on the eve of the eveIn the midst of the hectic rush leading up to Christmas, the true spirit of the holiday is often forgotten.
I have been to town every single day of this week for assorted reasons - meeting up with friends, school-related meetings, christmas shopping, and I am thoroughly pooped. I'd rather stay at home, curl up in bed with a book or watch cable, instead of braving hazardous conditions - traffic jams, screaming children who run everywhere and sprawl inconveniently on the floor, long queues, too many people who walk too slowly and talk too loudly. I found myself with a shopping-induced headache today, but at long last my Christmas shopping is finito!
I came home to a nice fat package sent by Bel that was filled with my Christmas presents to myself. :)
Another nice thing, I got the timetable I wanted for next semester. Now hoping to get the electives I want.
There are presents to wrap and cookies to make but I'm feeling slightly cranky because of, arghhh, some rude and mean people who dampened my spirits. And maybe a little selfish too - after running errands for other people who aren't thankful for it at all and my phone ringing to the point of me cringing at my ringtone I just want to be left alone for awhile.
I don't have scrooge-ish tendencies, I'm just tired. Glad, though, that I got to meet up with a good number of friends, catch up with them before school starts and have a good time in general.
