Marching on into December

So here I am attempting to study for psychology, only 2 quizzes & a test away from finishing this course, and what do I do... I fall asleep, sure it was only for twenty minutes, but before I fall asleep I'm reviewing the module in the textbook on motivation stress. How convenient that I fall asleep when reading about motivation, obviously they should have done something a little more exciting to keep me interested in this chapter, but apparently that was not there idea at all. So studying turned into sleeping, which turned into being woken by Jeremy (thank goodness) which turned into me creeping facebook, skyping Clarissa for an hour, and browsing my new favorite site-- thatawkwardmoment.net , to eventually blogging. Man I'm MOTIVATED:) Maybe a break for a bit was all I needed to get back into studying, and maybe pulling myself out of this amazingly comfy bed would do the trick, so here I am at my desk, uncomfortable chair, too bright of a light, and still... NOTHING!

So instead I went on stumbleupon and found some interesting stuff that lifted my spirits, days like today all I want to do is relax, but I have little time to do that because classes are officially finished in THREE DAYS, so that's only 3 days of classes left, 6 days of practicum left, and 16 days separating me from my family & Cleveland for Christmas- minus dad for now. Since the family is in Cleveland for the time being, the only person with health care is Mitch because mom & Dad are still covered with NS health, so if somebody gets sick, it's back to Canada they come, which is why I'm picking my wonderful father up from the airport Wednesday afternoon. Go figure things have been going okay compared to past months that something has to happen. Hopefully he's okay and the doctor finds nothing too serious wrong so he can make it back to the States for Christmas time. It would feel extremely weird having everyone there but dad. Florida is even in our minds as a Christmas escape to see Sienna, Samara, and Jeremy, which brings me to more exciting news. Samara & Jeremy are engaged:)! They've been together 6 years this past November 6th, and hopefully on their 7th year they will be tying the knot! That's one positive in a pile of negatives.

I'm looking forward to the weekend, Last class bash @ Acadia & since NSCC sucks & never does anything fun I'll celebrate with my girls in Wolfville for the night. Plus after a long day of practicum it'll be well worth it. Working Saturday night @ Cocoa Pesto, which I've had very few shifts at lately, which hurts the old bank account, and then some more relaxing bringing me into the next week.

My practicum has gone amazing so far this semester, and I'm really liking Wolfville Children's Centre and the multi age classroom's they have set up, I'm going to work part-time as a substitute when they need me, which is great for experience and because I just love being around children, who always seem to have so much joy.

Jeremy and I got our christmas tree all set up, after a great night of music yummy smells and lights we are all decked out for christmas, which is good since I'm leaving so soon. Now, the big task at hand is to get my family in Cleveland into the Christmas spirit, which I plan to do with baking, decorating, and loud annoying music as SOON as I arrive:)
