I am officially done with this semester!!
I'm so ready for my break. I am SO BURNT OUT. This semester was so much fun, and I can't believe half of my freshman year is already over. But at the same time, I'm so excited for the next few months of my life. I'm getting moved up to being a server when I get home at work, my birthday and work Christmas party are on Sunday, Christmas is in a week and a half, and when I get back next semester I'm going to have great (and easy) classes and my Orientation Leader stuff officially begins! My life is only going up from here.
I have a confession to make though. I saw Bob on the last day of classes. It was a coincidence, I didn't plan to. But our paths cross on the way to our classes at one (well...the classes we used to have at one) and I was running late last Wednesday and we saw each other. But thats not the best part. He said hey. What possessed him to speak to me, I'll never know. But I'm going to OFFICIALLY be done with him. I still have his CDs and he's still in my phone. So when I leave today, I'm trashing the discs and deleting the number. I don't think about him often, but I still do and thats going to stop. He's one of the things I'm looking forward to getting rid of from this semester.
In other news, the only grade I have gotten back from my exams is Biology, and that was an 88! Best test grade I ever got in that class! As soon as I hear back from my other professors, I'll be blogging. None of my tests were even that difficult though, so I'm honestly not all that worried about any of them. Including Oceanography.
Other than all of that, I'm about two-thirds done packing. Since I'm not completely moving out, I'm leaving some of my stuff behind. But all my clothes and toiletries and things like that have to come with me, and I've run out of suitcase space. When my mom gets here in the next hour she'll have another suitcase for me to finish.
I'm just so incredibly excited for my life right now. Things are really looking up from here on out. And you know what the best thing is? None of it is about a guy. I used to not feel content with my life unless I had some guy that either liked me or I liked him. But I feel fully complete. And thats a good feeling.
The only thing thats missing right now is food in my belly.

Adventure in Wilmington
Now playing: Justin Bieber - Mistletoe
Michael Buble - The Christmas Song
So Anna text me earlier with the great idea of going to Olive Garden for dinner. She said she would pay, so of course I was all for it. The only thing is that neither of us have cars. So we talked to everyone we thought might come with a car, and when they said they couldn't come we asked to borrow their car. All of them turned us down, so we decided to try using the city bus. We managed to make it to Olive Garden with no harm, except maybe being a little chilled. We had a delicious dinner and it was really nice. Then we realized we had to figure out how to get home.
I looked up a few things on my phone and figured out there was a bus stop right down the street. The next pick up was at 9:21, which meant by the time we got there, we still had 20 minutes to wait. There wasn't anywhere open for us to wait inside and there wasn't a bench at the stop, so we had to wait outside on the hard ground. Then it dawned on me: what if the bus didn't come this late? The website said the buses stop running at 9:30. My heart rate picked up and I rocked back and forth on the ground, praying to God that the bus would show up. I was filled with warmth a few minutes later as my prayer was answered and a bus stopped right in front of us and opened the door. I jumped up and down with glee. But my joy was short-lived. "Y'all know I can't take you anywhere but the Grand Central Station, right?" The bus driver's words punctured my happiness and I felt it drain slowly from me like air from a pierced balloon. She told us that they buses really stop delivering people to stops at 8:30 and everything shuts down at 9:30. Anna and I boarded the warm bus that would take us no where anyway. Anna called her roommate and I called my suitemate frantically to beg for a ride, but all I really wanted to do was call my mom and cry. I was so scared we would be stuck waiting outside the bus station for an hour or longer on someone to come get us, or even worse that no one would be able to come. My fear was deepened when Kelly said she couldn't come get us.
Finally, hope was restored when Kelly called us back and said she was on her way. I thanked God profusely, and ten minutes later I was sitting in a warm car on the way home, laughing at how stupid Anna and I were and swearing I would never take the bus again.
So I guess the moral of this story is that if you decide to use public transportation, make sure you understand how it works.
What an adventure.

Classes are Ovah!
I'm finally officially done attending classes for the semester! I'm so excited to be done with Biology and Oceanography. I'm going to miss Theatre though.
In other news, my first Orientation Leader meeting is today!!! I'm leaving in about twenty minutes. I'm so excited! Today we're just eating dinner and learning everyone's names really. We'll probably talk a little about what to expect and sign some contracts. I'm just really excited to get started.
I'm not looking forward to my Biology exam on Friday. At all. But who ever looks forward to any exam? Show me this person so I can proceed to slap them in the face (which I wouldn't do because 1. this person does not exist, and 2. I'm very anti-violence). Anyway, I have studied for it so I think I'll do fine. I need to do really, really well to save my grade in that class. I'll be praying pretty hard for the next few days.
That's pretty much it. I usually like to finish my posts with a solid ending sentence or two, but I'm too hungry to come up with something clever so you'll just have to deal with this.

Not Much Going On
I wish not much was actually going on. I feel like I have so much to do that my brain is overloaded and I can't actually accomplish anything. I have a final coming up on Friday, then ones Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, and instead of studying after class today I took a two and a half hour nap.
What I meant by "not much going on" is that not much interesting is going on. Since finals are upon us, the student body has withdrawn themselves and actually buckled down to study. Joy.
I'm sitting at CCM right now because I'd rather study here than in my dorm and the library is just out of the question this time of the school year. Apparently, and I haven't seen this for myself yet, the library is like a wild jungle. When upperclassmen talk about Randall during the finals period, I always find myself picturing a Mean Girls-esque scene. You know, the part at the end when all the girls are going wild with rage in the hallways and Cady blinks to get rid of the image but she can't because its really happening. A girl this morning compared finding an outlet for your laptop charger to Black Friday shopping and everyone says its literally impossible to sit at a table at all. Don't even think about using a computer. And people are so desparate to study that they lay down all over the floors and there's no where to walk.
I imagine most college campuses experience similar library horrors. As for me, I don't want to deal with that. So here I am at CCM, blogging instead of studying.
In other news, MY BIRTHDAY IS IN TWELVE DAYS!! I'm so excited. I will finally be 18. No more pretending I forgot my ID to get into the club. I'll get to buy lottery tickets and buy stuff off TV commercials. And best of all, when my mom tells me to do something, I'll be able to say no and that I'm an adult and don't have to listen to her! HA. Yeah right, she'd whip my tail till I bled.
Before I go, I'm going to introduce a new "feature" of my blog. If I'm listening to music while I blog, I'm going to tell you what it is. So here I go!
Now playing: Demi Lovato - Give Your Heart a Break
Yay! That was fun!
Okay, off to study! PEACE.

Impossible?
Why does this boy diet seem so impossible??
I seriously never realized how much I think about boys until I tried to stop. This is ridiculous.
I am getting better though. Sort of. Maybe that's just because I don't actually have any specific guy in my life. Which is stupid, because then as soon as some guy wants to date me I'm going to hop right on that. Bad! Bad Olivia!
In other news, I was told something really exciting today. Buuuut you can't know for another month and a half. Well, you could if I wanted to tell you, but its a secret! Muahahaha.
Also, I found out I will be going home for the semester on the 14th. I'm so excited for this semester to be over. As much as I love Wilmington, I'm EXHAUSTED.
Well...I guess that's all. So...bye.
