Winter Break
So, the results are in, and apparently I managed to get through this semester relatively unscathed. As far as grades, at least. All A's and B's, even in biology. So kudos to me.
This Christmas was really good. I gave some pretty awesome presents, if I do say so myself. That's the best feeling, giving someone a present and having it being surprising and still exactly what they wanted. A lot of people tell me they hate how commercialized Christmas is, with all the pressure on buying a million presents for people just so corporations can make money. It's true that that happens, but there is so much fun to be had in giving the perfect gift. Of course, its not going to be any fun if you don't put any thought into the gift. So I always do, and it usually turns out pretty well.
I also got some pretty cool gifts in return. I got a bonsai tree, which I can add to the growing plant collection at our apartment. Right now we have some cactai and a baby pine tree. I also got the Imogen Heap CD I've been wanting for awhile, and have been listening to it pretty much nonstop. I'm so glad I got the CD instead of just downloading the tracks that I knew.
I would post what my New Year's resolutions are, but I don't have any. Other than the basics, I mean. Save money, get good grades, lose some weight, all that crap. Meh.
Next semester is looking decent. I've got Intro to Mass Communication, Algebra, Intro to Fiction Writing, and Japanese, of course. I think math will be the only thorn in my side, although I did opt to take it pass/fail. I am not looking forward to how much that book is going to cost.
But for now, I'm just enjoying the break. I'll be in Minneapolis for most of it since I'm still working, but I'm definitely available to hang out whenever. So, hope everyone had a good holiday season, and good night!
