This is my last night of studying for a while and I am thrilled about it! I have been sitting in this same spot all night. I have moved all of one time. I take my last final in the morning. Whoop whoop! :)
Today has absolutely wonderful. No class for me today, of course. I went to eye doctor in Demop to get contacts and get both pairs of my glasses adjusted. I cannot remember the last time I actually wore contacts. This semester has been so busy for me that I have not made time to get them. I also got the oil changed in my car because I procrastinate and my car kept telling me over and over and over again to get it changed. So, I did!! While I about to get the oil changed, some white stuff came falling out of the sky. I think it might have been snow. haha! It snowed until like 2 something this afternoon. It was so pretty! I wish it had all sticked and been able to stay for a while, but oh well!
While at work, I studied for my final that is tomorrow. After I got off work, I went over to the farm of the family that adopted me. I was going to ride one of the horses, but ended up just feeding them instead. I will probably go try and ride tomorrow before I have to babysit. And now, as you know, I have finished studying for the night and I am going to head to bed soon. But something that stuck out to me today is how important encouraging your brothers and sisters in Christ is. I try to make it a point to encourage others, I do not always do the best of jobs, but I try. And this week others have been encouraging me and I like it! :) Another God thing that happened today is that I got MORE money in the mail for my trip to Asia. How amazing is that?? God really does supply all of our needs.

Getting Closer!!
I got the 2 shots I needed today. My arm is pretty sore. I asked to get both of them in the same arm so I would not have 2 sore arms. Bad idea. Oh well, lesson learned!
I got lost today for like the millionth time! I purposely 30 minutes early so I would be sure to get there on time or if I was early I would get seen faster. Well, I was like 10 minutes late. I was not anywhere close to where I needed to be. This is why my parents got me a GPS for Christmas last year. Come to find out, when I wrote down the address the office gave me I did not write the WHOLE address. Typical MaeLee. Hargrove Rd and Hargrove Rd East are 2 totally different places by the way. I was on the wrong side of town and by myself. Sometimes I am glad I am independent, like today. Oh yeah, before I got off on this exit my car tells me that I low on gas. Just great! So, in the middle of being lost and not knowing where in the world I am..I am looking for a gas station. I cannot find a gas station. I am worrying about finding a gas station because when my car tells me that I am low on gas...I am REALLY low on gas and it had been telling me this for about 15 minutes. haha! Finally, I just said out loud "God, please send me a gas station!" Then, BOOM! I turned a corner and there is gas station and a nice one at that. I did not feel like something bad would happen to me if I went there. After I got gas, I called the office that I was going to to get the directions I needed. She told me that I was on the wrong side of town and told me the CORRECT address. Needless to say, I finally got there and all in one piece. :)
After I got back from getting my shots, I got ready to go to a Christmas party with the Hoopers. Then, I went over to their house to help the kids get ready. We left and got there and the kids got to see Santa. Santa gave all of them a gift. Came back home and put them to bed and now here I am.
God is always with you, no matter where you are. You can always call upon Him for help! :)

Almost done.
I am one final down and one to go now. I cannot wait! I am leaving out of Livingston on Friday and it cannot get here fast enough. Oh, I have officially failed out of nursing school. There is no way I will be able to pass with the grades I have. So, I am in school for at least another year. Most people would be upset about not passing, but I am really okay with it. I have been so busy with school and studying and clinicals and work that I do not have much time for other things or people. So, it will be okay because I know God holds the plans for my life and He is in control of everything I do. :)
All I did today was take my final and work this afternoon. I got a little nap in. I have not had a nap in a very long time and it felt great! I have studied off and on tonight for my OB/Maternal/ Pediatrics final when I was not distracted by other things. haha! I seem to be easily distracted these days. But nonetheless, I still have to study. Blah!
Tomorrow I am getting my shots that I need to go out of the country. I know, I know..I am bad procrastinator. Anyways...back to studying I go.

