Post Christmas Post

Hey all!

I hope and pray that you had a very Merry Christmas. I think that everyone should have the oppurtunity to appreciate a time like this, in whatever way but certainly something wonderful and valueable.

Since that nice winter day, my family and I have been enjoying the days. The kids - much to their glee - got a Wii for Christmas and so we've been playing a lot of LEGO Batman, Wii Fit, and the company favorite: Just Dance 3. My little sister is the best at Just Dance, but we all have fun with it. I, for the most part, just look like a goofball!

I've been trying to use the holiday to have just that. Finally got all the grades in from school and registered for classes next semester and applied for housing and bought all my books. Happy to be spending less than $300 on books that I'll only use once (cause let's be honest: you think you're going to keep that great text book and use it again, but 90% of us never will =P)!

What I meant to say is that I've gotten the chance to see and hang out with a lot of the good friends that I miss in my home town.

Yup, nostalgia nostalgia =]

We're back in the car headed south again. We're going to be spending the New Year with my grandparents. Yep, that's right, no big party for me, but who cares? I haven't seen my mom's parents in years now.

My family has started learning Italian for our proposed summer vacation, and my Dad is so far the funniest. I know that deep down he takes it seriously, but he's got enough of a sarcastic and jokingly superior attitude to his personality that he'll never admit it to me and probably never ask me for help =] He'll get it though. I can't wait for the girls and David and Mom to get it. The young ones have the best chance, as long as they work at it.

Other than that, we're just anticipating the New Year. Have to say, I'm excited about 2012. It's going to be a fun year, I can already tell!

I'm Jonathon, and this is my life.

Post Exam War

Hello Again!

Well, after a long week of hermitous study, all four of my exams and exam-like things: 3D Design, Honors Chemistry, Honors Calculus, and my liberal arts seminar. I feel like they went progressively better over the course of the week, which I'm eternally grateful for. Uffa. It's been a crazy week.

For all that, I have to say that something has happened this semester that has never before occurred to me as a student. I had a great time and a lot of fun this semester. I built some crazy art pieces (you should have seen the installation I did for my final) and made a huge cake and got a bit of a movement made with an on-campus community service group and and and...
Yeah, I guess I had a normal semester.
But, for the first time ever, I'm actually rather glad that it is finally finished. I'm content and really relieved.

Eh. That's all I'll say. I'm really excited about next semester though!

Right now, the dorm is closed for the holiday and I'm out on the road again. I'm staying in a hotel in New Orleans for the next two nights and in the N.O. area until this coming Wednesday. Guess I'll have a bit of an adventure. Who knows?

Writer's block til then =P

Blount Winter Formal: Act VI

The dinner is over, the pictures are taken. Now they are off and away into the night, off to the evening's true great spectacle: the dance. They are riding in cars once again with their friends and look out the windows wistfully. Neither knows really what to expect, but they've been waiting and looking forward to this night for some time now.
And it has only just begun.
