Last Blog of the Semester :(

So I was going to write about things to do during your study break, but apparently Kaylan already did... Study tips was written about too... I'm writing about them anyway.

If you haven't read the other blogs these will be new:
Don't Procrastinate.
Organize all your study materials and make a study schedule.
Study. (I still recommend flashcards)
Sleep. It will help.
Take study breaks so that you don't burn yourself out.

Things to Do During your Study Break:
Learn how to play the cello.
Sail a boat to China.
Go to the beach.
Build a snowman. (If it isn't snowing where you are, go somewhere where it is)
Go to the moon.
Make an interpretive dance video and post it to YouTube.
Travel back in Time.

Or you know, things more easily done, like hanging out with friends or watching a movie or baking cookies... Don't make your break TOO long.

A lot people hear the word "final" and cringe. But a lot of classes will just treat them like any other test, and sometimes you have them on the last day of class instead of during finals week. I actually only have one final during finals week :) yay!

Winter Break is almost here! I'd tell you I was doing something fun... but I'm not. So I won't lie to you. Because you are a good person. I know you are because you're actually reading this.

I wish I was going somewhere cool over winter break. I tried convincing my parents that I should go to Paris, France for New Year's, but they said no. Oh well. It was long shot anyway...

Today in History:
1982: Michael Jackson's "Thriller" album is released
1835: Mark Twain is born
1803: The Spanish transfer the Louisiana Territory to the French (It will transfered to the US 20 days later)
1874: Winston Churchill is born
1965: Ben Stiller is born
1900: Oscar Wilde dies
If any of these are wrong, take it up with my iPhone app.

I can't believe the semester is almost over... didn't feel very long.

I want to go on Jeopardy.

I also want to be one of Jeopardy's "Clue Crew"

Lots of fun games on Sporcle for you to play during your study breaks too.

Good place to buy stuff online: Zappos. I've bought shoes from them several times and they have other stuff too. Shipping is free, and super fast, and they have a great return policy, which includes free return shipping.

One reason I'm looking forward to Winter Break: I get to read more of the books on my to-read list. There are a lot. I'll let you know how it goes in January.

Do not put marshmellows in the microwave.

I'm so glad it's hot chocolate season! yum!

Do put marshmellows in hot chocolate.

Hammontrees has really good grilled cheese sandwiches.

This is the last blog of the semester :( Until next semester! Happy Studying and Holidays!
