Exams, Beer, and Great Friends!

Ok, so clearly my last post was when I was a little stressed to say the least! I'll tell you why though, since it seemed to skip my mind before! You see, I decided to move some of my finals from their original date in order to be done with exams earlier, so I can go see Matt earlier and for a longer period of time! (We haven't seen each other since the first weekend in October!) My schedule called for Monday 9-noon Payment Systems final, and then the next one was Juvenile Justice the next Monday. A whole week between was just too long to wait. So I moved Juvenile Justice to the first alternate date, and that was Wednesday from 6-9 pm...OR SO I THOUGHT! I found out on Monday that the alternate date was Tuesday 6-9 pm!!! That took away a whole day of studying I had planned in....SHOCK!!! So, hence my 16 hour day!



Oh well, it's over (now), and the reward was worth it....I tried a new beer, and LIKE it...If you know me, you are shocked now. I didn't start drinking beer until second year of law school, and I very rarely stray from Bud Light, but I've found something new! So I thought I'd share - and maybe you will try it and like it like me!

Now, on to the most important part of the post. I have some of the BEST friends ever!! Although this has been finals week, and I still have Sea, Ocean, and Coastal to go (1 question down, 4 to go) - I have been so encouraged by my friends. First, my week started with a card from the bestest - yes, a card - snail-mail...I love getting it, but rarely do! HA! Anyways, she was just wishing me luck on finals, reminding me not to lose my mind, and that it would be over before I knew it. Then after my last post during what I like to call a "whoa, i'm a little stressed, i need a study break" moment...I got comments, facebook messages/comments, and myspace comments - all encouraging me!!! It is so nice to have so many people that believe in my and are rooting for me! You guys are fantastic - even when I am so sidetracked with studying and finals! You guys rock, and know that even though I'm in my own "world" right now, I'm so thankful for you!!!!

Update on Matt:

So, seeing as how my past blog and the beginning of this one have been a little self-focused, I thought an update on Matt was necessary. Matt and the team flew back from Wisconsin - but thanks to snow and airport delays, he didn't get home until Monday around 3:00 am!!! Crazy! However, they ended the Turkey Day Tournament (2-1), which I think are GREAT statistics! Losing only their last game in a tough and close loss! Matt had a full day of work Tuesday and it was busy!!! Today, Matt and the team flew into Illinois, after a full day of work. They play Illinois (my parents alumni institution) tomorrow night. This will be the last road game for 2008, and I know Matt is definitely excited about that!!! They will fly back to C'ville late tomorrow night, and hopefully I'll be up there to watch the team in action on Saturday!! I think Matt and I are both really excited about being able to spend some time together! Woo-hoo!

I think that's about it...I hope everyone had WACKY WEDNESDAY! (Yeah, I'm sleep deprived and procrastinating, it's a bad combinations! Ha!)
