So It's Different

Well, I talked to my friend Drew about this some this summer (because he is the same way, apparently), but it is so hard for me to get excited about some things. Now don't get me wrong - I get excited. And I can get other people excited about things. But for certain things, mainly things that other people are excited about before me, I just could not care any less. And sadly, one of those things is Christmas. I am so thankful for Jesus, and I love to show others how much I love them by getting/making them presents, but I get excited about giving people their presents, not about Christmas. I just can't do it, no matter how hard I try. I have no Christmas decorations around. I don't love Christmas music. I'm not a huge fan of Christmas parties. I don't know what's wrong.
Maybe I'm just too worn out to get excited. Maybe too busy. Maybe too selfish.
I don't know.
Boring.
Christmas is in like 2 days.
Wow.

So I Did it Again

Well. I let it happen. Again. I got distracted and didn't blog.

Howw in the world is this semester almost over? I don't remember most of it. Exams start tomorrow and I'm not panicked, which is good, but the fact that I'm not panicked kind of makes me want to panic. Irony.

Last weekend, Amy Jones surprised me and flew down to Birmingham to hang out. So much fun. We went "bowling" which consisted of us rolling a bowling ball that I found in front of Pittman down a huge hill, aiming for the two trash cans from my bedroom, while wearing ridiculous clothes. On Sunday, I think Amy and I drove all around Birmingham looking for Christmas presents for people. I am psyched about several presents. Amy is the best. Also, Bryan's sister-in-law had her baby at St. Vincent's right down the road, so I got to hang out with him for like 30 minutes on Thursday. It was very refreshing to hang out with Noah's people again, even though it was so short. A little wave of the summer. I got really excited talking about this upcoming summer, but I need to remember that there is a whole Jan-term and semester that I need to live in, not just wish away and skip through. It was kind of weird having two very different worlds collide. Not bad, just odd.

We took Christmas pictures Saturday night. They're funny. Not nearly as cheesy as I would like, but they're good.

Today, when I was cleaning out the back of my car so Kaleigh and Courtney could ride with me to Zaxby's, I found a 2 and 1/2 month old pint of ice cream underneath my seat, that Kaleigh and I got for Courtney 2 and 1/2 months ago and thought we left it in the store. Nope, in my car the whole time. For some reason I smelled it after we opened it, when we got to Zaxby's. It smelled just like you would think a thing of ice-cream that old would smell. Fantastic. Vomit.
Also, we may or may not have taken the avalon off-roading. I do not know what possessed me.
I spent today making a list of all the reactions/mechanisms we've gone over this semester in Organic 2, because our exam is tomorrow. 98 reactions that take up 19 pages. Ridiculous. But I only need a 17 on the exam to get an A in the class, so I'm not too worried. But watch me not even get that. I would probably cry. And laugh.

This week Marge, Mary Grace, SB, Catherine, Ashley, and I are having our 4th (?) annual little-Christmas. I am so excited.

I think I am going to Daphne on Saturday. But I don't really want to. I think I am the only kid at Samford, or any college for that matter, that doesn't want to leave. I want to be done with class, but just hang out here.

Hmm. Kaleigh gave me a unicorn riding stick and a flask for Christmas. For the win. Except for the fact that I don't drink. The unicorn is wonderful though. Unicorns are by far my favorite animal.
