School is almost done for the semester! I cant wait tomorrow is like my last final day of school! then this weekend and finals! WOO WOO! haha well anyways so my friend Amanda from back home is coming to see me next friday. i cant wait its going to be so much fun. she has been a really big part of my life since 9th grade and has been there for me and my family. its been really hard living here and not being able to see her alot because i was so use to spending every min. with her. so ya she is coming up for five days. im so excited that i already know what we are going to do down to the tee. haha. she flys in on friday and im going to take her to meet some of my friends from here and then saturday we are going down town to do some shopping and so she can see how wonderful chicago! saturday night we are probably going to go back out with some friends and then sunday we have to drive down to iowa because on monday is my grandpas surgery!! Amanda doesnt know this but my grandma is getting a cake made for her cause it was her birthday last week. She is going to love it. As hard as its going to be waiting for my grandpa to have surgery im really glad that amanda took the time to come with me! i have my family there with me but its nice to have her cuz she can relate to what im going through because last year she lost her grandpa to cancer. well anyways its getting late....
