A Round of Applause

....because today is the 8th, which means I've made it another 4 straight days without updating.  I think I'm beating this addiction, folks.  The patch is helping.  Just remember when you're ready to stop blogging:  You can do it.  Xangarette can help.

In other news, Christmas is almost upon us.  Things on the list this weekend: our Tübingen Christmas market and some Christmas shopping for presents.  Other than that, catching up on homework and cleaning up my room.  It's finally sinking in that I am actually not going home for Christmas this year.  I was listening to Christmas music the other day and Bing Crosby was crooning "I'll be home for Christmas" and I just thought, "Well woo-hoo for you, ya lucky bastard.  Now shut up and sing White Christmas."

I shouldn't complain though, because I chose to stay here and I am excited to go up north and stay with Matze's family.  Although I am still nervous about skiing in January in the Czech Republic.  I can't ski, so I'm sure that myself and the others who can't ski on the trip will be providing the entertainment for those that can.

It's also finally sinking in that life at ASU is going to be much, much different when I go back.  I think the best years of college just might be over, and for that matter, college ITSELF is almost over.  What the heck is up with that?  I'm not ready to graduate!  What happened?  Where did the time go?  At this rate, I'll wake up tomorrow and be married with children and a mortgage.

Okay, on that thought, I think I need a drink.
