The semester is over and it has officially gotten snowy in KC! I love cold weather, so I'm not complaining...though I have to say that walking on campus from my house in snow with the wind chill below zero isn't precisely my favorite. At least the campus looks nice!The semester, happily, ended well for me--and I needed that 4.0, so I'm quite pleased with how finals went down. Of course, there was a lot of stress involved, particularly in the two week period between Thanksgiving and Christmas break. I finally, as a senior, pulled my first all nighter! The sad part is, I didn't really need to stay up all night to finish that last paper...I finished it around 2:30am and decided that it would be fun to stay up until 5. Strangely enough, it was! I suppose that's just a college experience everyone has to have at some point.
My grad school apps are still in progress--most of my information is out to the four big schools I'm applying to, and I'm spending some of the break working on the last pieces for the seminary applications. Both of the smaller seminaries should have rolling admissions, so hopefully I'll hear back from them fairly soon after my application is complete and on file--the other schools don't pass down their admission decisions until March, which makes me think I'll be a stressed out little chica that month. But what can I say? I've put my best foot forward on my personal statements, the GRE went well, and my grades are about as good as I can ask for. I'll just wait and see how everything falls out!
Waiting tonight to see if we get the ice storm they've been predicting for us...only a few days after a really heavy snow! This seems very atypical of KC winter weather, but I'll be happy if we can get one good dump of packing snow so me and my friends can go sledding and build a snowman. (Because really, isn't college just a time to relive all the awesome stuff you did as a kid?)
Updates whenever there's something interesting to tell!
