Tis the season!

This semester will be over when Christmas arrives, but I want to wish all my instructors and classmates a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year while I have the chance. I will miss you. Endings can be sad. Endings can also be happy, however. I will be happy to get these finals out of the way. Especially algebra. I am anxious to get the ethnology paper finished, but not because I dread working on it. I want to see what it turns out like too! I have had a good time working on this paper. I have learned a lot about the life and times of the Nuernberger family and their farm. I have heard so many stories that have made me laugh. Some are serious, but mostly I have come to realize that this family is all about enjoying life and appreciating each other and their friends. They are all willing to help anyone anytime. I don't think I will ever run out of questions about this farm and family, even when my paper is finished. There is so much to learn and so much history. I am so glad I chose this subject. The hard part is eliminating certain things! I don't have time to write a whole novel right now! Maybe someday. Who knows? The worst part is that English class will be finished before I get to witness an actual butchering season or planting season. Oh well. Such is life. Seasons come and seasons go.
