christmas time is here
boston is so fucking cold. and windy. and this is only the beginning!
what's been going down... i just recovered from a shittyass week. chris dropped out of UMass and moved back to connecticut, i've taken 8 out of 9 finals, my oboe broke about an hour before my jury, i missed my pianist's jury, my writing portfolio came out like shit, i had the flu, i caught a cold, and then i got pinkeye.
but things are starting to look up! i get to go home in t-minus 5 hours, mom and nick and brian and max are all coming to get me, i'm seeing tron tonight with my best amigos, my dad got me a blue bike from craigslist so now i can get around the city, and there's only one week before christmas! plus i have a whole month of NO SCHOOL!
