Busy Christmas 2014

i woke up around 11 am. i spent the entire day watching movies with my brother and sister. we watched wreck-it ralph and skyfall. then my family ate dinner--just ourselves in our house. my dad recorded us on his phone, then made us watch the video during dinner. we ate turkey with stuffing, red and white rice, avocados split in half, salad with radish and carrot; for desert we had flan and peach pie. i drank the sweetest red grape drink ever.

after dinner we exchanged gifts for secret santa. i bought my dad the 3 film collection of lord of the rings because for some reason, even though he absolutely does not watch movies, he likes those movies. we put it on and the whole family watched the fellowship of the ring. my brother went off to go sleep halfway through; my sister went to see her friend a little after that. i enjoyed the movie -- being the first time I've ever seen it and paid attention.

now i'm typing this in my room, waiting until tomorrow when my friends are doing a white elephant gift exchange. i bought 3 dvds at best buy for $9. the gift exchange is at 7pm at my friend sandi's house.

 then, after that, it's on to new years. after new years, school will begin again (on the 6th, i think). after that, it's weekday classes and studying and driving to and from school, and not much else. in the spring, i'll graduate. if all goes to the current plan, and if i'm lucky, a few months after graduation comes grad school at the same college. then the cycle repeats, and so on.

phew. it just keeps going.
