More complaining and more Christmas meme
I've had a bad two days. Over the past 48 hours, I spent...
24 hours working on my computer science homework
5.5 hours dreaming about working on my computer science homework
8 hours working on my animation homework
6 hours for in-class critiques
1 hour walking to and from class/restaurants/etc
1.5 hours relaxing (also known as eating)
1 hour mailing ebay packages because I promised a 2 day handling time
1 hour freaking out because I don't know how to deal with this type of stress. (Seriously, my bad habits are resurfacing.)
I know, I know. "What is the purpose of this post?"
Day 05; Favorite Christmas albums.
I don't really have one... Considering I can count on one hand the number of Christmas songs that I like.
Day 06; Favorite Christmas movies.
Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. It's a classic! Adaptations of The Nutcracker and A Christmas Carol are also good, depending on the version.
Just look at that face! He's adorable.
Day 07; Favorite memory.
I don't think I have a specific favorite memory, but I miss the days when I was excited on Christmas morning. Now I'm just tired and cold, and there are only two reasons I get out of bed:
1. Sleeping past 1-2 pm is kind of inexcusable, so I force myself to get up.
2. My hunger overpowers my sleepiness, so I head to the kitchen to grab brunch.
Day 08; A holiday dessert of your choosing.
My best friend makes the most AMAZING peppermint cupcakes. Those Andes mint cookies aren't bad either...
Day 09; Best holiday traditions.
For Christmas? I don't think my family has any holiday traditions these days. We used to go to my grandparents' house, but they passed away a year and a half ago. (I never enjoyed the trips, as horrible as that sounds.)
But this year I'll be spending Christmas with my aunt and my cousin. (And my cousin's kids. I can't believe she has kids now. That makes me feel kind of old...) I'm excited! Even though we used to have "family get-togethers" at my grandparents' house, it was rare that everyone would be there at the same time. Sometimes it was only my parents and I, since no one else could take the week off work.
Day 10; Do you give to charities or other people around the holidays? Which is your cause of choice?
My church always runs an Angel Tree charity. (For those who don't know, Angel Tree is a gift drive for children who have one or both parents in prison.) Last year, my family's assigned kid asked for Yugioh cards, among other things. Rock on, kid! Great choice in presents
And to make this post a bit less "baaaww, I hate winter", I give you the one entertaining thing I did today. Watch and be amazed!
THEY ARE ALL THE SAME! LOLOLOL
I think I realized this on some intrinsic level, but I never realized the extent of the overlap. Also, I recognize, like, 90% of those shows. I feel like such a nerd.
