Merry Christmas!!

Hello everybody, life's been busy and lazy over the last couple of weeks, but now it's crunch time. Thursday night I fly out of here, headed home for New Years.

But that's not the exciting thing. The exciting thing is that for the first time ever I'm celebrating Christmas far away from my family and everything, but that people here have conspired to make it fabulous. I've baked two batches of cookies, with two different batches of girls, and I've got christmas lights and christmas music. What more could I want? You should have seen the four of us today dancing around in the dark with the sparkling lights. Instead of being upset I was laughing hysterically. And that was only Christmas Eve! I've also had one dinner-party already, and another one is in the offing for tomorrow. None of this is very conducive to work, but you know, it's Christmas. You can't work on Christmas. So now it's 2:16 am, and I am sitting here dancing to some pop Christmas songs, talking to my lovely mother, and trying to think of how I will spend the rest of my evening.

Life is looking up. Of course, even though it's Christmas, I have class in 6 hours, but I can't take that too seriously.

It's fabulous how strange things turn out well, isn't it? We might even dress mona up as Santa Claus, although I think none of us have bright red clothing.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everybody! Enjoy it!
