It’s amazing when things come to an end and you don’t feel like you’ve ever been in them at all. This first semester is ending and I feel like I’ve never been a college student for this long. I want break to start…NOW! I need to be writing 3 papers that are due tomorrow but I’m finding myself doing my normal routine. Checking my email, checking facebook, myspace…trying to chat with Craig I’m also check Plurk which is brand new to me. I can’t wait until Saturday because I’m getting on a plane and heading to Belfast soon after to be in Edinburgh with Craig on break. I can’t really get the next few days out of my head and I’ve found myself sleeping and having dreams where I got all my school work done, I won 1million dollars and break was started already.  I’m wondering what I’ll wear on Monday and I’m wondering if my life will be the same in the Spring when i come back to Hamline.

Today I informed my boss at Sorin Dining Hall that I would not be back for Winter Break and J-Term. He told me that I’d be missed and he wished me a great break if he didn’t get a chance to see me again. Now that I think about it, this is the last day that I’ll have to wash tables at Sorin hall in a MONTH AND A HALF! I’m practically quitting my job after this and I’ll have no steady/unsteady income for the rest of December until February…now I’m kinda worried about money. I hope most of my early Christmas presents this year are money. I don’t want to be a total burden on Craig’s bank account.

Gosh i can’t stop daydreaming! What will Scotland be like? Will I like Mince pie? How will my semester grades be? Did my missing my last orchestra concert make me flunk out of the class? Will my having quit qym mess with my GPA? Can I breath easy after my Calc final tomorrow? Will Craig’s family like my Christmas presents or should I spend my 18th buying them all new ones? Oh I’m so nervous!
