It's Christmas...
I'm in Pella for the holidays. The seminary gives us a almost two weeks of vacation for Christmas, but for some ridiculous reason they scheduled us to come back on a Friday. It would have been nice to start on Monday and get a couple more days of break. I've been trying to study Hebrew because I'm doing horribly in it. I don't know how I'll ever fit all of the vocabulary into my brain. I've had a pretty blessed life. When I put forth effort, I usually see positive results...not so in Hebrew. I'm a complete dunce! I just hope I can pass; otherwise I'll be in seminary for another year.Ugh, I get depressed just thinking about it. Other things that have happened over break. My whole family was here (including my ridiculously cute nephews). It was really good to see everyone despite my annoying cold. My sister-in-law and I bonded with a trip to Des Moines where she convinced me to get my nose pierced . It was painless for the most part. I have wanted to get it done since I was 15, but I never got it done (trying to respect the parents). My sister-in-law is very persuasive, so I go it done. I like it-except when I hit myself in the face. Yeah, it happens-especially with a cold!
These next couple of days, I'm planning on studying in the ONE coffee shop in Pella (the lack of choice is annoying), reading Anne of Green Gables, watching TV, and hanging out with friends and family. I think I'll be rested and ready for school in a week or so (well I guess I'll have to be either way).
