The end of the semester is upon us, and there is much rejoicing. Classes ended yesterday and my finals start Saturday. I feel that this has been a good first semester here at the UMN and am looking forward to next semester too. Though, I will admit that I miss Daytona Beach a little bit, the people here are much more friendly in general, I’m already getting involved on campus (about to get involved in the Solar Car project) and I just feel like I fit in a little better. Bad driving seems to have followed me all the way across the country though, its really a curse.

I think I did well this semester, though that might change once I actually take my finals and get my grades back. There was a period of 2 weeks in November where I was pretty depressed and slacked off a bit, hopefully they didn’t hurt me too much.

I started Christmas shopping today. Got part of Luke’s present and part of Beth’s (brother and sister) as well. It is a good start, though I’ve already spent too much money. I’m going broke. I really need to start getting my ass in gear on this whole online marketing thing, but thats another post for another time. I’m looking forward to seeing my family, especially my oldest brother Matt and my Uncle Bob, since I don’t get to see them much anymore; living outside of the ‘main land’ and all.

I am most definitely looking forward to going skiing, sledding, and in general enjoying the snow. I’m pretty surprised that we haven’t gotten much snow here yet. We got a very small amount back in November that didn’t stick around for more than a few hours. Hopefully it will be a white Christmas though, they’re the most enjoyable.

Well, I wish everybody luck on their finals, and safe traveling to where ever you call home for the Holidays.
