So all my procrastinating in the beginning of last week really came back to bite me in the ass and face and my most private of parts. Because I didn't get to finish a 30-50pg term paper before the barrage of oral and written exams came my way, I won't be able to make it back to my family's home before the 23rd. I know it's just two days later than planned but that is also two days in which I have beaucoup d'added stress and in which I have to buy my own groceries and get dressed every single morning, cripes.

This time of year makes me very happy that I do celebrate Christmas. I have many friends who celebrate Hannukah or Russian New Year or nothing at all and they never seem so terribly attached to their holidays (if they have one). While I am not religious at all, I do enjoy the family get-together-ness of it all and I especially love the overuse of Christmas tree lights.
