getting closer

i've been a mess lately because of all the crap i have to finish up at the end of the semester. my normal classes wouldn't be a big deal - as a matter of fact i hardly have anything due for them and no finals. instead i'm bogged down with my directed research class and a correspondence course. i decided to take my correspondence test when i return from break. i didn't want to study or do anything over christmas, but it has allowed me to have peace of mind. now i can actually focus on getting my essays done instead of sitting in front of the computer freaking out that it's all due by thursday morning. thursday. i'll really be home in two days! wow! i'll have some work to finish up, but i know i'll need time away from my mother ;) i'm looking forward to seeing folks from home. i joined facebook recently and have "found" high school classmates. it makes me realize i haven't been so great at staying in touch with many of my friends from va. hopefully i'm able to see some of you in the week i'm in good ol' funchester.
