Christmas!

Christmas time is here! Time for joy and cheer!

I love this time of year! Everyone seems to be in a good mood. Christmas decorations are all around town. And I get to wrap presents! I absolutely love to wrap presents. I wrap them while I listen to Christmas music. I think I know just about every Christmas song there is.

One thing I wish were different about my Christmas is my family being so far away. I have my immediate family here--my mom, dad, sister, brother, and my future brother-in-law. But all my other relatives live in Chicago, and I don't remember the last time we all spent Christmas together. I know when we were all really little we would either go up there or they would come down here. But that doesn't happen anymore. I wish it did. My family is awesome. We are Italian, so my family is big, loud, and we love to cook. It's so awesome when we are all together. When I have a family, I want to live close to my parents so my kids can see them very often. I didn't have that, and I always wished I had. So I can give it to my kids someday.

Anyway, I'm doing well in school, which makes me really happy! Next semester is going to be difficult, but I know I can get through it. I like school now that I am taking my major classes. It's wonderful.

Okay, I'll close this up. Not like anyone is reading this, but it's nice to have a place to write down all my thoughts, whether or not people read them. That's all for now!

The Very First One

So this is my very first blog entry ... ever. This is new to me and I am not exactly sure what I will write in these things. I think it will be fun, though!

I have finals all this week for school and they can be a bit stressful. But so far, they haven't been too bad. I am just ready for this school year to be finished and I can go home and see my family. I need these next 3 months to relax! Although, hopefully I will be working so I can't relax too much.

Okay, I know this was a really lame post, but it's my first one. They will get better, I promise!!
