Holiday Follow-Up

Okay, so nothing got done over Thanksgiving Day holiday. I caught up on none of my homework. I didn't get to decorate the house--save for the tree...more on that later. I was driven crazy by my relatives. Typical house stuff.

Tues. went off without a hitch. Mom didn't get to apply for the tax advance, so any real Black Friday shopping was nixed--safe for Russellville Wal-Mart...ooo, fun. She's doing that this upcoming Tues. Long story there...I'm gonna skip right over it.

I'm finally coming up with Christmas list...

I saw Twilight on Saturday instead of Wednesday, which was fun. I didn't get to sleep in, like, at all over the holiday. Man, am I pissed about that.

Oh, and shopping with the those that I was shopping with...enough to make you go on a shooting spree.

As for the decorating of the house, half our ornaments are missing and Mom doesn't know where they are at. And these are precious ornaments that we've had since before I've been born. I got really depressed Sunday, half-assed the tree, and absolutely refused to decorate any more until they've been found. I was so completely depressed I didn't talk at all to Preston on the way to Florence.

So, that's my holiday in a nutshell. Oh, boy, I can't wait till Christmas!!

Tis the Season for...Eating Turkey!

Okay, so I'm still behind in two (technically) of my classes, but I'm not worried. It's not really as much as I thought. And I've got time, just not that much.

I check out of my dorm at noon and I'm gone home until Sunday sometime at 1pm. And I've got a busy schedule for the holidays. It is as follows:

Tues, Nov. 25-- Check out, pick up Mom from work, prepare shopping lists, check Christmas lights, make admendments to shopping list.

Wed, Nov. 26-- Go with Mom to pick up her check, shop for rest of Thanksgiving stuff, fill out for advance on Income Tax, possibly go see Twilight

Thurs, Nov. 27-- Turkey Day! Cooking, eating, cleaning up, sleeping

Fri, Nov. 28-- Black Friday! This is the first time I'll have ever shopped on Black Friday! I'm so excited! I really get to be the aggressive shopper I am because it's actually expected on this day!

Sat, Nov. 29-- Decorate my house for Xmas. One of my favorite things to do! This means listening to Xmas music and swearing at my decorations...and planning as I go...I love it!

Sun, Nov. 30-- Pack for dorm, get back to dorm, do any remaing homework that absolutely needs to be done.

What's great about this is my exams start Dec. 5 and I can check out of my dorm on Dec. 11. I only have two actual exams--and I've got a week to work on one of them. I have a book report, of sorts, due in American History I on the day of the exam--which is comprehensive. I've got a paper (8-10 pages) due in Chaucer by the 10th. And my Creative Writing Portfolio is due on Dec. 5. I also work in between these days.

So, gotta go now. I'm at work once again. Must go check email and harrass my fellow RPGers.
