I haven't updated in a while. Mostly due to being extremely busy with exams and getting ready for Christmas.
Exams overall went really well. My Climatology exam was about what I expected so I figured I did fairly well on it. My Meteorological Instruments exam was a little more difficult than I expected but I seemed to have still done decent on it. My Physics exam was actually easier than I expected. I would say it was our easiest test we had all year and since I ended up with a C in there and I had a D going in then I easily must have gotten my best grade on it. I didn't have to take my Calc. II exam so I was able to leave campus on Wednesday afternoon.
Since arriving at Cathy's we have gotten her Christmas tree. We put it up and decorated it along with the kids help. We also put some Christmas decorations outside in the yard. Friday William, his friend, Adam, Cathy's friend Ken, and myself went outside and played some football. William and his friend beat us, but that was partially due to them being in better shape and having more energy towards then end and also once it got dark I couldn't hardly see the ball to save my life. On Saturday we went to the mall and did some Christmas shopping and I ended up spending about $400 which only about $80 of that $400 was spent on a present that I was getting for someone. The other large chunk of that money was spent on stuff that Cathy needed to buy. Reason Cathy couldn't pay of it was because she lost her license and therefore couldn't write any checks. Her credit cards are already over charged so she couldn't use those. Cathy on Thursday won her court case for child support against her ex-husband and will get about $4000 all together. So when that money starts coming in she will pay me back.
On Sunday I went to Jacqueline's horse back riding lessons since I knew I probably wouldn't have time to next week. A little while after her lessons the kids and I headed off to the movies to see that new "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe" movie. We all seemed to enjoy it. I only remembered little bits of the book before going into the movie so I can't really tell you if it follows the book very well or not. The special effects were really good the only negative was the fact that the sword fighting seemed really fake as you could tell that most of the actors and actresses hadn't had a whole lot of practice of how to use one. But, overall I would recommend it. Once returning from the movie we headed off to the store to pick up some groceries for the week.
My parents are due in here on Thursday and will be here through the 22nd in which I will head back down to Orlando with them for the rest of my winter break. That is pretty much all the post worthy stuff I have unless you want to here about Jacqueline's non-stop whining which I figure you don't. I will try to post sooner next time than I did this last go around.
