In ONE week it will be over...
In hiding for just one more week...
Thanks to family & friends who have wished me good luck on finals bc I DEFINITELY need it!!
The only things getting me through this week are:
(Christmas card from the fam...it's a Christmas cat!
)
and yess...my mom hand wrote "& sister" on to the card! ahha
Opto Holiday Party
Spontaneous fondue night using my crock pot, gouda cheese, potatoes, hamburger buns, and bagels!
-UCLA football team ringing the victory bell
5 of the 8 of us will be reunited once again....
it's simply been TOO long! I miss you gals & Yui! haha
Wish the rest of you could be here!
Did some good Christmas shopping w/Aileen & Diana the Friday afterThanksgiving, but just wanted to put this out there as probably the saddest Christmas song I've ever heard, but also one of the best:

The Christmas Shoes
It was almost Christmas time
There I stood in another line
Try to buy that last give or two
I'm really in Christmas mood
Standing right in front of me
Was a little boy waiting anxiously
Pacing around like little boys do
And in his hands he had
A pair of shoes
And his clothes were worn and old
He was dirty from head to toe
And when it came his time to pay
I couldn't believe what I heard him say
Sir I wanna buy these shoes for my Momma please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry Sir?
Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes will make her smile
And I want it to look beautiful
If Momma meets Jesus tonight
They counted pennies for what seems like years
And cashier says son there's not enough here
He searches is pockets franticly
And he turned and he looked at me
And he said Momma made Christmas good in our house
Most years she just did without
Tell me Sir
What am I gonna do?
Some how I gotta buy her these Christmas shoes
So I lend the money down
I just had to help him out
And I'll never forget
The look on his face
I know I won't regret some help as he thanked me and ran out
I know that God sent that little boy to remind me
What Christmas is all about
Sir I wanna buy these shoes for my Momma please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry Sir?
Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes will make her smile
And I want it to look beautiful
If Momma meets Jesus tonight
.... I am so freaking lucky and blessed to be where I am right now
& be surrounded by such special people . Thank you from the bottom of my
!
Thanks to family & friends who have wished me good luck on finals bc I DEFINITELY need it!!
The only things getting me through this week are:
- This little critter & returning back home:
(Christmas card from the fam...it's a Christmas cat!
)
and yess...my mom hand wrote "& sister" on to the card! ahha
- These little critters & our crazy procrastination tactics:
Opto Holiday Party
Spontaneous fondue night using my crock pot, gouda cheese, potatoes, hamburger buns, and bagels!
- Drinking all this wine I bought from our class trip to Napa Valley:
The football victory of UCLA over USC!!
-UCLA football team ringing the victory bell
- But MOST of all....I'm looking forward to this APC SF reunion:
5 of the 8 of us will be reunited once again....
it's simply been TOO long! I miss you gals & Yui! haha
