Oh my goodness! It is sooooo cold here!
It's only November 7th, and we have already had the temps drop below freezing during the day AND we had a call for snow!
I heard some people talking about how they saw the snow, but I was probably sleeping while it happened :P
This week has gone by surprisingly fast.
Wednesday is almost over already, and I only have 9 days left until I get to go back home for the break.
I'm incredibly excited :D
Of course, after being home for a day, I'm going to be sick of it and wonder why I wanted to come back in the first place :p
But oh well, I'll just be happy to be back in my own room, by myself, knowing I can go to the bathroom in private, take an actual bath, and not have to hear yelling or stomping :)
I'll get to eat REAL food, and sleep in until lunch time!
AND, I'll get to start decorating for Christmas :D
I love love love to decorate!
I just can't wait!
It's kind of sad though that I won't be home for most of December though :(
I guess we'll just be doing a lot of decorating during the break week, and the week I come back!
Well, it's cold, so I'm going to snuggle under the blanket :)

This Saturday was such a good day for me, one of the best in while actually.
My parents and brother drove up to visit me for the day :)
It was a beautiful day outside, not too cold but not hot either, and the sun was shining with no clouds in sight.

I woke up only 20 minutes before my family arrived, and found out that my hair dried over night into a giant poof -_-
I had pinned it up to get some wavy curls like i've done many times before, only this time when I took all my hair down it was poofed out to the max - and i was not walking out of the dorm looking that that!
So I grabbed a towel, ran into the shower room, and wet my hair down the best i could without getting my clothing soaked.
By the time I was done, my parents had already gotten there, so i had like 2 minutes to dry my hair (or atleast attempt to)
Luckily my hair dried in the car, and looked pretty decent :)
We all went to Walmart, where I stocked up on groceries to last me for at least 2 weeks.
Then, we went to look at the Christmas stuff!
If you didn't already know, I LOVE CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!
It makes me so happy to see all of the decorations :)
They were even playing Christmas music in the store, which I thought seemed a bit too early, but I don't really mind because I love Christmas music too :D
Then we went over to Target :)
They had tons of cute hello kitty stocking stuffers! Yay Hello Kitty!
My brother bought his iPod, and then we all checked out the x-mas stuff they had too.
Target has some very cool Christmas stuff!
My dad actually found a few things he wanted to buy, which was so out of character for him!
In the past, he's never really been into decorating and we basically had to force him to put up lights in the house, and he wasn't big on Christmas music either.
BUT, while we were at target, he found a train that he wants to come back and buy, as well as some new lights.
And, my mom said he wants to buy a new stereo for the Holidays, so we can listen to Christmas music!
She also said he wants me to pick out where the tree goes.
Normally, the tree goes wherever it will be out of the way and easiest to put.
He's definitely changing, and for the better i must add :)

I'm so excited for the break, I really am!
Only 2 more weeks, and I get to go home :)
I've never been this excited for Thanksgiving in my life!

Today is November 1st, and Halloween in officially over and done with
That means Thanksgiving is coming up next!
I'm ready to decorate my door now ^-^
While everyone else went out last night, I stayed in and made a turkey from construction paper to put out on the door
I'm not sure what else I'll make to decorate, but i'm sure i'll think of something cute :)
It's pretty chilly out side, but it feels nice.
It's not freezing cold, but it's not exactly warm, so it's a nice medium.
I only have my tutoring session to go to , and then I'm done for day.
Well, I'm not really going to be done... I still need to start studying for my anthro. exam next tuesday.
I've had an exam every week since the beginning of October, and it won't end until thanksgiving break, so only 2 more to go!!! yay!

I'm currently sitting outside at Woodburn circle, typing this up.
It's actually quite nice outside, with a cool breeze blowing every now and then.
I'm normally not one to spend a lot of time outside, but because it is much cooler outside than in my dorm room, I'm enjoying the weather.
I honestly cannot wait until the fall weather starts.
I can't even begin to explain how much I hate the heat.
I work up a sweat just walking to and from class - because it's so hot!!!
Then after I get to the room, instead of walking into cool air conditioning like everyone else, I walk into an oven thats hotter than outside.
Thank god for the invention of fans - because even though it's only hot air blowing on me, it makes life a little bit easier.

Is anyone else ready for the holidays?
I am!!!
The other day when I went down to dollar general, I saw that they were starting to put out the halloween stuff :)
To be completely honest, Halloween isn't my fav holiday.
For me, it's basically marking the start of the holiday season, because right after halloween comes thanksgiving, and after that comes Christmas :)
I CANNOT WAIT TO GO HOME!!!!

Speaking of Christmas... That is my absolute favorite holiday!
Not because of gifts, it's because of the atmosphere that Christmas brings on.
Everyone around becomes so happy when Christmas season comes around.
I love seeing all of the decorations, and everything lit up :)
I'm already planning what I'm going to do in the dorm room.
I hope Nikki doesn't mind too much :p
I know I'm putting up my small christmas tree, but I also want to put some xmas lights up somewhere (maybe the window) and also decorate the door.
Oh! Stockings too!!!
Maybe our side of the hall should have a christmas party before everyone leaves for break!
So many things to do, I can't wait :) I'm so excited!!!
Now I want to listen to Christmas music... I think I will :p
I know, I'm crazy.
So many people hate christmas music, but I personally love it.
Hate me or love me, that's who I am!
