So it's a new year now, and I start the new semester tomorrow morning when I have an alarm set to go off at 8:30. We survived the Mayan Apocalypse! I got straight As last semester (first time none of them were A minuses). Christmas break seemed to go by fast, though not quite as fast as last semester, possibly because we did so much traveling over ( Read more... )

It's been a while since I posted here. I kind of can't believe that I didn't even make a Christmas Eve/Christmas/New Years post since I've done so for the past four or five years I've been on lj. Wow, when I was writing my last post, I had no idea I wouldn't post again until 2012. To sum up some things that have happened since my last post: I won ( Read more... )

Another Christmas come and (almost) gone... It was quite fun. After a night of waking up a lot and hearing far too much of Madagascar 2, I wasn't as tired as I thought I might be when I got up around 8:45. Good timing, actually, because everyone else was up and moderately awake enough to start unwrapping presents without too much waiting around. ( Read more... )

It's Christmas Eve! Tomorrow is present time! And there are going to be a lot of presents. For most of the week, I have been preparing for Christmas madly. Shopping for hours on end, staying up till one in the morning wrapping presents on the cold floor until I brought them into the living room to watch The Dark Knight while I wrapped, cleaning for ( Read more... )

So today we had my dad's side of the family come over. They weren't here for nearly as long, but they did give us cause for a delicious prime rib dinner at three in the afternoon. Along with large amounts of cleaning, but that was actually good because now our house is nice and clean. For one, the boxes are out of the kitchen now. They're still all ( Read more... )

Wow. Christmas. And it's almost over now, at 11:00 at night. Well, now I don't have to worry about shopping for people anymore. Okay, anyway, it was a pretty good Christmas. I got a bunch of pretty awesome stuff, and there was only one slightly too-sparkley sweatshirt I'm not sure about. I had plenty of presents, and this year I didn't open them ( Read more... )

Wow, I can't  believe it's already Christmas Eve. We've had family over from Nevada already, and done some gift exchanging with them. (We actually managed to get a good amount of shopping done. The past three days, pretty much. Most of the Nevada folks' presents, surprisingly enough because they were pretty good quality, came from the dollar store ( Read more... )

Well, I survived finals week. Yay! Straight A's in everything except math, because I messed up on the final, which was apparently 25% of the semester grade. So I got a B, despite having an A for the entire rest of the semester... Yeah, still a little upaet about that one. Anyway, I'm now on break for two weeks, and so far I've spent most of it ( Read more... )
