Then it's the memory of our betters
That are keeping us on our feet.
You spent the first five years tryin to get with the plan
And the next five years tryin to be with your friends again...
I love the lyrics to this song.
Winter break was good. I love my friends and interesting conversations and reading lots of books. Also, on Christmas day, my grandpa decided it was super amusing to text me and call me while I'm in the same room or house as him. He is adorable with technology.
I've been pretty restless this winter session. It's weird, cause I didn't have a roommate last year and my most of my floor wasn't there for winter, but this year I cannot handle it as much. Maybe it's cause I only have one class and it's not hard. But being so restless hasn't really translated into me getting much done. I finally got around to scheduling my damn Praxis exams, though, and I put some pretty pictures up on the walls here. That's something. I really like having time to see people and stuff.
My sister had to get her appendix out. Pobrecita. I'm glad she's feeling better. When I went home to visit we had a mini The Office marathon. That was fun.
I think the writers have legit reasons to strike, but honestly, I'm kind of glad the Daily Show and Colbert Report are back, even though they aren't as good as normal. I don't think I could've put up with enough ridiculous election coverage to keep myself reasonably well-informed and not go crazy without those shows. Also, speaking of TV, it continues to baffle me how Ricky has not been kicked off Project Runway yet. His clothes suck, and he has cried literally every single episode. Oh yeah, and I saw Juno the other week. Most of the soundtrack was twee as fuck, but I really liked the movie.
