Another Christmas has come and gone. It was a good one. I was at home from Tuesday till Saturday. That's a long time for me. I have a hard time making the adjustment from having my own space to having people around all the time. I actually get somewhat anxious. It's hard to explain. It's not that I don't like being home - I love it. I just have to learn to better adjust to change.
But let's talk Christmas. The best part of Christmas is buying people gifts. I truly love it - one of my favorite things. The morning started off wonderful...I woke up and was told I could like the bowl of brownie batter. Heavenly. I got a lot of stuff this year. I was going to take a picture of it all BUT since I already put everything away I'll just write a list of what I got instead of taking it all out once again. It was more than what I deserve, and I appreciate everything. Be ready for a long, lengthy list: Sony speakers and alarm clock for my iPod, Digital picture frame complete with pictures reminding me of some awesome times, a duffle bag, water bottle, pajamas and related, sharpie markers, pens, toilet get!, a picture of a house (thanks Cory), A "ski day", Season 3 of One Tree Hill, digital camera, camera case, wireless headset for my cell, under armour long johns, sweat pants, hoodie, presentation mouse, fire starting matches, hell's kitchen for the wii, Quelf, bath poof, memory card, bag, and dishes. My grandma got me a towel with my name stitched in - I love it. I also got some other stuff from other gatherings.
After three days of Christmas festivities, it's nice to finally have some down time. Today was actually the first time on the holidays that I've really just relaxed. It felt good. Tomorrow my mom is venturing to the city - it will be good to have company again. On Tuesday I leave for Minneapolis and am very excited. I hope the weather is favorable for driving, or I will be very sad. Get to watch the Sharks play on New Years Eve! Can't wait.
The reality that school starts again in a week makes me sad. It's going to be a busy couple of months and I just hope that I can keep it all together. I don't want to dwell on it too much now because I do have a few days to enjoy before snapping back to reality.
I owe thanks to a lot of people this Christmas. I know I'm not the easiest person to be with, but somehow there are a bunch of people who are willing to put up with me. I appreciate each and every one of them: Mom and Dad for all that they give. They would do anything for us but more importantly are there to share in our joys and lessen our worries. To Cory who always has a way of making me smile and laugh. In his own quiet way he always manages to brighten my day. Christine who is one of the best people to have fun with (even times I can't remember). Things wouldn't be the same without her. My Grandma who has the best, and funniest, insight into every situation. She entertains me and means the world to me. And to everyone else just for being there.
Time to make a packing list. I hope the weather holds out. Please.
