End-of-the-Semester Insanity (and Christmas!)

It's Christmastime on campus, and most people are so happy about it! The first night it snowed, my friends and I went out and made snow angels all over campus, then stood on the library lawn and sang dubstepped Christmas carols at the passersby. It was a blast. It's the last week of school until exams, and everyone is stressing out. I guess I'm lucking out this semester, since I only have one exam. (A lot of people have punched me for telling them that.) It's going to be a pretty hard one, though. The history of the Catholic Church. Oi. I'm excited for break. It's nice to have a month off, but I'm going to miss everyone a lot. I already can't wait to come back, and I haven't even left yet! Everyone on campus is trying to find ways to relax through exams. The RAs are offering some pretty awesome activities to relieve stress, and tonight in Alliot there are even massages available! Saint Mike's is way too good to us. :) To help get everyone in the holiday mood, I decorated the door to my dorm room. My roommate came back after her classes to find it looking like this:

She stood in the hallway laughing for a good five minutes before she could come back in. We haven't named the little skiing guy yet, and we are certainly open to suggestions!

It's been fun around campus lately. We had jibfest a few days ago, which was an event where they built a ramp out of scaffolding and railings and people did ski jumps and snowboard tricks. It was cold, but pretty cool. At my floor meeting last night, my RA gave us all hot chocolate and mugs, and we ate candy canes and decorated cookies. (She really is the best RA ever!) And Alliot's Christmas dinner was last night, and it was so good! They even had a bunch of vegetarian options, and their dessert table was so good that we waited around after dinner until we had enough room in our stomachs for some cheesecake. :) It's nice that classes are finally over. Next semester, I only have one class that I am not ecstatic about. (It's a math class. I'm sure you understand.) I am so excited for the other three. I get to take another philosophy class, an acting class, and my schools and society class. They all just sound like so much fun! It's going to be an awesome semester. I hope everyone has a great holiday season! Hopefully I'll have more time to blog now that I don't have teachers cramming in last-minute work!
