My heart is currently overflowing in joy, and the past week has been a precious collection of memorable moments that I am anxious to share with y'all. From puppies to pajamas, the holiday season has put me in a giddy mood. highlights of the week, let's begin.
Finals week consists of a hectic schedule, but allows lots of "study" time to do anything BUT study . An initial smile-provoking moment spent this week was playing christmas music to kindergarden kids for our strings final (ya im a nerd, deal with it). We often forget the simplicity of being little, and the squirmy kiddos were completely satisfied to sing rudolph the red-nosed reindeer in their sweet, high pitched voices a solid 4 times. During one of the lunches in between tests, we went to my friend's house where I held her new puppy and if that doesn't make you happy, I have no idea what will. Golden doodle puppy in arms, studying for world history didn't seem so bad after all. Lemme tell ya, turning in my chemistry test (last final of the week) was LIBERATING and I'm very excited to not have to think about school for two weeks. That night, I was delighted to watch alex and sierra, cutest couple of the century, win X-Factor. They are extremely humble and supportive of each other and their voices are to die for. After finals, I took another very important test - my driver's test (what is parallel parking HAHA). I have anticipated driving for so long, and now that it is here it feels unreal. The adventurous feeling of finally being free engulfs me, and I can't wait to see what the the next few weeks bring. On a not-so-grown up note, that night I laughed until my stomach hurt while dancing around the kitchen wearing full length nightgowns with my friends. They were gifts and mine reads -- party animal with a silly picture of a beaver -- because obviously I am the partying type ;) Ultimately, I LOVED this week and I can only hope for more joyous moments in the future!
best wishes to all and happy holidays,
