Finals week is coming...

I think I'll try and keep this brief, since it is finals week and I'm really tired and stressed out.
Let's just stick to the highlights:
Monday we had the dance final which went alright, although not as well as I hoped. After some ballroom games we got to learn some new swing steps. Refreshments were provided, and everyone enjoyed my chocolate caramel brownies. It was kind of sad - the first of my classes that was over forever.
Wednesday was one of the most hectic days ever. It was the last day of German. After class I asked Professor Kelling if I could come up and talk to him quickly. The only time he could fit me into his schedule was 11:30, the same time as my voice lesson ended. Not seeing any other option I agreed. Leaving voice 5 minutes early I literally ran with a bulging back pack all the way across campus to the dorms, grabbed my stuff and ran all the way back. Lillian was waiting for me. Completely out of breath we stopped in the hall so Lillian could sign the card I had made. Plate of home made muffins and brownies in hand we knocked on Professor Kelling's door, sang "Stille Nacht" and gave him the baked goods with the card on top. The spirit of Christmas was almost palpable in the room as he accepted our gift and thanked us. I was so happy.
Wednesday afternoon Erin and I went dress shopping. Erin was looking for something for the Helaman halls winter invitational that was going to be Thursday. I came along and had fun trying on tons of dresses, but didn't find anything. Erin, on the other hand, found a blue dress with black polka dots that was absolutely adorable. Thursday evening came. I didn't have a date and wasn't going to go, but Erin persuaded me to come. I borrowed one of her dresses which I had to pin in the back, but it was still pretty. It wasn't to bad. The whole ceiling of the cannon center was covered in lights, there was a cookie frosting booth and a refreshment table with a huge chocolate fountain. We got in line for carriage rides, but they stopped just as it was our turn. We took some fun pictures, talked and danced.
The rest of my life right now has been studying since finals are this week. I CAN'T WAIT FOR FRIDAY TO COME AROUND WHEN FINALS WILL BE OVER AND I'LL BE FLYING HOME!! For those of you in Philadelphia, we've got to hang out soon when I come back!!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
Love,
