Finally Finals

EDIT NO. 2: 12/15/14: It's crunch time, y'all.  I'm gonna be MIA for the next two days.  I have one final tomorrow and two on Wednesday.  I'll do my best and see you on the other side! Thanks so much for all your love and support! 

EDIT: 12/11/14: PLEASE check out this man, right here, , and his piece that reduced me to tears:  the greatest love ever experienced.side a.
woman with the sad smile. (simone)
i've seen this smile
for as long as i can remember.
it is a sad smile,
a beautiful wonder,
a tragedy that never quite ended,
and strength in the way
she never ended either.
i am but a stone
sitting atop your mountain
that has never budged,
even if there is a slightest
of cracks in her formation.
with the strength of a thousand men,
she fights for me.
for her. for him. for them.
and she does so without question,
she gives herself away
until there is none left for her,
but i hope that i can continue
to give more to you,
to show you that i too
will become a mountain
in your image.
at least a pillar of strength
for someone in the same way
you have been my mountain,
my strength
since the day i was born
and how literal do i mean that.
woman with the sad smile,
as long as you are smiling
and holding onto the hope
that is the cornerstone
of our family,
we will fight for you
as you fight for us.
and i will die for you.
live for you,
and strive
t I could not be more honored to have such a wonderful, loving brother in Ricky.  He's one of the best and brightest spots in my life.  I love you so, so much, Ricky.  You mean more than the world to me.

It's that time of year again, everyone.

Finals week.

I knocked out one final today, which was excellent. I just have three next week and then my fall semester is over! I can't wait to be at home for a month for winter break! 

However, this is just a warning: if I don't respond fairly soon to comments, it's not because I'm ignoring you.  I would never do that.  I'm just busy cramming for Agribusiness, Microbiology, and Genetics. I'll still be around, just not as frequently as I would like.  But I'll do my best.

Good luck to everyone else taking tests or finals! You can do it! If you're not cramming for school, what's new with work? Anything new with the family? Tell me something good!
