Phillip + Finals = Neglect

I'm so sorry to have neglected this blog for the past week. Phillip's visit and studying for finals are to blame.

When Phillip's in town or I'm spending time with him, I tend to completely shut off the rest of the world. I don't really know if that's supposed to be a good thing or bad... It's good because that shows that I'm still madly in love with him and he still has all of my attention. It's pretty bad because obviously I lose track of things and forget about people. I need to work on a balance.

Finals have been pretty low-key for me this semester. Well, I say that, but it's because I've had 3 finals before the actual "finals" period began. I have my Anatomy final this afternoon (getting dressed to leave soon) and my History of Jazz final tomorrow. That's all that separates me from home.

I've been really homesick the past couple of days. Thankfully Phillip coming in town took a little edge off of it. Everyone's back home except for me. They're having fun while I'm stuck here studying for finals. Luckily tomorrow's final should be pretty simple and the studying shouldn't take more than a couple of hours. So cleaning, washing, and packing will consume my life this afternoon and evening.

I'm so ready to be home and celebrate Christmas with my family. Wednesday I'll spend the evening relaxing, Thursday and Friday I'll help Phillip start our home-improvement projects around his parents' house, and Thursday night and Friday night I'll spend more time with family. Saturday morning I'm going with Phillip and his parents to San Antonio for the high school football state championship. I've gotta be honest though, I'm looking more forward to the margaritas on the river walk and shopping in San Marcos more than the actual game Saturday afternoon. I'll be coming back Sunday afternoon to spend the whole next week surrounded by people I love and people that love me to usher in the Christmas holiday.

It's the MOST WONDERFUL time of the year!!! :D
