Madeleine leaves for Cedar Falls tonight. I'm going to pick up some dinner for her and check out to see if the children's bookstore is still open so I hope I don't forget. Madeleine still needs to buy another present for her foster brother. I'm just trying to help.

I guess I need to start packing. I can't forget my brother's christmas present either. OH MAN...I still have things to remember. I just want to shut my brain down for awhile. I hope I'm able to do that this break.

I'm not too worried about how my tests turned out. I know I'll probably get 2 C's, but I already knew that for awhile and now I'm not shocked or anything about that. And if for some rare occurence that I happen to get a D in statistics, I'll just retake the class in the summer. Yeah it won't be fun, and I don't think it will happen (I'll probably get a C with the curve) but I think in the end it would be worth it if that happened. You know it's easy to say now, but I just know that I'm going to be a lot better next semester. It's going to be fun. No more classes where I'm going to struggle to stay ahead. I'm going to learn something and have fun learning it at the same time and take pride at the end in my work. That's what college is all about anyway. I'm not experiencing that this semester. I will next time around...

Oh yeah. Christmas is in 4 days. I still need to buy more presents. Well, thats what finals can do to you.

Thanks finals!
