First, thank you so much boheme06 for the virtual snowflake :)
Second, it's almost Christmas. Wow. Where did all of December go?
Third, got a C in calculus, thank God. I thought I was going to fail that class. But I'm happy I succeeded (or at least passed it) in the class because I'm not taking math next year (it conflicts with choir practice on Thursday nights) and I wanted to at least not fail a class. (Considering how I got an F on the last test before the final, I was very worried). I also got three A's and a B. Overall, I think I did fairly well :) so I'm happy about that.
Fourth, I have a month and three weeks off until spring semester starts again. Either I can attempt to work up my courage, walk into Barnes and Noble and ask if they're accepting applications or not, or I can take up a massive awesome knitting project. I'll try both. (I have this fear of asking people things. IDK why. I just do.)
I may also finish The Dresden Files series in my spare time and go through at least many other books. If I'm not catching up on TV shows either on DVD or on my DVR.
Overall, I have free time. I'm bound to be bored.
Fifth, my birthday was on Sunday and we had the Festival of Christmas Music at church (a weekend long concert. One performance on Saturday night and on Sunday it was the regular singing in the morning plus two more performances in the evening). Needless to say, I was totally exhausted Monday. But I managed to squeeze in some fun for myself on Sunday between 11 AM and 3 PM. I went off to Disneyland with my dad, got a birthday button, got annual passes (the last time I had annual passes was when I was 5, I believe. That was so long ago. It's fun having passes again), and then went back off to church.
Monday was more the day of fun for my birthday. I opened presents, went to Disneyland again (just because I could), and relaxed.
Anyway, I've got all presents wrapped and under the tree.
Also, thing I learned: people from the south barely decorate around outside the house for Christmas? (My mom is from Virginia and when she moved out here she would make fun of all the decorations. Hell, I would do. Inflatible Santas? They may look fun, but I wouldn't want one in the front yard.) Or, from what my mom told me, they would put lights in the windows and not do any serious/heavy decorations with lights like we do. (Also inflatible snow globes with actual 'snow' in the 'globe' that would swirl around. Looks fun from a distance.)
I really want to visit Virginia again and get in touch with my Southern roots. And visit Colonial Williamsburg. It must look really pretty in the winter with snow and everything.
Tomorrow I'm planning on hitting the bookstore for some personal shopping (like, say, a new copy of Catcher in the Rye) and maybe a few extra presents for the family if I see anything good.
Also, knitted my dog a sweater! I need to take pictures and post them up, but he looks so cute in it. I doubt if he'll ever need it, as lately it's been more windy than chilly, but there could be a time when it's really cold and he'll need it. So at least I know he has a sweater if he's really cold and he can use it. Or I can make him use it. I tried it on him when I finished it and he wasn't attacking the yarn, so that's good.
Right now I'm finishing up a scarf and I'm also in the middle of knitting arm warmers. I don't know when I'm ever going to use them, but they looked pretty and I wanted to knit the pretty and use a cable needle.
Until next time, hopefully everyone has a happy holiday/merry Christmas/feliz navidad/happy Haunakah/Kwanza/(I think I covered all my bases for holidays, right?).
