Hark how the bells, sweet silver bells, all seem to say throw cares away!
I am currently struggling through a massive Asian studies research paper. I just need a few more pages in length, but I really haven't put in any citations. Sah-weet. The task at hand seems quite daunting, especially because I work tonight and the paper's due tomorrow morning at 9:00am. So, yeah...this is my way of distracting myself.
I have tried to make myself tea twice this morning, but both times I forgot about it and it got cold. I apparently suck at tea. I was really excited, too, because it's sugar plum tea. =( I am eating some prunes, though, and they are utterly delicious.
Matt and I bought and decorated our Christmas tree yesterday which is all kinds of exciting. it's a four-foot tall "magical" fiberoptic tree (I swear it says magical on the box!). We decorated it with Martha Stewart sparkley ornaments and tinsel, so our tree even has a bit of Satan on it. However all of the M.S. Christmas decorations were on sale, so what can ya do?
I had a good time being home for Thxgiving last week, and I am going home again this Wednesday night so that I can see my little brother in the fall play on Thursday night. He has a small part, but there are really no small parts, just small actors, right? haha Oh dear, I'm a geek. The sweet part is that he still has no clue I'm coming. I heart surprises!!!
I'm kind of freaking out about Christmas. It's just going to be really weird. I want to go to the late night service at my old church, but no one in my family really goes there anymore. I think I'm still gonna go. Then, my mom won't be home for Christmas because her present from my brother and I is a plane ticket so that she can go have Christmas with her family (she hasn't spent Christmas with her fam since I was three...). On top of that she doesn't want to put up a Christmas tree this year, either, because she says since she's not going to be there, what's the point. Well, the point is, I want a damn tree! How can you have Christmas without a Christmas tree?? Ahh well... Plus, I'm spending Christmas Eve and Christmas night over at my dad's, and I've never spent the night there before. Basically, all sorts of new and weird.
I am just overwhelmed right now with all of my school crap, so I'm just trying not to think about it. Actually, that's not true, I'm just only thinking about it day-to-day. Once I finish this damn paper I have to start studying for my lit final that's on Wednesday, then I have my Econ final the next Monday, and my Calc final that Wednesday. Somewhere in there I have to come up with concepts for and do the lighting design for a one act play that Matt's in as well as the Pace Christmas Cabaret. Once I make it through all of that, however, we're having a huge Christmas/my 21st bday party on the 17th and then I fly home on the 18th. Whew...plus somewhere in there I have to fit in some work so I can pay rent before I go home for Christmas...
Okay, I apologize profusely for taking up so much of your time and friend-page space, but if you made it through all of these words, kudos to you! If only I could manage to write so much so quickly for my damn research paper....

P.S. - today was the first snow of the year in NYC!!!
