Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas… Finally!!!

All semester long I have struggled to find motivation to do school work. I have always been a procrastinator but I hit an all time low. Everything peaked a few weeks ago when I found out I would not be done in May and I would have to do a whole other student teaching when the next school year starts… And then came thanksgiving and the start of the Christmas season!! I thought that my homesickness would kick in even more hard core and that my motivation for school would completely diminish. After all, that’s what happened last year, I was doing really good until the Christmas season started, then all I could think of was going home and I no longer cared if I failed out of school.

For some reason I had the totally opposite effect this year. Ever since the start of the Christmas season all I have been able to think about is getting all this work dune so I can go home and party it up San Diego style! In one night I buckled down and did a whole week’s worth of homework. When I looked at the clock and realized that I had to be up in 4 hours, I still didn’t want to stop. It felt so good! If only I had this motivation all the time. Who knows the things I would be able to accomplish, I would probably take over the world or something.

So now I have 2 weeks more left of school and only 2 projects to do. I am not stressed at all!! That has never happened to me before! This is about the time I normally start going crazy and stop sleeping. And these classes that I’m finishing are the last classes I am ever going to have to take! I am so excited!!

Unfortunately, the end of this semester also means graduation for a lot of my friends. Although I am so happy for them, I hate that this means they are going home and I don’t know when I’ll be able to see them again. The worst part of going to an international school is that you make friends with people from all over the world, and when you leave odds are you will never see them again. I am horrible with goodbyes and I can’t stand the thought of not knowing when I’ll see my friends again!

I could go on and on typing all night but I’m going to stop now and go watch a cheesy LifeTime Christmas movie as I fall asleep. Goodnight and Happy Christmas Season!!!
