OFFICIALLY DONE WITH FINALS!

I know, I should've been done sooner, but I just couldn't sit down and write my Reflection for my Religion class. I couldn't think of anything I really wanted to talk about. But it's done, and I can go pack.

It'll be a long drive, but I'll be home sometime tomorrow!

Is that snow outside?

Sometimes people really irritate me

Not to rag on people in general. I've found people in general to be rather nice. But I've managed to meet a few individuals that just.... they think that they understand things so well, and refuse to try to see things any other way and that just irritates me. So much, because to me, that's judgmental and forcing everything to be in a box just so. People, things, and events don't nicely into labels and boxes. Life is so complex that you're ruining your chances of getting it, or understanding things by forcing everything to fit in a label. And if you're looking for certain labels, but can't find it in something, that thing gets tossed aside. Like people's opinions, actual facts, people's chances... Really, the list could go on.

And what bothers me the most, is that some individuals take this stance with me, how could I know anything more than they do, we've had practically the same life experiences (not true, I just don't wear my past on my sleeve) or we're the same age, or I'm no farther along in my schooling. It's worse than being disregarded because I'm a child (which doesn't happen any more... that I can recall) because that at least is understandable. You can make assumptions about children that are often (but not always) more or less true. But young adults? Stop thinking you have everyone figured out, because you don't. Your brain hasn't even finished developing, so just stop it. I personally have had my opinions debated poorly, my knowledge (factual and correct) constantly questioned and/or disregarded and I can't seem to even try to explain myself, my feelings or ANYTHING really, because some individuals can't open up their minds and attempt understanding. I'm not saying I'm a saint, but I feel I have tried. I have tried very hard, and I'm just done with it all.

So, no Utah Trip.

Stupid weather, who needs it?
I was driving down with a friend and when we stopped to switch drivers and clean off the window (seriously, the huge trucks driving by were no help for consistent visibility) she got a text from a friend saying a blizzard was heading in/occurring. Having had my first experience with black ice this morning, I didn't want to push my luck or be stranded in Utah for finals week. So we headed back home. Stupid weather.


This means I wont have seen her for almost two years when I see her again. The last year or so we weren't able to hang out as much as either of us would've liked, and she did go through a stint of ignoring her phone because she was avoiding someone, but we've been able to still stay friends. We both love letter writing, so we'll keep up with that. But it's just not the same! Especially when Leverage ends soon, possibly for good, AND The Hobbit AND Les Miserables come out soon. These are all things we would have enjoyed together. And Now I have to wait for-practically-EVER!

End of Semester Life

Oh my gosh, the end cannot come quickly enough. I don't want to rush it, but come on! Can I just be done with it already? I want to be home, in my proper bed, with my awesome family, with my full movie and book collection, and proper free time, not stolen free time. (because sometimes you just hate having to work on your assignment a single second longer, and decide to get lost a bit on facebook and tumblr. I left my sparkly jar at home, and I'm wishing I'd brought it. I didn't realize how much I like using it.

In other news: 
 I have a new nephew! 
I'm going to see my best friend for the last time for a year and a half tomorrow.

Finals are next week

I get to go home in a week. In seven days, I will be heading home. Literally in my car, driving down the highway.
