Christmas

Well, now that the Christmas hustle and bustle is over, I finally have time to blog. After attending NINE holiday dinners in four days, with one whose date is TBD, I'm exhausted and tired of spending time with family! I've also developed a habit of not sleeping until 6am. That pesky Zelda: Phantom Hourglass game I got for my Nintendo DS just won't be put away. 
I got lovely things, and 70 bucks in Chapters dollars. Grandad gave us all pocket knives and tire gauges, which is better than the headlamp fiasco (which happened twice I think). Poor Grandad, he tries so hard. 

All in all, Christmas was good. I'm stuffed to the gills and don't feel like I can ever eat again. I had the whole week off work and it was so nice!

I work every day in the upcoming week, and I'm also house-sitting with Chris in Ahmerstburg, as well as getting ready for school and putting the finishing touches on the magazine. It was a nice break. =)

I'll be back more frequently I promise!

Must Love Art

Seriously, when I signed up to do the layout for The Student Magazine, I did not sign up for artwork. I don't like pictures/artwork interspersed in my text, so I don't want to make the magazine look like that. Now, I know everyone else likes artwork, but not me! So everyone else should do it my way.

I was up until 3am, working on layout/doing nothing. Then I went to sleep and slept straight 'til 9 and then off and on until 1 when I had to pee so I got up. Now I'm just chatting on MSN and checking Facebook and email messages, and then I'll read for a bit.

Chris is in court RIGHT NOW to fight his driving ticket. I hope he wins. It was his fault, but he was worried about getting hit from behind. No one got hurt, there were hardly any damages to the lady's car - and he's already suffered enough. Let the boy drive!

This evening I am going to the mall with Amanda. She has to get her boyfriend's Christmas present, plus she misses me, so we're going to hang out. It's almost Christmas time! Amanda goes to the college, so she finished exams over a week before I did. I'm done, Chris is done today, and all our sad little friends are still working away. Ha ha ha.
