The Agony of Finals

I had the greatest of intentions from the very beginning.... I had planned on knowing all of the material DAYS in advance. Yet, here I am, the day before finals, studying and stressing. No fun. Don't get me wrong, I DID start studying early, but the material wasn't quite as...learnable... as I had hoped. Tomorrow I have my geography and my math finals, and on Friday I have my english and science finals. After that, I'm free for Christmas BREAK! I'm mostly dreading Friday- english and science will probably be the hardest ones. Tonight my youth group is having a Christmas party, and I'm so excited! Of course, I'll have to leave a little bit early so that I can continue my studying (ugh...) but it will be so much fun! At least finals are during the Christmas season, because if they weren't, I just don't know what would cheer me up!
I'm so excited about Christmas break! On Saturday, I'm going to a wedding with my Mimi- the bride stayed with her for a few weeks, so I guess you could say that that's how they became friends. That will be really fun! And then I'm going straight to my small group leader's house for a small group CHRISTMAS PARTY!! So fun. We always have delicious snacks and play pictionary telephone, which is an absolute blast- it always has us laughing. I have the greatest small group in the world! Then, on the morning of Christmas Eve, my family is going to my friend's iceskating party! That will be so much fun- I can't wait!! We went last year, and I definitely enjoyed myself! We are probably going to spend that night in Arkadelphia with my Nana and Papaw, and spend Christmas Day with them! Aaagh, I just can't wait!! All the stress of school will be gone, and I'll just get to have fun spending time with friends and family.
Wow, writing all of this makes me so ready for the break! I just have to get through finals first.... it will all be worth the hard work if I get a good grade, I just KNOW it! Well, I've gotta go study, study, study!!
