Old and New
It's been forever since I last updated. Of course, I always seem to write that when I make a new entry.
Christmas was probably the best I've had in years. I got most of the shopping done before Christmas eve unlike past years where I was still shopping till the stores closed. It was just very relaxing. I got everything I asked for -- a new laptop (although I can't plug in my keyboard and I have to use the one from the laptop and it majorly sucks!), a scanner, Fruits Basket Volume 6, a gift certificate to Waldenbooks and Borders, and the most important of all -- money. Which I need because not only did I buy present for others, I also bought all seven volumes of the manga Alice 19th, the first three volumes of Imadoki Nowadays, and Kaiken Phrase volume 5. And each volume is about 10 dollars a pop, so I ended up spending well over a hundred dollars. I was going to buy the volumes of Bleach that had been released, but I didn't think my bank account could take it. Although that didn't stop me from buying Samurai Champloo volume 1 which has the first four episodes of the series. It shipped yesterday, and I hope it gets here before school starts on the 18th.
Speaking of school, I passed all my classes, even Biology which I had been thinking of dropping seeing as how I could never get anything better than a high D on my tests. But I ended up with a low B for the class. I was surprised how well I did considering that on the final I went through pages of questions not knowing the answers. I just went along filling in random letters. Hopefully, this semester will be better. I'm taking Biology II, which has to better than the first one because I think this teacher actually hands out notes, Survey of British Literature I, and Intermediate Italian II.
Also, I'm going for my driving test this coming Wednesday. Which is kind of sad seeing as I'm 23. Better late than never I guess.
