Finals...

So I probably should be studying right now but instead I find myself blogging...something that I struggle doing on a consistent basis. Apparently I am really stalling the whole studying thing. I will make this blog short. As you may know finals are next week. Six of them. Yes, six finals in the space of five days. The testing center is open 14 hours a day for five days. That's seventy hours that I have to take those finals. That means I need to be taking a final approximately every eleven hours and forty minutes that the testing center is open or, if you include the ten hours a day that the testing center is closed I need to take a final every twenty hours. Hmmmm...I'm not sure if that makes me feel better or worse about this week. I guess I'll let you know come Friday night. Hopefully I'm still alive, breathing, and sane. To be continued...

Pumpkins, Candy, and the Modern Stone Age Family...

Wow - I can't believe it's already November. It seems like time just flies! Halloween was awesome last night! We started out the night carving pumpkins (finally...they've been sitting in our apartment for quite some time now!) Unfortunately we only had about a half hour to carve because we had to get our costumes ready.

Jeff and Brian came over and about an hour later we finally had our costumes all ready and we were ready to go!

Yes - that is me, Courtney and Nichelle. :)

The whole gang - From Fred right on down to Dino. It was so much fun with all of us. It took a little to talk Jeff and Brian into it, but I'm so glad they did. I can't remember the last time that I actually got to spend Halloween with my brothers and it wouldn't have been the same without them. We got quite a few comments from people who saw us all together. And if I do say so myself we did a pretty good job with the costumes. My mom made Fred, Barney, and Dino, but we put the others together all by ourselves. It was a great group effort and definitely a Halloween I won't forget.
