BREAK!
Finals are all done :)...with the exception of one take home theology final for Dr.Wall that I am going to fax from Kalamazoo Monday morning after I go to the dentist. I have a huge pile of books to return to the library and really can't wait to see them go. Also gotta pack, run downtown for last mintute gifts, etc. Aye. Lots to do today! My plane leaves tomorrow at 10:03am Pacific time. I have a three hour layover in O'Hare and then a twenty minute puddle jump over Lake Michigan to arrive in Kalamazoo at 8:29pm. Sondra is picking me up at 7:30 in the morning. We're going to Starbuck's before she takes me to the airport. I'm excited to get away from campus. I LOVE Seattle, but I am so sick of school right now it's unbelievable. My brain is so fried that Monday I tried to turn in my ten page paper on The Brothers Karamazov to my theology prof. He just looked at me funny and finally said "Val, this paper is for Dr. Thorpe. His office is across campus." Yeah, I had to laugh at myself for that one! Next quarter is looking so good. And I am thrilled to be going back to the good ol' Midwest for a change of pace, hopefully a little snow, and catching up with my dear friends and Ranch Rats. Yay for going to the Midwest! My World Lit prof described the Midwest as "suffocating" the other day, and after thinking about it, I'd have to agree that at times it is indeed suffocating. But I couldn't imagine having Christmas anywhere else and I look forward to traditions, church, etc.
Well, I best be getting to more errands. I haven't even begun to think about packing. I need to get everything done so I can go say goodbye to people at a party tonight..yay for parties and good friends :) (I'm in a really good mood right now)
