Finals week has been a hectic, studious experience so far. Tuesday was reserved as a study day, and it was a very useful, necessary break from classes. Finals started on Wednesday, and have been going ever since. I have one more final left tomorrow, and then I am done with my first semester at USD. Wow, it sure has gone by fast. While I'm excited to go home, I'm not entirely ready to say bye to all of the friends I've made here. The community at USD has made the transition into college especially enjoyable for me, and the sheer friendliness of students and faculty here is awesome to be around. I certainly will miss my new friends over break. Happy holidays to all!
