FINALS

The downside of taking 21 credits is that I have 8 finals to take this week!! I am really feeling the pressure. On top of those finals, I still technically have 2 more days of classes, so I have the regular homework to do for that, and 2 more papers to write. This week is going to be so busy!!!! Plus, I am moving rooms this week so I have to find time to pack up my entire room, move it over to the other room, and have it all set up before I go home!!
I also have no motivation to do any of it. I just want to be home, but oh well, I will make it! However, since I did not want to do homework all weekend, Sharee, Mary, and I went and saw Pipeline Masters this weekend. It was so crazy! I have never seen waves so big. They literally were like 10 feet tall each time. When they crashed, they crashed hard. We probably were about 20 yards away from the shoreline, but had to quickly stand up when the tide came up because it was going up that far! I cannot believe how good all those surfers were. I can only imagine what they must go through. Those waves are huge and usually after they finish their run, they jump off their board (or the ocean throws them off). And Pipeline is a famous beach, but it is also known for its huge coral reef. Just imagine. The waves are so huge that when they crash, you get pushed into the reef that is right there!! That has got to hurt. They paused the competition once or twice because one surfer hit his head on the reef, but they kept on going shortly after.
It was such a fun and relaxing weekend. I cannot believe that this weekend will be filled with goodbyes, cleaning, packing, and flying. I am so excited, but I have to make it through this week first. It will be the craziest week yet, but it will be worth it!! I cannot wait to be home for the holidays.
