Stressed OUT

I've been quite stressed out lately. I think because of this stress, it's making me a mean person. I've been so emotional and snappy and I have no idea why. Therefore, I am blaming all of this on the stress of school. I'm still really glad that I am doing the grad school program, but to say that I am ready for the year to be over would be an understatement.

I'm ready for Thanksgiving and Christmas break. I'm ready to spend time with my family. To sit out on the back porch with my Mom drinking coffee, reading a book, and watching the lake. I may even attempt to jump in the lake this break if it's not FREEZING cold. I want Christmas break so I won't have a thing to worry about. No finals to stress over, or books and assignments that I HAVE to read. I want to spend the break relaxing and pleasure reading...too bad it's not even November yet. :(

I had a fight with my best friend today. We don't fight very often, but lately, this past week, we have been miscommunicating. We sort of said some hateful things and have just to me grown apart somewhat. We discussed it and talked about it and worked everything out. I am hoping that everything will go back to normal.

Kelli leaves for Colorado in two weeks. I think today was when it really sunk in for me that she is really leaving. I'm really going to miss her. She helps keep me sane and understands me. (Most of the time) Kelli's parents came in for the weekend, so I went to church and lunch with them this morning. It felt like the old days in high school when I would spend the night with Kelli on a Sat. night and then we'd all go to church together. I really like her parents. Kelli is so adventurous that it almost makes me jealous sometimes, but then sometimes I'm nervous for her. I know that she is going to make tons of friends, but I don't want for a second her feeling lonely and my prayer will be that she adjusted quickly, but still thinks of us often :)
