Christmas 2007

Merry (insert preferred holiday here)!!!

I hope that everyone's festive season has been good to them.

It was good here, I've come home from school to hang out at home for a bit. I got home on Thursday night last week, and proceeded to be immersed up to my eyeballs in family members and decorating. It was my job to decorate the tree on Saturday, which I did...and I daresay, it looks nice.

Christmas Eve, my family and I went for Chinese - a tradition - and then to mass. It was a nice service, nothing spectacular or anything. Christmas morning dawned clear, snowy and bitter cold. In my family we don't give piles and piles of stuff to each other, we're kind of a one-gift family. Santa still comes, but he mostly just fills our stockings now. We, my brother, sister and I, are pretty accustomed to getting more out of being with our families then the things we get at Christmas.

We spent yesterday with my mum's family, in their B and B just south of Shelburne, it's a gorgeous old house, and dinner was fantastic. We had lot's of fun, and got to see some relatives we don't see unless it is Christmas or someone died. Saturday afternoon, we're all heading to dad's mum's place, afternoon tea and presents there, it should be fun again.

I'm headed back to school on the 30th or 31st of December, with my boyfriend, and we're going to spend New Year's together, it should be fun.

Right now, I'm actually waiting for said boyfriend to give me a call, and let me know what we're going to be up to tonight. I'm thinking a movie, since it's bitter cold. I can't wait to see him, it's been more then a week since I've last seen him, and I'm hoping that we'll get a chance to see each other a couple times before we have to go back to Waterloo and he goes back to work on the 2nd. I miss him, a lot.

Anyway, it's almost dinner time, and there's no turkey to be had...but that's okay, I got my fill yesterday.

Ta...

It's exam season again, and I am once again, stretched for time. I have two exams tomorrow morning, neither of which I am ready for, but will do my best on. I have gotten one mark back, from the exam I wrote last Saturday morning, and if it's any indication of the rest of the them, I should be okay, maybe not fantastic, but at least my GPA will go up, a little. And that might be the difference between staying in my program and switching out to somehting easier.

It's snowing now, coming down in big, soft, fluffly flakes...the kind of snow that I like more than any other. It makes me think of being at home, curled up with a good book in front of the big picture window in the living room, watching the snow fall softly on the cedars. I can't really see anything out of my window here, it's small and high-ish up 'cause we are in the basement of a house. *sighs*

Anyway, I should probably try and study.
