Winter Break!

Woo! My first semester is over! I turned in my last paper at midnight last night. Fortunately, I didn't have to work today, so I could stay in bed all morning and read a novel. That was very happy. I bought The Truth About Forever by Sarah Dessen with my gift card (thank you again!) a while ago while buying Christmas presents and it has been patiently waiting for me to finish. Now I have to spend some time cleaning, since I've been ignoring everything and the place is a complete disaster. But that's what this afternoon is for! Music and cleaning. And then some movies. :) I come home Sunday night and I'll be home for a week. I'm definitely going to come by the library at least once. Too bad I come home late Sunday and you're closed Monday or I might stop by for some books. Hehe. My winter reading list is quite long! I'll never get through it all, but that's ok. Top of the list is Golden Compass. Oh yes, I also bought myself a paper Christmas tree, which I will set up as soon as I've cleaned a space for it. How could I resist a Christmas tree in-a-box?? With origami ornaments no less. Oh! And And And. I'm so excited I cannot say. I'm going to be my brother's witness in his wedding in April. That made my day Monday when I was writing papers, let me tell you. *sigh* :) Now I'm off to do something else. It's fun trying to do three things at once. :)

Finals

Final papers due one week from today. Will try to remember to give a real update after that. Hope everyone's having a nice holiday season so far!

December

The months are just flying by here. I am reading Octavian Nothing, which is good so far. Impressively long compared to our other class novels though. Go and Come Back is our other book this week, which looks good too. I'm not very interesting this morning. Three more classes this semester. Bunch of reading, three more papers varying in length from very short to reasonably long. Then Christmas! Magpie still hasn't gotten back to me about the week after Christmas, but I'm going to talk to my parents about flight plans tomorrow anyway. I can only wait so long to get tickets after all. If you're interested though, go here: http://community.livejournal.com/magpie_store/
to see some of the neat stuff they sell. It's really quite a range from the 'I could make that myself' to 'Someone made that by hand?!' Yup. Anyway, fun as this is, it isn't getting me into my productive day mode. Later!
