Christmas is coming!!!

Well, finals are half over, at least time-wise. I only have one final left, so for me I am almost done, but I have to wait until Friday morning at 7 am for that final. That is too bad because otherwise I would be able to leave earlier and hopefully get into Bismarck that much earlier, too. But, as it is, we will be leaving sometime after 5pm on Friday to drive back to Bismarck. Before that time, I have to pack everything. I am not looking forward to that at all.
Yesterday I went with my roommate, Heather to see a friend's band perform at the Muse. (Right- me at the Muse. There was a very distinct atmosphere that is hard to describe. But I think this picture captures it well). We got there on time and learned that no one shows up on time, not even the band! Just kidding, most of the band was there, just not my friend who got out of a final late. But we listened to music, took pictures, and had fun. She (Jenna) showed up about 30 minutes late. She sang one song and then someone else performed for a few songs. Then it was her turn. (Left - Jenna and her bandmate, Sabrina? I don't remember her name). It was very good. Unfortunately, all the music was very soft and had a slow tempo. Add to that the fact that I was very tired, and towards the end I was ready to go to bed. We left after 2 hours. But still, it was very enjoyable.
Today I took my only really difficult final, Russian 321 (grammar). There was so much information. I felt like my head was jammed full! But, I took it and that is what really matters; it is over. I think I did alright on it, though not as well as I wanted to. Still, I can't complain.
Also something unexpected happened today. A friend from work gave me a Christmas present. I was very surprised, but happy to get it. She gave me a photo album with scrapbook pages in it. It is very cute, and I really like it. It made me happy.
Tonight I am going to the TRC at the MTC to listen to missionaries teach in Russian. I haven't been to the MTC in over 2 years, so that should be very interesting. I'm excited about it.
I guess that is it for now. In case I don't get a chance to write, MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!!
