Ahh.. finals week. What made it bearable this year?
- My roommate. Obviously.
- Hanging out allthetime with Josh and Jeremy.
- Driving around on Christmas light hunts.
- Eggnog milkshakes a la Reno.
- "Ocean's Twelve" with everyone and their mothers.
- Chipotle...twice.
- Playing with my puppy.
- Steak N Shake...twice.
- Spending Monday night at Matt & Laura Wailes' house.
- Watching "Spellbound".
- Creating my own radio station and editing it with Krysten.
- Giving Krysten her Gavin shirt.
- The DAE Christmas party.. and speeding back with Brandon.
- Mark Button's Santa hat that I liked to wear
- My DAE fleece
- My Willetts shirt
- My Lawlor sweatshirt
- Perkins with Lauren and Christe.
- Talking to Rachel's frisbee friends.
- My ability to run on little to no sleep.
But now it is almost at its end. I have three finals left - management, macro, WV development - and I am out like a fat kid in dodgeball. I will scoot across the Midwest with a caravan of Ben, the big red truck, Caitlin, the little VW Bug, Snow, his essentials and my big black suitcases. It promises to be a Christmas like no other.
I will miss everyone. But we will all be more relaxed when we come back, and that is a good thing. Love you.

Happy 19th Birthday, Rachel!!
It is a very exciting day. On this day, 19 years ago, Rachel Marie Clift was born.
In further news, I woke up in a bad mood this morning. I had one of the worst dreams in a long time, felt sick when I was supposed to go to my 8:00 class, and they didn't have french fries in Chuck's. Everyone's been talking about engagement rings, and they have sucked me into it. I am pulling myself out of it.
Walking in the snow with the boys put me in a better mood.
A nap might help.
I am going to be in a good mood by the end of the day. I am determined. Happiness depends completely on your attitude. At least I am aware that mine is bad right now. That is the first step in making a positive change, right? Right.
I just cracked open a Snickers in hopes that it will help. Chocolate always does, right? Cookies in my mailbox make me happy, too.
Really, I have so much to be thankful for. And happy for. And anticipating. I am over the bad attitude. The rest of the day is going to rock.
