Finals are one big party

I had told myself that on Friday, December 5th would be the last night I would drink/party/have a jolly time before finals started. HA! That clearly went down the drain. Hehe, because I went to Tombs last night with some friends from Spain and of course you run into about 10-15 other friends from campus. Had an amazing time! Now sadly its time to get back to the books, studying and papers. I'm not sure why I spent Freshman and Sophomore year always studying and not going out. I was always stuck in the mode that my parents pay for my education so I can get educated, not learn to party and drink. Somehow between sophomore year and senior year I learned to appreciate life more and to live life more. Maybe it was spending a year abroad that really opened up my eyes to the reality of life. I was miserable then, never really enjoying what college was supposed to be. Now I feel like I am enjoying and living the college life. Even though I didn't really realize this until 2nd half of my study abroad experience. All I can do is to enjoy my second semester that I have left here at Georgetown.
