Its Wednesday march 12, 2008 my sisters birthday…her 21^st birthday, I woke up early today and we and by we I mean me and my little brother who is 5 decorated for her birthday. It seems as though he is more excited then she is. I can’t wait for tonight, when my father comes home we are going to go out to dinner and then she will open her presents and we will eat cake. What she does after is up to her but I am guessing that she will sit in front of the television for the rest of the night and watch another one of her friends’ seasons. My sister is obsessed with tv and seasons of shows and movies. She has tons and tons of both. Well, for this holiday if you can call it that she decided she wanted the friends seasons…..she has a bunch already and she will probably only be missing a couple after her birthday is over. There are ten seasons and I think she at least has 3 or four and she hasn’t opened her presents yet. She at least has one more coming. I can’t wait. It seems as though it was just last summer when she went away to school and now she has come back and she is three years olds older. It’s hard to believe that so much time has passed. We’ve changed so much….we have both matured and experienced things we never though we would………….we are both in college and studying things we love in life……..and though we will continue to learn after we are done with school…..it seems as though from now on time seems to be flying by. It is as though I was just moving in to school a couple of weeks ago yet it was more around 8 months ago when that happened. Even though people try and scare you about college and how hard it is…..it seems as though u see how important it is for you to work hard so you do what you can to make it….and all the while you try and make the most of your time both by having fun and passing your classes……Time Flies no matter what you do in college. It’s hard to believe this semester is half way done. First semester seemed a lot longer but that is probably because we were getting used to being away from home it seems as though this semester we are more accustomed to living at school and deal with situations better. We have learned and lived and it’s been amazing so far…..and the best is yet to come!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! J

Spring break so far…..its Sunday nite when I am writing this……so far my break has been very good. I have spent some time with my family and almost an entire afternoon with my best friend. Usually at school I am super busy so I am taking the time to just enjoy my break. Not working at all this week which is amazing……also I am not scheduled to do anything else. My sisters birthday is on Wednesday so I will be celebrating with her then. Our birthdays consist of going out to dinner at the restaurant of our choice with the entire family and then cake and presents at our house. Birthdays are always saved for the family only. It is one of those traditions that has always been around….ever since I can remember. A week of to just chill and relax? A well deserved break from the hectic events at UIS. I never seem to get a moment to myself. As we get closer and closer to the end of the year it seems harder and harder to just sit down and relax or blog. Im going to try and blog at least twice while I am on break but who knows….i think im not busy and then I am informed of things which I have been volunteered to do. Lets see how this week turns out. Till next time……….have fun those of you who are on break!!!!!!!!!! I know I am : )
