Not Much to Do!

Finally! I have a week where I don't have a lot to do. I have minimal assignments due this week and a few classes are being canceled! This is going to be a much needed break. Well, it won't really be a "break" but I will have more time to rest, study and just relax.

Last Wednesday, I meet with my Little for the first time. I took her to Applebee's. We had a good time and she told me about the types of things she likes to do and a bit about her family life. She seems like a good kid. I'm ready for more visits!

This weekend was really relaxing. I got a lot of sleep and some important homework done. Friday afternoon I voted for the first time! It was exciting! I thought I would have to wait in extremely long lines but I only waited a few minutes. I'm proud of my "I voted" sticker (ha)! I didn't do anything major for Halloween, which is unusual for me, but I enjoyed my relaxation time. I went shopping with my family and got a few new clothing items and a new winter coat! This rest was much needed! I haven't had a lot of time for myself recently so it was good to just lay down and watch a movie.

I got my Spanish test results back. I did better on the last test than I did with this one. I'm still maintaining a C in this class but it's really frustrating. It's one of those situations where you try so hard and still seem like a failure! I was really discouraged for the rest of class today after I looked at my test grade. I thought "what's the point of even showing up when I'm still not passing test." It's also bad when I'm paying for a tutor who doesn't help me either. It's almost as if I'm paying to fail. I can't wait for this class to be over!!

Tonight, we're having an Obama party on campus. I'm excited!! It saddens me to hear of the loss of Obama's grandmother but I'm excited for the election tomorrow. This is such a big event, bigger than previous elections!

Tomorrow night, we're having a watch party on campus until about 8:30. It should be fun. I'll take some pictures and let you know how it goes!
