Right now I am sitting downstairs at the Welcome Center, working my last hour of the semester with my lovely Kristina. That's right, the fall semester is officially over on Thursday. I had my last day of classes last week, and I'm not going to lie... It was kind of sad. I got really close to a lot of my classmates because three of them were really small, discussion-based groups. One of my classes had nine people in it, one had fifteen people, and the third had around twenty students. All depended on the participation of each person to guide the course of the class, so we definitely got to know each other really well and were able to have really great class discussions. That is definitely one thing that I am so appreciative of at Suffolk: the emphasis on discussions rather than lectures in class; its so much more interesting. I'll be so excited to be free from the hectic schedule that I have going on now when break officially begins at 3pm on December 11 (after my last final)! Can't wait!

Emily and I were talking the other day about all of the awesome things we have to look forward to in December, and I decided to share my list here...

December is bringing us:
1.) Great joy!/Vacation!
2.) Sleep
3.) New York City (trip with Emily, Rich and our friend Brian)
4.) Winter Ball
5.) A social life
6.) Christmas
7.) a New Year

Thus far, we've only had the Winter Ball. It was on Friday night, and it was a lot of fun! I went with some friends (HEY KELLY, MELISSA and SHEENA!*shout out*) and my favorite roomie, and we had an absolute blast. I never usually dance because I'm so awful at it, but decided to get over myself and try it regardless of how badly I embarrass myself. I ended up having a great time and everyone looked so fabulous. It made me really sad to think that we only have one more ball left before graduation. We'll definitely live it up, though. : )

On that note, I'm going to wrap up this last blog of the semester. I wish everyone a fantastic holiday season, and I'll be back to update after the New Year. Happy December, everyone! See you in 2009! : )
