Finals time

Contrary to how it might seem, if I haven't posted for a few days, its not because there is nothing going on and I don't have anything to say, its the exact opposite. (You should know that I never run out of things to say!) It actually means that I'm so busy I haven't had time to get on the computer and write it all down. So, here is a quick run-down of what The last few days in my life have been like.
FRIDAY- I went to the main campus for a regional campus representative meeting and while I was in Logan I ran a few errands. I got home about 4:00, changed clothes and checked in with my kids before leaving for the Brigham campus with my Hubby for the staff and faculty Christmas party. The food was done by USU's catering so of course it was wonderful. After the party I had a class at 8:00 and I had to do my final presentation. I actually don't mind doing presentations, I think they are kind of fun, but since I had been running all day I hadn't had time to go over it right before the class so I didn't feel like it was as good as it could have been, but I'm happy it is over with.
SATURDAY: I tried to get a few things done in my house before going to a baby shower for my niece and then leaving for the game in Salt Lake. The game was great even though we didn't win. I was very impressed (and proud) when I saw how many USU fans were in the crowd. We definitely outnumbered and out cheered the BYU fans. I think I'm getting old though. I found that sitting in the student section was a little loud for my liking, my ears were ringing, and I had a headache by the time the game was over.
MONDAY: Finally a day to stay home (mostly) I did laundry and studied for finals all day. Monday night my parents came to my house for a turkey dinner and then we all went shopping together to but gifts for the Angels for Christmas family we adopted. It was great to get all of my kids involved. My 10 yr old especially enjoyed picking things out for the 2 yr old girl in the family. She insisted on being the one to pick out the cute clothes for her and debated for a long time about what kind of toy to get. (the girl had not requested a specific item, just a toy). My daughter ended up deciding that for a little girl, you can't go wrong with a baby doll with blankets and bottles and other accessories.
So for the rest of this week I'll be studying a lot and taking tests, much like everyone else on many campuses. Good luck everyone!!