Tied up
So now me and Tim are tied up on missing blogs. I basically purposefully missed yesterday's blog because I was too tired to blog and did not feel like staying up any later. Now, I am blogging because I am procrastinating from studying. haha!
Yesterday I spent the day with Melissa and the 3 kids(Hoopers). We went to Christmas on the River in Demopolis. We went 2 of the many parts of the weekend. The kids got tired and ill quick due to not having naps. We left there around 1:30 and went back to Livingston to put them to sleep. I left and got to watch about a hour of the Auburn game and had to head back to help Melissa because Archie V would not go to sleep. So, I played outside with him for a while to tire him out. I love kids and I would say that I love those kids more than any other kids anywhere, but I am always glad that I can give them back to their parents. I am not in that stage of life yet and I thank God that I am not. I love spending time with them and loving on them, but they are a ton of responsibility.
After that, I came back to my place to do more stuff. My roomie, Morgan, spent the night with a friend Friday and Saturday, so when she came in we talked for a long time about everything to catch up on the 2 days we missed with each other. I did not go to bed until after 1 AM.
Today I went and worshiped with my family here in Livingston. We had our meal after the service. I love getting to know everyone better, especially other families. I recently had a family "adopt" me since I am in the watchcare program and I got to spend some time with them today. The reason they wanted to adopt me is because they found out that I love horses and they have horses for me to ride. :) I also play with their grandchildren! So, this afternoon they offered to me to come over and ride and to bring friends. So, I did!!! I have not rode in a while, so I was pretty excited. Morgan was one of the ones to go with me. I wanted her to go because she has not rode a horse since she fell off one and broke her arm when she was 12. She rode today for the 1st time since then. Big accomplishment for her!
Since then, I have been studying for my nursing final that I have in the morning. I really do not want to be studying, but I need to. It is just one of those things I guess.
So, I am going to stop procrastinating and get back to studying I suppose. Hope your week starts off great!! :)

Dragging
I have stayed up way too late every night this week and today it caught up with me. So, I plan on going to bed really soon. There was no class or finals for me today, so I went to work the majority of the day. I got an invite in the middle of the day to go with the Hoopers for family night out of town. I, of course, said yes because I have not seen the them in 2 weeks. When I got off work at 3 I went over to their house to help the kids get ready while A4 and Melissa got themselves ready. We went and got Mae(4 y/o) from school and headed to go out to eat and shopping. Kids truly do say the darnedest things! haha! I have missed being around those kids! They are so precious! I was pulling in their drive and Archie and A5(2 y/o) were outside and when A5 saw me his face lit up! I love it! He came running up to me and just a jabbering.
Tomorrow I will be helping with the kids while Archie goes to the Auburn game in ATL. So, Melissa and I will be going to Christmas on the River with the kids. It should be a fun and interesting day. They always keep me on my toes, that's for sure! :)
So, like I said...I am about to hit the sack! G'Night!

Jokes
So, I am opening today's blog with a joke. My jokes may or may not be funny to you, but I like to laugh whether or not it is stupid.
Here it is: What is green and has four wheels?
Answer: Grass...I lied about the wheels. HAHA! :)
It has been a great day! I had two nursing tests today and I am so glad those are out of the way. The only thing that stands between me and Christmas break is my nursing finals. Finally! But, I do have to say that this semester has flown by. College in itself has flown by. It has gone so much faster than high school ever thought about going. And I was thinking today about how much I want to be 15 again. I just want to go back and live everything over again. There are a few things I might would change, but I have always loved my life. I am very content and satisfied with where I am in life now. It is an amazing feeling to be at complete peace and not stressed about anything. This truly is an indescribable feeling. I know that God is in full control of my life and He is leading me where He wants me to go.
After I took my tests, I went into work for the rest of the day. Got some good laughs there! haha! I am one of the 2 college students that work down there and everyone I work with is great! We laugh all the time. Oh and all the jokes we tell and pull on each other. One co-worker thinks it is always hilarious to turn everything on my computer upside down. Not cool because I can never remember how to correct it. I always have to get someone else to come fix it for me.
I have studied, made cookies, and watched "Morning Glory" tonight. Studying=blah. Cookies=yum! Morning Glory=great movie! :)
But anyways, I like jokes. :)

25 and 16
Today is December 1st! That means there are 25 days until Christmas and 16 days until I leave the country. Tonight it got pretty real that I am leaving so soon, which made me even more excited! :) God is pretty amazing!!
Today I got to sleep later than usual and when I did get up I really did not want to get out of bed because I was tired and it was freezing outside of my covers. So, I grabbed my laptop and made some pretty sweet videos of my friends and I dancing dressed as elves. Oh, I have been on a laughter kick the past two days and have not been able to stop laughing. Seriously. I laughed all last night like no other. I really am surprised that my stomach did not hurt today from all the laughing I did. And so when I made the videos today, I laughed even more because they were hilarious. After I made videos, I headed over to BCM. It was our last meeting of the semester and we had great food. Home-made potato soup and cornbread along with oatmeal raisin cookies! Good stuff!
Then, I headed to work for the rest of the day and studied for my nursing tests that I have tomorrow. Starting tomorrow I have to do some serious studying/reviewing for my nursing finals. After work, Morgan and I went got supper and ate and then did some more studying before heading to a college group bonfire. Turns out the pastor grilled hamburgers for us, so I didn't need to eat beforehand. Oh well! But we had smores, so all was well! Smores are my favorite! :) Morgan caught some marshmallows on fire and slung them at someone on accident!! It was pretty funny! And now, I have just finished up some more studying for nursing. It never ends! Today was full of great fellowship with my brothers and sisters in Christ!
