It's Beginning to Look a lot Like Christmas!

Well, school has been full of disasters...well, at least the study of them. It has been incredibly fascinating to learn about issues that I didn't even know existed. (I am also happy to brag that I got 100% on my stats midterm, and 96% on the final. If you know me and numbers, this is the first time in my life that we have gotten along).

Because DU is on the quarter system, we have had a nice, long Christmas break. I finished my last final a couple of days before Thanksgiving, and have had the rest of the time to enjoy the holiday season (with a few hours of interning and volunteering in there to feel semi-productive). I've spent the past week in Vegas visiting all my friends and family that I have missed like crazy these past four months. Nothing says "Welcome Home" like getting mobbed by an entire playground of kids!

Before I left Denver I tried to get my little apartment in the Christmas spirit while keeping the starving student budget in mind. Here are some creations that I put together (mostly) using materials I found around the house.
(I folded scrapbook paper into 3-dimensional stars and strung them on gold gift-wrapping ribbon with some gold ornaments. I printed the letters from Microsoft Word and strung them on more of the gold ribbon. Add some lights, and voila!)
(I put some extra stars and ornaments on a platter for a table decoration).
(My personal favorite: I found this dish towel at a fun little store one day, stretched it over the top of an IKEA canvas print, and hung it on the wall!)
Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas from Denver/Vegas/Provo!!!
