Oh goodness. Finally starting to feel better. Unfortunately for my roommates, my cough persists at nighttime right before bed. It is usually pretty good during the day when I'm not talking. So it's dying away slowly. I still have a bit of a heavy head, but since my class load is really light I can sleep most of the day away. The rest of this week will be cake. I have convo tomorrow morning. Christmas convo on Thursday, which I may or may not attend... and that's it. Oh yeah, premarital seminar tomorrow night... but that's always a good and informative time. And it's our last meeting. So I can sleep all day long if I want to... and I probably will. I can sleep for hours and hours during the day and still fall asleep at night. I took 3 naps today... one for about 3 hours... and I'm probably going to go to bed soon hereafter. Being sick does wonders for my social life.

In other news, I am a very happy camper right about now. I was slightly disheartened to find out that my favorite Ralph Lauren pair of sunglasses had accidentally been stepped on. Very sad. It's hard for me to find good sunglasses that fit my face well because being asian I have very minimal bridge space and a rounder shape. But... I was able to find a new and better pair today! That's right, you are now looking at the proud owner of a pair of Nine West shades... square frames... tortoise shell... beautiful. I pretty much love them. And I had to buy a matching pocketbook of course! So I also have a new green Nine West pocketbook with several handy dandy flaps and enough space for all my necessaries. I had a great find while shopping. I've coveted people's knee high boots. My calves (if you know me, you know I despise my calves with pretty much everything in life) do not work too well with knee high boots. I don't like the way they look, sometimes they don't fit well, and it just isn't a good situation. But today, oh today, I found a pair. Perfection. Black... knee... high... boots. Yum. Matthew rather agrees. So schoolgirl skirts and knit sweaters here I come! Ah yes, I had a very productive day.

Oh yes, I also found the pair of earrings I'm going to wear for the wedding. Matthew is getting them for me for Christmas. It was difficult because I wanted my earrings and my necklace to match. Well, my daddy is getting me a string of pearls for the rehearsal dinner for the wedding. That will be my something new. And I wanted pearl dangly earrings. But seeing as how I'm not picking out the necklace, my daddy is, I didn't know exactly what to look for. I found the perfect pair today. They're made in Israel and they look a little artsy. I wasn't sure if they were quite appropriate for a wedding, but I tried them on and they're perfect! My bridesmaids agree. So if it's alright with them... then it's alright with me. Becca will soon be the proud owner of some beautiful pearl earrings!

I love my Matthew. Sometimes, ashamedly, I don't act like it. I definitely need to work on that. I am just a very selfish person. My heart needs a lot of work before the wedding. But I am slowly learning how to show my love for him all the time. Because I do love him. I truly do. Every minute of every day. I am so thankful for him. God really knew what He was doing. Who ever ever ever would've thought? Matthew Iveson and Rebecca Bonnell.

Finals will be a breeze. Since two of my classes were DLP classes and were finished at the beginning of October, I only had 4 classes still going. In one I had a last exam today in class. Just a typical exam, nothing special. Cake. In another class, I have to turn in an assessment I've done on a "client" for my final. I turn it in online. And that's it. It's for my social work class. Since I wrote up several assessment for my internship I know exactly how to format them and what questions to ask during the interview... plus I'm doing Matthew so it's been pretty simple so far. Cake. And very practical. My one day a week for less than an hour class (aka waste of time), well, we have a final. It's about 10 questions long... and it's open book. My professor thinks this class is a waste of time. And it is. I don't see why we just didn't have the final on the last day of class. It will take about 10 minutes. If that. Oh bother. More cake. And then I do have one cumulative final. We've only had 2 exams in the class... one of which was today. So I just studied all the second half of the book... and the first half is pretty much common knowledge. It's for my daycare administration class. This class I hated because I'm not going to be running a day care, but it is required... but the final will not be difficult. How did I get so lucky? CAKE CAKE CAKE!!!

My second to last semester of undergrad. And it's been one of the easiest yet. How did I get so lucky? I hope next semester is as amazing! And then it's over. I'm done with school. Not true. I'm going to grad school. Probably twice to get two separate masters degrees... but I don't HAVE to. So I'm done with all the education that is required of me. Wow. I grew up fast.

And in parting I will leave you with this. This Saturday... 26 weeks until the wedding! :) :) :)
