so ready...

I am so ready for finals to be over!  I'm running on an average of 4 hrs of sleep a night this week thanks to my research paper, first final, and other projects that have been due.  The good news is only 7 finals stand between me and my fabulously relaxing and festive Christmas Break!  Ki and I are so excited that we actually get to celebrate Christmas this year!  We plan to go to temple square to see the lights, feed the reindeer at thanksgiving point, attend our family christmas parties, and have an ugly sweater eggnog party!  If you will recall we were both working 12 hr. graveyards at the post office last christmas for a little extra cash flow from Dec. 10- Dec. 24th.  Wow, mixed memories from our first Christmas working that much.  Some good, some terrible, MANY hilarious, but all-in-all we are relieved we decided not to subject ourselves to that again this year.  We wish all our dear friends and family who are doing it another year, good luck!  We hope you don't die from exhaustion,  and that you won't have a crazy task-driver demanding you push the OTR's faster in your pit.  We hope you have another  Jamie Suliafu in your pit, who is huge and strong, and lifts all the huge heavy bags full of parcels and letters onto the sorting table for you.  Because lets face it, that was the job we all hated most.  We hope you have a comfy pair of shoes because 12 hrs of standing really takes a terrible toll on your feet and back, but mostly we really hope for your sake that people don't send packages filled with wine bottles that break, pee samples, stinky fish or any of the other terrible crap we had spilled on us last year :)

I am so glad I am only taking 14 credits next semester instead of 18.  Having 18 credits this semester has just about done me  in.  I'm not one of those crazy genius people who can endure large doses of school all at once.  I have a job interview tomorrow at a CPA firm (since I will be able to handle having a job come January, unlike this semester) and I really hope I get it!  It is just for the PT receptionist job, but it would be so great because I really hate looking for jobs, and being receptionist is low key and has a low stress level involved, and I just would love it haha.  So wish me luck!  I really hate interviews.... really really bad.

Have I mentioned I am so excited for Christmas yet?!  Man I can't wait for finals to be over with.  I hope you all survive finals, and I really hope you all are enjoying the Christmas season as much as us!
