And a One Horse Open Sleigh

Most people recently try to be politically correct by saying 'Happy Holidays' but I don't give a damn since the origins of this holiday period can be traced to Christianity. So here's wishes from an apathetic Christian,

Merry Christmas to you all! God Bless!

Hope you have achieved all your goals this year. No matter how this year has treated you, we can all say au revoir to it, not look back, and do it better in '07.

WooHOO!!

All my exams are over, in fact they were over on the 8th.
Its just a waiting game now, ugh... and the anticipation is killing me! I check my grades every damn day and somehow hoping that they're not published yet.

For the past 3 years, every semester before I drag my ass onto the "green mile" and into those dreadful exam halls, I faithfully jot down all the things I want to accomplish after my exams (an excuse not to concentrate on studying). Here is my hopeful last list:

THINGS TO DO:

• Plan the trip to Vegas and all the things you want to do daily.
• Get festive! Do lots of baking and decorating. Get cracking on that gingerbread house!
• Start training for the half-marathon.
• Find a job! Send out resumes like there's no tomorrow!
• Concentrate on doing the CSC. Read the books and do the quizzes
• Wash and clean 'Camelbak'. (You'd probably find this awfully gross since I haven't washed it the last time I used it in August.. hahahaha... but it says that the bladder is antimicrobial! C'mon!)
• Decorate my christmas tree.
  
• Do Christmas shopping! (I usually look forward to this event but not so much this year since I really should be earning my own money from now on. The only Christmas gifts I have gotten so far are for Dan - I'm still going to get something else for him too I think. *wink* - and an old lady whom I'm not really close to. One year, I gave all my immediate family members sweaters, how lame is that?!)
• Return book to Professor Harris - this guy never emails me back on when he wants me to drop off his book.
  

Decembre....

4 more days till my graduating paper is due.
Actually its 3 more days left but I like to count today as a day on its own, just to console myself...

I'm starting to think that the next couple of posts will be little snippets of my life that will document my last days till I graduate.
Guess what? There were 2 nights in a row where I only accumulated a total of 7 hours of sleep. I stayed up to finish off a paper on Economic Development: Alleviation of Poverty in Kenya, slept 3 hours and woke up to get to morning class.
You won't believe the amount of ache I had around my eyes from staring at the computer screen. Guess it was all the build-up of lactic acid. I drove to school and set in the parking lot for awhile till I had a pounding headache and felt like hurling. It was time to go. Drove back home and jumped into bed.
Wow... I work sooo well under pressure.

I didn't think the last semester would feel this bad. Maybe this is all just in my mind.
