Sound of Silence

Hey everyone,

Well, it's definitely been a long week. I've been tested mentally quite a bit, with some hard tests and trying not to go insane waiting for Christmas break, but I made it through. I make it sound a lot harder than it was I suppose, but finals week is definitely a stressful time around campus. Everyone seems like they're are constantly studying and trying to cram every last bit of knowledge into their brains.

But enough about that, because as of 5:30 on Thursday I finished my first semester as a college student. Which is oddly terrifying and refreshing at the same time. Scary because it doesn't seem like I've been at Luther long enough to have a semester under my belt, not even close. But also very relaxing knowing I've got a few weeks off, with no worries,no homework or anything like that. Just hanging out with my family, Carly(that's my girlfriend of a very long time, and she goes to Luther as well), and enjoying the Christmas season.

I'm planning on playing more video games and watching more movies than neccessary, for no other reason than because I can. But hopefully I'll get outside a little bit or practice some music stuff. And hopefully I might be exercising as well, so I don't get all soft over the next few weeks.

But anyways, I hope you have a great last week of class if you're still in session, and I will talk to you soon.

Alex
