Long time no see my seemingly forgotten friends,
I realize it's been a while since I've posted anything but I have been distracted. To catch you guys up I had a great Thanksgiving. I actually ate food on this occasion so that is a plus. I am such a picky eater that I ususally eat very little on Thanksgiving but I must be getting better with foods that I will eat. It's not about the taste with food, its the texture. Something could taste really, really good but I can't eat it because the texture is unbearable. And I know I am not the only person out there who has the same difficulties with food in this way. I googled it. It happens.
I am finally done with the semester! I survived my British Literature class but I don't know what grade I recieved yet. I am a little upset about the "B" I recieved for my Creative Writing class. That was my fun class. Fun classes are supposed to be easy classes. I still don't know how exactly he graded for this class because I never once recieved a grade as feedback for my work...just criticism. Not cool old guy professor, not cool. I would like to say that I really don't care at this point because at least it's all over buuuut I'm kinda sorta fucking pissed. I don't get "B's". I just don't. Not in classes I enjoy and actually try in. But maybe next semester will be better. I believe I will be taking:
Into to Astronomy
Criminal Justice
American Literature II
and...a Psychology class...(I will have to look that up later...)
I should also mention that I am no longer going to try for a double major in English and Psychology. I would have to take waaay too many English classes to get that doen so I am now going for a Psychology major with an English minor. Oh hey I remember now! It was Psychology Statistics...that is gonna suck. I was going to take more classes but Statistics and Astronomy are most likely going to take up enough of my time as it is, so my advisor suggested only taking the 12 credit hours. I took her suggestion but I probably could have handled the 15 credit hours. I mean, it's not like I have a job or anything taking up all my time (ha ha).
But enough school talk! What I should be talking about is Christmas! It is only 6 days away now and if I had actually been updating this thing like I should have I would have had a countdown to Christmas, but oh well, too late for that. I just finished my Christmas shopping today and I can't believe it took me this long. Usually I'm done before December! I guess I've just been slacking off lately. But at least I'm done now. I'm practically broke but at least I'm done. Being a jobless college student I could get away with giving gifts that are the epitome of worthless crap but I could never do that. Christmas is about giving, not recieving and I loooove getting gifts for people. And I really love giving people thoughtful gifts not just something from the Christmas aisle in Walmart. And I hate giving gift cards. I don't mind recieving them but I hate giving them. That doesn't make much sense but it's true. Gift cards are too easy and I like searching for that perfect gift for someone. And haven't you ever noticed that people's reactions are different when they recieve a gift card? It's more like "oh thanx this is really nice", as opposed to "oh wow this is really cool I love it". But I guess some people might not recieve such a great response from giving a gift if they are really bad a buying gifts. Like I would looove it if my dad just got me a gift card and left it at that. Ever since my parents seperated and my dad has done his own Christmas shopping I've gotten some crazy shit. There was the year of the recorder, and by that I mean the plastic musical instrument. Then there was the year fucked up statue of a dragon on the head of a possessed looking lady with horns. Then there was the year of the other dragon statue, this one being broken. And then there was last year, the year of the snuggie. Last year I couldn't even hide my disapproval for this gift but I mean come on! Not only was it a snuggie but it was blue with clouds on it! He even brought up the fact that I didn't seem to like it later that day and I felt kinda bad. Whats even worse, I use the snuggie everyday...and I hate myself everytime I wear it...but I can't help it! As stupid as those damn things are, theyre so warm and comfortable. Luckily this year my dad decided to just give my mom money for gifts so I wont have to put anything next to the ugly statues. Yes, I still have those fucked up statues. I don't have the heart to get rid of them...
Well, I've been ranting for so long it seems that it is now 5 days until Christmas! So if you aren't done with your Christmas shopping by now I suggest you get on it and I urge you to steer clear of gifts cards and think outside the box this year.
Love and Rockets,
Mags :)
