Hey everyone,

Midterms=stressful. The good news is that I have already taken 2 this week and have one left. My head just hurts from all this studying but I feel like I have done well so far. I have my last midterm, Statistics, on Thursday and I think that one will be fairly easier than the other 2. It also didn't help that my computer came down with a bad virus. I had to take my computer to the helpdesk. Luckily they were able to get rid of it and I am thankful for that!


This year, I'm heading up to the grand city (as some people like to call it), St. Louis. I am really excited because Creighton basketball will be playing in the Missouri Valley Conference there this weekend so I am hoping they win so I can catch a game! After that, I am flying home on Tuesday to Omaha. I am so ready to be home since I haven't been since Christmas break. It will be nice to relax a little, but there is still a lot of school work I will have to do. I am very jealous of some of my friends who are going down to Florida for break. They will have a fun time and will come back with some great stories. I have never been on spring break but decided that I will save up and go for my senior year.
Until then, I will just be stuck dreaming about the beach!

Hello all,



I hope everyone is enjoying their month of February. I know I am! Besides the frigid cold and snowy conditions, February is my favorite month of the year. I say this because my birthday is in February, so I am a little biased. But this birthday wasn't just any birthday. It was my 21st birthday on the 3rd! It was such a great birthday and I am very thankful for my friends who celebrated it with me. I think that is all I'm going to say about that one!



February is also such a great month because school is still pretty relaxing. Sure there are a few papers and tests here and there but it seems that I don't get stressed out until the end of the school year. That is when all the big projects are due and finals start to hit. So I have to say I'm sitting good right now, still feeling out how my classes are going to be. I have only had one test so far and one paper so I can't complain.



Also this month marks the holiday of love, Valentine's Day! Although this holiday might not be top on my list, I always enjoy sending out cards to my family. Sometimes it is just nice to remember how much you love and appreciate them in your life. And it's always nice to get valentines, chocholate, and even flowers from a secret admirer. Speaking of Valentine's Day, that is the name of a new movie that is coming out this weekend. It has a really good cast and I am anxious to see it. Who knows, maybe I will even go see Valentine's Day on Valentine's Day :)
But if you are just thinking about staying in and renting a movie, I have the perfect romantic comedy for you. My boyfriend and I watched it last weekend and he even enjoyed it! If you haven't seen it yet, please rent 500 days of summer. You won't regret it (I hope).





Love,

Abby

Hey everyone,



It's so great to be back at school again. As much as I appreciate a 6 week Christmas break, it tends to drag out towards the end. After awhile I am just ready to get back and have a routine again. But I do always love my time at home. During this break in Omaha, we received the most snow I think I have ever seen in my life. If only I was in high school again I would have had 5 snow days! The snow just kept coming and coming. It was really pretty but pretty dangerous on the road.


Another highlight is that the Huskers won the Holiday Bowl over Arizona. Okay, they didn't just win the bowl game they destroyed AZ and posted a shutout for the first time in NE bowl game history. Gotta love being a Nebraska fan right now. But besides watching a lot of bowl games, I mostly enjoyed spending time with my niece! Ella is only nine and a half months and she is walking! She is so funny. I just can't even believe it. That was one reason I did not want to come back to school because she is just in such a cute stage of her life! But she is coming down to visit me for my birthday soon and I can't wait!

I really am looking forward to this semester. It is going to be more challenging for me in school this semester because I am taking a couple classes that I have been putting off! I am taking 17 hours and have spring soccer coming up, so I feel that things are going to start to pick up in the next few weeks. I am just excited for spring in general because it is my favorite season. I love when it starts to get warm again and its fun to be outside. I can hardly wait!
