Thanksgiving, Finals, Christmas, and Spain

Hi everybody!

It's been a long time since I've written!  School has been crazy this semester and right now I'm just trying to survive :)

Tomorrow starts Thanksgiving vacation, then we come back on Monday and have one more week (which I call "Hell Week"), and then it's Finals Week.  It's hard to believe how fast this semester has gone!  I plan on spending this week studying and resting :)  Yes I can do both...not at the same time but...lol

I can't believe how close Christmas is.  It feels like if I blink it'll be here.  Time feels like it just keeps moving faster each year!  I am very excited about having a break from school though, and I'm equally excited and nervous about classes next semester, but I'm sure they'll work out.  Speaking of Christmas, let me know if you would like a newsletter!  I say I will send one out every year but something always happens...but I am planning on it this year!!!

And now...Spain.  I have wanted to Study Abroad for many many years and I have finally decided no matter what, I'm going this summer with the Psychology department to Spain!  I am so excited!  I am excited to get upper division credit, to learn more about another culture, to get out of my comfort zone, and to learn about psychology in Spain.  I think this will be a wonderful opportunity and I can not wait to go.  It's only for 2 weeks so not too bad :)  I'm a homebody so I'm sure I'll be glad to be home even though I'm sure Spain will be amazing too.

If you would care to donate to my trip, head on over to my fundraiser site.  I am offering raffle tickets, one for each $5 donation.  I'll buy a few gifts in Spain, come home and draw names from those who donated.  Then I'll announce winners :)  Here's the link:  http://www.youcaring.com/other/send-liz-to-spain/268950

If you can't donate but would love to, I want you to know how grateful I am.  I understand, I have been and am in that situation.  I see so many fundraising sites as well as know people that need money and I wish I could help everyone out there, but I just can't.  So appreciate your thought :)  If you don't want to donate because you disagree with my decision or for whatever reason, then that's your choice.  I'm not forcing or guilt tripping anyone into helping me.  There's no pressure and I won't think anything less of you unless you tear me down, then please keep your opinion to yourself.  Just don't donate and move on with life.

Thanks for reading and I hope you all have a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving!
