Blog 10- Christmas

Christmas is a time of the year where families can be together and just have a good time.  It is by far my favorite time of year.  All the snow, food, and presents are what I live for.  Also, being able to spend time with my whole family, is not only a treat for me, but it is almost always a funny experience that I will remember for a long time.  When Christmas comes around, I start to taste my mom's cooking, hear my uncles telling jokes, and feel the love in the air.  My favorite food on Christmas is my aunt's cheesy potatoes.  They are mouth watering and just absolutly delicious.  I only get them once a year so I always take full advantage of them.  A tradition my family and I always do around Christams time, is to put the tree up around the beginning of December.  On Christmas Eve, each of my brothers and I are allowed to open one present, but I always wait to open mine until Christmas day because to me, there are more presents that way and thats just what I like to do.  On Christmas day, after opening presents and eating a big breakfast, we all get dressed up and go to my Uncle Don's house to have Christmas dinner.  It is a great time to be with my family and I look forward to it every year. 

Week 9 Blog-First College Semester

With the first semester of my college career comeing to an end, I find myself relieved and glad it's over.  With hte semester ending, it means that we as students are about to go on Christmas break.  To me I couldn't be happier.  Christmas is my favorite time of the year.  Looking back on this semester in school, it has zipped by very fast, but that is definatly a good thing.  I met new people, made new friends, and even enjoyed a few of my classes.  The whole college experience is nice and all, but I truly believe it is over rated and too talked up.  I was told that college is supposed to be the time of your life, but so far it has just been the same old school for me.  Maybe it is because I don't get into the whole drinking thing, or maybe it's because I just simply don't take full advantage of it, but either way, college has not been what I thought it would be.  Hopefully next semester will be easier and flow better.  I almost have a full college semester under my belt, and i'm ready for next semest, but after break of course.  I'm very glad that I got the chance to meet new friends.  Hopefully I will continue to talk to them and keep in touch with them throught the rest of my college life, and in the future when we all have jobs and are living the lifes we hoped for.
