This is the time of year when I am glad I am not a student

Yes, final exam time. This is the time period in my University career that I dreaded the most and liked the least. My two roommates are both University students and when I see them stressing out and cramming all night long I can't help but be inwardly relieved that I don't have to write any finals. There are some good things about writing finals though. There is no better feeling than knowing you did an excellent job. Also, the celebrating when finals are over is one of the best parts of University!

This week we are doing more Regina and area visits. We were at Sheldon-Williams Collegiate this morning and there were about 110 students in our presentation! We played our game, Uranium, and everyone got really involved. We will be back at Sheldon and other Regina schools next week to help the Grade 12 students fill out their application forms.

Last night all of the people who travel together got together for a Christmas party. The theme was ugly sweater and boy did we have some ugly sweaters. Mine had leather, fur, decals and armpit tassels. In came in second to Dean's from St. Thomas More College. His was a knitted thing in veregated wool in the colors baby blue, baby green and pink. It was hilarious! We also played a few rounds of Taboo and this has caused me to think of some words in new ways, such as abscond, nutmeg and camelot.

Want a good holiday playlist? Here are my recommendations:
Spoon - Don't You Evah
The Killers - Don't Shoot Me Santa
Sia - Day Too Soon
Maroon 5 - Won't Go Home Without You
Placebo - 20th Century Boy
