'Tis the Season

Okay, I have decided to type this up using the key which I unceremoniously omitted in my last post. Already, it's helpful. Oh, sweet L key, I love you so.

Anyways, I've been crazy busy these past couple of days. Well, mainly yesterday. But I completely forgot to type up an entry. My bad. I should be poked with a kazoo in the arm. That's how bad a person I am. I deserve such a horrific treatment. Shame on me. Anyways, I thought I'd do a quick overview of what happened to warrant such a horrible act so as to miss a day. Then continue the narrative with what happened today. It shall be a long and harrowing tale, one of heroics, love, and woe. Only without the heroics, love, or woe.

My Saturday morning was pretty standard. Woke up, had breakfast, and started studying for my exam. All happy and good. Head out to the University to take my last exam (my final final, per chance?), and what should happen? Four car pileup. If you aren't aware, the clouds decided to dump about a foot of snow on the ground within about 24 hours, and traffic was complete and utter hell. I was smart and left for my exam early. I still got to my exam late. I was lucky the prof let me even take the damned thing, but I wasn't overly fussed because the exam was a piece of cake. It took me about an hour to do. Easiest exam ever.

However, I made the poor decision to give a friend a ride home from the exam. So I came out of my exam.... and waited. I went to the cafeteria, bought a coffee, drank it, and waited. And waited some more. Then I waited for a while. So I went to the library and read books for a while, until finally, at around about 4:30, my friend showed up and I could leave campus. After the obligatory sweep snow off car and scratch off ice, of course.

The hell that roads were to get to the university in the afternoon became nightmarish in the evening. Every single frickin' corner, I slipped on. And I have the best winter tires that money can buy! Driving my friend home took far, far too long. But I pulled it off and everything was happy go lucky. Until I got the call from my brother, who needed to be picked up, halfway across the flippin' city. Picking him up took me about a hour and a half in the conditions that we were driving in, and I passed about three accidents. I was glad that I was not involved in any of them (though I may have inadvertently caused a couple), but it was not a pleasant trip. I got home at around about 7, and then I proceeded to have to do a bunch of crap for my mother (she can be a little poor around computers). So I ended up hitting the sack at around 12:30. I will admit right here, right now, that posting a blog post did not even occur to me during that day. It was very busy.

Woke up this morning, and I had to go out again because I had a friend in a Christmas pageant. She played the angel. I was amused. Bright blue hair + Angel = Amusement. Then I had some more Christmas shopping to do, which was fine, I suppose. Didn't buy anything, but at least I looked for stuff. Then, me and the father went out to look for a Christmas tree. We found this massive tree (about 9 feet tall) that is probably the biggest Christmas tree that I've ever seen in my life. The thing is frickin' huge, but it was cheap, so we bought it. Boy, it's quite the tree. Then I came home and walked the dog. And then I started writing this, and I've been distracted about 16 different times. But I think I'm making headway. Woot.

Oh, and I should mention, I've recently become distracted by The Breakfast Club, one of the greatest things to come out of the 80's. So I've been watching Breakfast Club YouTube videos while I've been watching this. Yeah, my drive is my greatest weakness.

So, I think I'm all caught up. That should do me for the day. Tomorrow I shall discuss my new project for the time off between semesters: travel planning. It promises to be an interesting experience.

Oh, damn. I totally forgot to hit the publish button. Okay, so this is being posted about 4 hours after it was done. Yes, I'm a genius. I know. Go away. Bother Nathan. He's the one that actually deserves it. Let me sleep in peace.

Later
