Unexpected Delightful Surprises

This past week has been superbly wonderful! One of my best friends came home from being in another country for years... Also, we had our church christmas concert on Saturday. Which is great because it means no more practices!!!

Usually I am not this happy during finals week. However, I have been quite lucky so far. I got excused from a final! It was for History of the Philippines. All day I had been contemplating whether to study or not for this final, and chose not to, lol. I really wasn't feeling it. The hour before the final I started to become extremely worried and wish I would have studied. I showed up for the final and waited while our professor took attendance. When he called my name he noticed I had no absences. He asked if I had been taking notes and I said yes. He then asked to see my notebooks. He looked through them, seeing what I had written. He told me I took good notes and saw I was taking this class seriously. He then handed me the final and told me to go home. Really?!?!! I was shocked! He repeated himself, "Please go home." WOW!!!! what an amazing surprise!!!!! In the car I took a look at the final... and oh my... I would not have done well if I took it.

Then for my Human Biology final, all the multiple choice questions had the answers highlighted! Somehow they made a mistake while printing our exams... Our teacher simply said it was too late to do anything and "Merry Christmas!" lol... he joked that now some of us actually had a chance to pass now... and that if we did bad on the final we needed to seek professional help, lol....

I will not push my luck and will take my last final seriously. It is on Friday, which gives me a good amount of time to study. It is an essay type test where I will have to write atleast 2 essays... so I really need to prepare for that. (U.S. History)

On another note, I made 3 buntings last week. My little sister said she would like this year's christmas decorations to be in pink, white, silver, etc. So I did "peace", "joy", and "love" in some pink and white materials I had from previous projects. First time making these, next time I won't space them out as much and make the letters centered better... Oh well...


I also made this brush roll kit for my friend...

  1. You're so cool darlin :) creative, smart, fun, and....lucky! hhahhaha no but if you did have to take those finals I think you would've done alright, especially for the human biology class. You deserve a break cuz you've worked pretty hard this quarter I mean semester, and what better time for a break than finals week!
