Rachael's Blog: Winding down to Christmas Break

This last two months have flown by, And I am now entering the last few weeks of my first semester of College here at WCU!! A lot has occured in the last few weeks alone and it is a lot to take in but I am so excited about the changes that have been happening. #1 new fact, I WILL be staying here at Western for another year so that I can get my Liberal Studies done. I will be living off campus in an apartment with a few of my friends and I couldn't be more excited about it. I didn't not get into App State, This is a decision I made on my own without knowing my admission status yet. #2 New Fact, I really am starting to like WCU. The longer that I am here the more I realize how important it is for me to find good friends and find something that I really enjoy here. My Friends are *{AMAZING}* and I am so thankful that I met them. We always have so much fun together and I really believe that I didn't get accepted to ASU the first time for a reason.

November: I went to Concord NC for the Renaissance Festival with Alison and Tay Jay (: It was a lot of fun and I'm so glad that I went. It was a new experience for me not being at home for a week straight and that was the longest that I have ever been away from home besides the first week I was on campus. Hannah, Alison and I made homemade Pizza and it was delicious. It actually kind of makes me want to make some on my own now. I am just so fascinated by Concord, I think it is so cool and there seems to be a lot of things to do that you can't always do it Asheville and for sure not Cullowhee. I got to shoot a bow and arrow for the first time which was pretty funny because I am terrible at it. I also got to see some really cool shows and Jousting. All in all Concord was pretty fun and I am excited to go back next year. Thanksgiving was fantastic with my family. We all got together and celebrated all we are thankful for. I went Black Friday shopping with my little cousin and my best friend and knocked out most of my christmas list. November was a good month.

December: December, December, December (: YAY YAY YAY , Not only does December mean that Christmas is only a short time away but It also means a month Vacation for me. 1 more week and exams will be complete and I will be headed back to good ol' Asheville. December Also means that My birthday is only a month away. I think I probably get more excited about my Birthday than I do for the break or Christmas in general. I'm so very excited about this month and all it has in store.

Over All the last few months have been hectic but so very fun at the Same time! Everyone wish me luck on exams.
