of school I had some music scholarships but once I changed my major those were gone and I wasn't sure if I'd see any more. Well - happy surprise - I did! Anyways, that's enough tooting the horn for now.....

So long story short it was a good semester that nearly killed us but we made it out alive!!
