I SURVIVED MY FIRST SEMESTER OF GRAD SCHOOL! I came out alive, more educated, and more pleased with myself. I learned a ton, and I'm grateful for the experiences I had and the many new friends I made. My school is filled with awesome people, and I'm happy that towards the end of the semester I was able to get to know a lot of them better.
Now I'm just waiting on my grades. I am the WORST when it comes to this. I refresh the page every two seconds and hope to see something. The sites are pulled up on my phone so that I can check wherever I am. To those with the self-control to keep themselves from checking until after Christmas/New Years: I commend you, but how the hell can you deal with the suspense?!
The Thursday before finals began my roommate and I threw a little holiday soiree at my apartment. I say little, but I believe over 40 people from school were squeezed in at one point. I LOVE throwing parties. I prefer to throw them than attend them. All things festive excite me. For example, my annual weenie wreath:

I like playing host. Maybe it's something about knowing you created the guest list and don't have to deal with people you don't want to see there. Plus, Christmas parties give me a reason to throw on a pair of antlers. We all know how I love hats.

Antlers-Target ;)
At one point I came out of my room and 20 people were doing the electric slide so I'd say it was a success....I guess boxed wine really brings out your inner line dancer.
Here are a couple random things I wore through exams week. I was not looking too hot by Thursday night....between the lack of sleep, stress, minimal physical activity, terrible eating, and thrown off schedule I successfully put on my winter layer. Thank God, it's going to be a cold one. Need a a little tubb to get me through.

These awesome green pants were only $10.00 at Annie Sez!
This last outfit was worn out to Philly--the whole school went to the same bar to celebrate being done with finals. My wallet was stolen. I wish they had taken all of my money instead of my license. I would pay to not have to go to the DMV. I also ended the night with a cheese burger AND mozzarella sticks...at 4 am. Because that was necessary.
I am now home at last, spending time with my family, and getting into the Christmas spirit. There is no sleep like post-finals sleep and I'm loving it.
Off to go buy some wrapping paper!
