Lucky stars

[michiko147]

I've done about three things on break so far:

1. Watch Moomin
2. Drink tons of tea and coffee
3. Origami

Doing all three at the same time is best.  It's the magic solution to stress.  I bought fifteen bottles for the origami stars I've made.  I've made about 500 stars in the past week.  Now I have hand cramps, but it's worth it. They're Christmas gifts for my aunt, cousin and some friends.  I think they turned out pretty well, but it's sort of a fact that colorful stars, no matter the quality, look pretty in a bottle.



The colorful one is for my cousin Ashley, the black and white one is for my aunt.

I got back my grades for the semester.  Overall, I'm disappointed.  It's been my worst semester yet.  Two As and three Bs.  I got an A in Japanese, though, and I suppose that's all that really matters.  I was so sure I was going to get a B.

Yesterday was a marvelous day.  I hung out with some family friends I hadn't seen in some years, played DDR, taught the girls how to make lucky stars and ate Baklava and rice pudding.  I love baklava and rice pudding.  SO MUCH.

Have a nice Holiday season, everyone!
