Gracias, Merci, Danke, Grazie, Thank You.

Es ist gut. Finals aren't every very fun, but what makes them better? The same thing that makes everything better, COOKIES! more specifically, BUTTERCOOKIES! Everything is better with butter! :D So I wasn't planning on checking my mail box, but I carry this silly hope of mail, so I like to check it every few days or so, and usually it's empty, but yesterday, it contained MAIL!!!!!! WHOOT!

I got a Christmas card from my mom, :D :D Which I was uber excited about in itself, and it also contained the little slip that says I have something large enough it won't fit in our boxes! WHOOT! The little paper said "over sized envelope" so I was like...uh maybe someone sent pictures? or something from EAP or something, but as the guy fished out through the packages, he brought out this big envelope with what looked like some sort of square box inside. So I get back to the apartment and open it up and it's a BOX FULL OF BUTTER COOKIES! Home made from my Auntie Karen.

I feel soooooo good right now. I don't know if good is the way to put it, probably not...but then again I'm a marine bio major, not a lit one. LoL I just feel so special and lucky that I have such great family members. My aunt who mails cookies to me during finals :D and my aunt who sends me back to Santa Cruz with a cacti garden, that day and tons of awesome food to remind me of home and my mom who sends me greeting cards for Thanksgiving and Christmas and just because, just so I have some mail to pick up. :D

That's definitely a huge part of my life, but also my college life is awesome. I'm going through the motions of classes, and that's the "work" hard part of it, but the "play" hard of it is so good. Before I moved here, I knew it would be a change and everything, but I didn't expect it to be this good, and now that I'm here, I know what a unique experience it is and will be.

I am just really appreciative of all aspects and people in my life right now. and I am DEFINITELY not taking it for granted, I'm taking and holding on for all it's worth. :D

Cookie = Keks, auf Deutsch.

Wie schön!! (¡Qué bonito!)

Were the cookies addressed to "Teri's Stomach?"

... That is my dream. For a food to be snail-mailed and addressed to mi estomago. ;-)
