I'm really looking forward to Winter break. I really loved the Thanksgiving break, and  I am really looking forward to break, because it means that finals are over and I can stop stressing out. I am really worried about my first finals, my grades are fine, but I am still worried about my first college finals. In high school I never had to try for my finals and I think that finals here are different and that I am actually gonna have to study. I have three actual tests, and one presentation and paper. I am really worried about working with other people on the presentation, because I have been really busy with writing papers for classes and studying for finals. I think that I am gonna learn to prepare earlier for finals and papers and use that knowledge in future semesters.

Over my break I was able to see one of the best movies that I have seen in a long time. I really love the Hunger Games series. I really loved the first movie and over my break I was able to see Catching Fire. I loved reading the books, and I loved the movies as well. Catching Fire had a huge opening and it had a great turn out and it had great reviews. I sometimes get bored in movies because I really like to do many things, for example I will do something I love I will still love it, but I will be bored of it and want to do something else. This movie was easily able to capture my attention and make me wanting more. I really loved the movie and I'm looking forward to the third movie even more now.

I have been really busy with Christmas with Wartburg lately. Since I have been busy this is one of the first times that I have been really stressed this year. It isn't that I haven't been busy all year, it's just that I think it is all final hitting me. My break was nice and helped me a little bit, but coming back today just made me realize how little time I have left in this semester and I think it just kind of stressed me out a little bit. People tell me that my sleep schedule can really affect my level of stress, sleep is not always m strong suit and sometimes my sleep schedule gets a little off. Since Christmas with Wartburg I have been way off on my schedule even more. I really love it here and I know this is just normal college stress, but it is one of the first times that I have noticed it affecting me.
