So Sorry!

I know, I know, I know - it has been MONTHS since I have last written here. But honestly, life is so busy at EC that it is very hard to find the time to get on here.
October was filled with midterm break and busy weekends and of course Halloween! Elmira was once again host to Columbia's trick-or-treating event which was a huge success.
November went by so fast! The first weekend I had the opportunities to go on the Washington D.C. trip. We left late morning on Saturday and got back at around midnight on Sunday. It was eventful and so much fun! I love the opportunities that EC gives me like this. It was the first time I was able to visit the capital, and it was nice to do all the touristy things. After that trip, it was time for Thanksgiving break - a week home that I spent doing work and preparing myself for finals.
December went by in a blur. After Thanksgiving break I had two weeks of classes and then finals. In the middle of that stress, I had a lot of fun. The first weekend in December is our Holiday Weekend. Friday is our Holiday Banquet. We get all dressed up in fancy dresses and ties and sit at tables of about 8, two of which are professors/faculty that carve our own personal turkey. Saturday night is the dance, another excuse to buy a new dress! You can dance the night away with all your friends. This December, my birthday fell on midnight breakfast - the Sunday before finals faculty and professors serve students at midnight so that they are all fed and ready to study the night away. Finals went by smoothly, stress-fully, but smoothly.
Now I get to enjoy three weeks at home enjoying friends, family, and Christmas cookies. :)
