Well here it is, the final blog post of 2015. By the time I write a new one, it’ll be
January 2016 somehow. I decided to
combine November and December’s blog post because they’re basically combined
anyway during the school year with all the holidays.
For Thanksgiving I made my annual trip to St. Louis and was
able to see some extended family I really only see at Thanksgivings and
graduations. I had to come back early to
work on both of my final papers that were due this week. Luckily once I get them out of the way after
Friday I’ll only have one exam during finals week next week.
For Christmas break I don’t have any big plans. We’re hosting Christmas this year, so the
house is all festive. We had to get a
smaller tree and place it in a high spot because my cat is psycho and would
probably eat everything on it. I have no
idea what I want for Christmas like every year, so I’m sure I’ll be receiving
lots of Amazon gift cards and random articles of clothing from the family.
Next year will bring quite the adventure as I completed my
application to study abroad in AUSTRIA in the summer!!!!!!!! As soon as I saw the announcement that
graduate students could go, I knew I had to go.
Hopefully I can get some good scholarships so I’m not paying almost
$6000 out of pocket/through loans. I
should be taking a class about leadership in global environments and a class
about the psychology of good and evil during the Holocaust. Both should be extremely enlightening. I highly recommend everyone to apply for
study abroad if they can swing it. I
went to Paris one summer with KIIS (the program also doing Austria), and it was
amazing. Hopefully a few other MPA
students apply so I’m not alone with a bunch of undergrads (just kidding, but
also seriously).
That’s pretty much it for the year! It’s been a crazy busy, but fun year and I
fully expect 2016 to be just as crazy and fun. I hope everyone enjoys their
break. Have a Merry Christmas and a
Happy New Year!!!
Thanks!
P.S. This isn't my cat, but I felt it appropriate.
