Managed to pass all of my classes. Yay! I can't really believe it. But it was strange, I hit a point where I was doing so poorly in my classes that I just stopped worrying about them. Somehow it just miraculously worked out. I guess I just realized that I was either going to pass or fail and I just needed to get over it. It made the rest of the semester a whole lot less stressful.
I started a Julep monthly subscription, which means that I'm getting nail polish through the mail. It's a little crazy, especially since I think they just keep sending them to me. My account is under $50, stop selling me things that take money out of it! We'll see what comes in the next box. I didn't know that the next one would be coming so soon, or I would have checked what was going to be in it. I do like the last two colors I got, aparty orange and a navy blue. They are both lovely.
I had my box sent home so that it would be here when I got off the train. That's right, I took the train home. Sixteen hours two trains and nearly nine-hundred miles, but I made it. It was fine until my layover was delayed for more than an hour at the Chicago station. My Kansas City train was even five minutes early to Chicago and for that we were all punished. Union station is confusing as hell. That is the only reason, I think, that I prefer air travel. Air ports actually know what the hell they're doing.
Still I made it, it was 2am, but I made it. I was finally home for the holidays after that. We got to visit my grandmother at the hospital, she just had spine surgery. I got some falafel in Ann Arbor. A young woman on the train was talking about falafel, it made it necessary. We had some Christmas. I got two hammers and a pair of gloves. I got to spend a day with my bestest friend, and we saw Frozen. It was cute, but I'm kind of sad I saw it in theaters. The writing just wasn't all that it could have been.
Wildcats beat the Wolverines at the Wild Wings Bowl. Like there was any doubt. It was a great feeling to be on the winning team. EMAW!!
I am looking forward to the almost endless winter break.
