half way through!!

So, I am halfway through my sophomore year. I am now on my christmas break and enjoying every minute of it. I have an entire month off! So, to recap the semester, I did very well. I was very pleased with my grades and the effort I put into my classes. At the beginning of the semester I didn't realize that taking 18 hours was going to be so hard. Halfway through, I realized that I needed to step it into high gear. I began putting more hours into my studying while also trying to balance the school work, friends, and coming home. Aside from coming home the few weekends for Trunk or Treat, a hunting break, and the occasional visit home, I didn't rush home every chance I had. I have made a lot of friends who keep me company while I am at school. I have a new friend and roommate Shelley who keeps me very busy and occupied, as do my other friends. Which is why I had to stay just one more day at school and spent another night with my friends before we separated for a month!
As far as next semester, I haven't registered for my classes but I need to do it soon. I know the classes I will be taking, I just need to sign up before they are full. I am hoping I can be out of school by my fourth year even if that means taking some online classes...
There is always the question about boys too. No new boyfriends, just potentials is all. They are too much trouble and way too much work. I have more important things to worry about...
Unfortunately, I'm not quite ready for Christmas. I still have some shopping left to do, but I am making most of the gifts so that always makes it easier on a college student. Maybe some popsicle birdhouses, who knows? Well, that's it for now. Check back later for an update.
