Wow.
I don't know about you guys, but this year has flown by!!
Then again, it's been a busy year for the most part.

Classes are difficult, but I am so glad I am in this program. The volunteering is sometimes difficult, but I enjoy it nonetheless. Discussed with my advisor when my planned graduation date was, he said no earlier than May 2012. Yuck. Oh well.

So, Thanksgiving and Christmas are coming up, and I'm all happy. Well, minus the stress of finals and stuff . It's really ironic that Christmas is coincided by a stressful period, like finals. Because you're all like "YAY! The holidays are coming!" and "GAH! >_< Finals are coming up!!". Those of you in college know what I'm talking about. LOL.

Eeeep!

As for me and my honey, I get to see him in a month or so . Our one year anniversary was this month. I am totally psyched. And so is he. LOL. (He gets so excited, it's adorable! xD. His family calls me "Bri-chan" heehee. They spoil me ROTTEN with their hospitality.). The only bad this is after I see him this time, I won't be able to see him til the summer TT_TT, as of my school scheduling. Well, we've waited that long before, so doubt it will be much of a problem. This allows us time to focus on work and studying, so it's all good. We're both pretty patient and understanding, which is really nice. The program I'm in is pretty intensive and stressful, but at the same time, rewarding. I feel as difficult as it is, I have the support of many good people who believe in me. I feel so grateful to them. He is one of them.

Takoyaki sounds amazing right now . . but alas . . fresh takoyaki would be many miles away.

I get to go to Hawaii in March! Sweetness!
This will be my first time, and I was told I have to try out the Mc.Donalds coconut pies they have there. Which, typically I don't eat fast food (unless it's the occasional chicken sandwich), but that sounds amazing! I really want to see the volcanoes too, and the gorgeous beaches.
