sorry!
I have been made aware of the fact that I haven't posted on here in "6 months"-- which translates as 3.5, I find, and am in danger of having links to my blog removed. So. I'm posting, if anyone still reads this thing :).So, um, starting way back there, my finals went alright, I think. Which means I didn't actually die during any of them, and I haven't gotten any phone calls about them, so I think I'm okay. Barring death or a belated failure notice, I'll be at TAC next semester. Which is next week.
Then I got home safely and uneventfully, where my family was very happy to see me. So happy, in fact, that I actually managed to hug each of my brothers for at least one third of a second each before he wiggled away to wash off sister cooties. Then, of course, they went right back to their fighting, screaming, and generally ridiculous behavior, by which I was forcibly reminded of just how awful kids are the week before Christmas. I tried to convince myself that I was angelic at the ages of 8, 10, and 11, whether it was Christmas or not, but was contradicted by my own treacherously truthful memory. Oh well.
Christmas went beautifully also. A beautiful mass, lots of family, lots of food. I couldn't ask for more. Then I got monkey slippers. Really, life is too kind.
Before Christmas I saw most of my high school friends at our 5th annual Christmas Dinner(it deserves caps because the food is just that good). It was a blast, and I remembered(again!) that I really need to call these awesome people more often during the school year. The White Elephant exchange was hilarious as usual, and I got a gift that will have to be re-gifted.
Between Christmas and New Years, I mostly sat around the house hanging out with my mom and my sister. I took my sister to see Narnia, which she loved, and stayed through the entirety of (three cheers for Seester!). I also went to Mary's house alot and played Magic with her and her brother Dominic. Way fun. I'll have to join into that at school, if I can.
Interrupting myself, I just read a few of my friend's blogs that i hadn't read in a while and am thoroughly bored by my post in comparison. Who cares what I did? I should be finding some sort of theme and expounding. Really, isn't that what blgos are for? I just post so infrequently that I never get beyond catching my poor blog up to the present on my affairs and actually post something worth reading. So I'm going to finish my summary of break quickly, then write another post about something philosophical. Here goes:
New years: went to aunt's house, watched Beverly Hillbillies for 1st time(hilarious), went to mass a Dominican Priory(beautiful), saw awesome 91 yr old priest hadnt seen in ages(his website is unbornpersons.org, go see it! He's the guy who converted Jane Roe and is really, really awesome and smart!), saw grandparents, haven't done anything else.
*breathes*
So, Merry Christmas everyone(4 days left!), and have a blessed New Year.
