countdown continues

So it is December first... rabbit, rabbit, rabbit to you all. :-)
I'm in a pretty good mood today. The long break did me good. I spent all day Wednesday in the library... literally from 1030 until 615ish. I would love to say that after that my paper is almost done, but it isn't. However I did get a good start on it. Then Thursday Trav and I headed to my place for Thanksgiving celebrations with my parents, brother, grandmom, grandpa, aunt, uncle, and two cousins. It was great and the turkey was huge! Around 9 we headed home and hit the sack (because)...

Friday morning we got up early (i'm talking 630 in the morning here) to go shopping. That's right, 630am on Black Friday. Let me clarify... not my idea! But it was good, and we found lots of cheap stuff. Later that day we headed down to his grandfather's to see him and Trav's parents. It was good to see them. More shopping on Saturday. We actually got a good deal of Christmas shopping done this weekend. Then dinner (with Willy and Trav's parents) at the Mandarin, a really nice Asian cuisine restarant with everything from Sweet and Sour Chicken to Sushi. Mmmm. Yellowtail is awesome.

We headed home that night to see Marc-Clovis, and watched X-men 2... one of our new movies. Very good. Sunday morning Apoc came back, and we all had breakfast at Ginny's. Then football all day, of course! My Eagles won!!!! Those are my boys!! :-) Too bad they are not playing well enough to go anywhere in the playoffs. But I can enjoy their sucess now. After that it was library and then bed for me.

This week should be interesting... the last week of classes. I have literally been waiting for this week for about two months already. But now that its here, I can't believe the semester has gone so quickly... and I'm a little frantic to get everything done! I have a new calm since the weekend though. I really feel like I can do this, and like I don't need to stress out. I just have to keep working and pushing ahead... and before I know it... Winter Break!! Oh thank god for that! I am going to read books for fun, and job search, and do things I enjoy on the weekend - without feeling guilty!! :-) I'm so excited.

And I'm going to get my Christmas shopping done. So much to look forward to... I'm very excited.
