life...is....crazy....&....procrastination.....is.....bad
this is what i've concluded in the past 2 weeks. i had a wonderful time at home for thanksgiving break. i watched my best friend devote his life to the woman he loves. i within inches of men on skates trying to kill each in an effort to get a rubber disk into a 4 foot net. i got my annual "man" education in visiting my family's farm & hunting camp. and the past 5 days i've gotten a total of 10 hrs of sleep. in undergrad and high school i could get away with procrastination...unfortunately i can't do that in grad school...soooo now i hope to have learned my lesson for the rest of my education career. also i find it interesting that everyone wants to have meetings with you, the last week of the semester when everything else is due and you're crazy busy. it was a depressing week here at FSU w/ bobby bowden, the fsu god, announcing his retirement. it has also been a depressing month for western pa football fans...luckily we still have the pens to cheer us up. it's early december and i have almost all of my xmas shopping done...and it feels amazing...even if i'm now broke.
this is my favorite time of the year, xmas music, xmas movies (ELF!!!! :), cold weather....at home....this time of year in FL....MISERABLE....it's so stinken hot still...at least for me. i'm definitely not made to live in the south...i need cold weather or at least not hot weather all the time. we are getting an xmas tree tomorrow morning...actually dave is getting an xmas palm tree lol. tiff, my office buddy, and i decorated the office the other day. so it is starting to look a lot like xmas....and it makes me so happy. i love trying to find the best deals/bargains and trying to find the best gifts for ppl...i know it sounds girly...but actually i do it b/c it's a rush to feel like i'm almost stealing stuff...no i'm not a criminal, but it's a fun feeling.
i'm really excited for xmas break, kat and i are driving to her neck of the woods in MS for a week, then sis and i are driving home, then after xmas kat is flying up, then the 2 couples are all driving back to the south. well i hope everyone is having a great holiday season!
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!! :)
