It's finally over... I took my last two finals today and I am finished with fall semester 2008 :D So now I am officially on Christmas Break although it feels more like it should be spring break outside... once again, good ol Kentucky weather. I have some things to do for grad school, but I'm not touching any of it for at least a week. I have a very busy weekend planned, starting with the end-of-semester celebration that Amanda and I have after every semester. It use to be end-of-semester celebration for non-alcoholics, but we're 21 now lol So I am going to listen to some more of Robert Pattinson (seriously... can't get enough of it!) and relax before getting ready for a night one the town :D

Go Figure.
Last night, Lexington was covered in a beautiful blanket of snow (and a not-so-pretty layer of ice). Kentucky weather is absolutely insane because yesterday morning I was outside in a hoodie and perfectly comfortable, only to wake up this morning to two inches of snow and ice! It's crazy, but totally expected.
Anyway, all of this snow would be perfect for the week before Christmas, except for one little thing: Finals. It is finals week at good ol UK, and lucky me had one at 1 (although I feel much luckier than those that had one at 8 or 10:30 this morning). UK didn't cancel finals for today, because, well, that would just make too much sense. Instead, we get this nice little message on the website telling us to be careful and that campus and nearby sidewalks may be "hazardous." I mean, seriously? You would think that a University would want to take a little better care of its students, especially since without us there would be no money... just a thought.
Oh well....
So I left my nice warm apartment an hour and a half early to give myself time to clean off my car and make it to campus. It took me half an hour just to uncover my car! Once that was done (Thanks a lot Matthew for helping out..... I know that watching from the patio window must have been exhausting!!! lol), it took me all of 10 minutes to make it to campus. My exam only took 20 minutes, so I actually spent more time cleaning off my car than taking my exam. Of course.
So now I'm back at home. I have nothing to do for the rest of the day since all of my Frankfort activities have been rescheduled. Apparently they got it worse than we did. Good old Kentucky weather.

Victory is mine!
So I have been stressing out practically all weekend. I had a test and a paper due today, and just couldn't really find the time or will power for either of them. After staying up late last night, and using my first class to study for my test, I have completed both. My test was a lot easier than I thought it would be, and my professor put the answer keys outside the door so we could look at them after we turned our test in. I only missed two, which gives me a 96 on the test! How very exciting!!! I also turned my paper in. I feel about 20 pounds lighter now! I still have a test tomorrow, but it is all I have so I can focus solely on it.
On a different note, Amanda and I witnessed something quite interesting today. We were walking to the student center for lunch when we noticed a group of maintenance guys standing around with a water hose. We thought they were watering flowers, until we got a little closer. They were watering.... are you ready for it?.... a sign. Apparently it was thirsty.... My tuition money is going to watering a post!
Last but not least, it is Wednesday so therefore I have the crime report. There were exactly 10 cases of alcohol intoxication and/or drug/marijuana use. There were also 7 cases of theft. What really got me this week was two cases of mulch fires, and once attempted fire. My guess is that a careless smoker is to blame for the mulch fires (but two in one week? How weird is that?) and an attempted fire from the bus shelter at K Lot (I guess the people were cold...... in 85 degree weather????).
