I am so thankful that this and last week are over. I am also glad that I finished all four of my tests this week. I feel like I can relax a little more, even though I still have a lot to do. The past week has been a blur, because all I did was sleep, study, read, and eat. At least, this weekend I can enjoy not having to study for any tests!
Next week, I will meet with my advisor to see what classes I need to register for. Then on Thursday at my designated time, I have to register for spring semster online. This is exciting, because I get to try different classes and have a new schedule.
It has been cold up here. The temperature varies from forty to twenty some degrees. The trees all had leaves on them not too long ago, but now they are almost gone. I am looking forward to going home for Thanksgiving break, which is only two weeks ago. Then, I get to enjoy some of the hot weather and beautiful sunshine in Florida.

This week’s focus was on registering for classes, which can be a big deal. Being a transfer student made this process more stressful, because I have to take certain classes so that I can graduate in 2009. I met with my advisor on Monday to go over the different classes that I need to take for the next three years. Then, it was time for me to do my homework and create a schedule for spring semester. I was very thankful that I went to the training session, which showed you how to register for classes online. I thought that registering for classes would be very easy, but it was not as easy as I thought it would be. One of the classes that I wanted to take was full by the time I was able to register. Also, I did not realize that some of my classes had restrictions. I spent about three hours on Thursday searching for the right signatures that I needed for classes and talking to the registrar about my schedule. Finally, I got my schedule set for spring semester, which is a big relief.
Also, this week I thought that I would start decorating for Christmas. When I get back from Thanksgiving break, there will only be two weeks left until Christmas break. So, I decorated a Christmas tree in my dorm room. Now, I am in the mood for Christmas and I cannot wait to go home for break.

The week before Thanksgiving break I finished all of my homework that was due. Then, I relaxed for the rest of the week. It can be so hard to remain focused when I know that I am going home for break. It was wonderful to go home. I saw many people I knew and was able to spend more time with them. My highlight of the week was spending time with my parents and friend from my old school. I had a great time and was able to take a break from school. I have to admit that I worked on some homework. Here are some pictures from my trip to Lion Country Safari in Florida. My family and my friend went with me to see the park.
