It’s Been A Long December And There’s Reason To Believe Maybe This Year Will Be Better Than The Last

For once, I think the above statement might be true.

Let me just say that there’s another reason that I haven’t been posting besides the obvious fact that it’s the holidays. I have no school work. Understand? Having school work is what motivates me to do other productive things besides the actual schoolwork. Seriously, when studying for my linguistics exam I think I almost wrote three full posts. Once the holidays ended and I found myself with no academic responsibilities…I found myself hibernating.

However, with school approaching and a holiday actually worth talking about, let us commence the posting!

Always Getting Better – Blue Rodeo

It’s been a good holiday, let me tell you. I feel good. I feel great. For the first time in a while, I can at least act like I’m happy. And that’s all you can ask for, I think.

Everyone came back to town. From McGill, from Guelph, and of course, from Queens. That’s not too surprising, but what is surprising is that we all miraculously managed to find the time to see each other. We watched a movie, we had dinner, just all those arbitrary things that make up the social experience. I didn’t really get to talk to everyone as much as I would have liked, but knowing that I still get that feeling of euphoria at the mere sight of my old friends made me realize that (CLICHE ALERT) the more things change, the more they stay the same.

An aside for Annia: That was one of the best lunches I ever had.

I haven’t even opened up any of my Christmas presents yet. As of this writing, they’re sitting in a bag behind me. I’ll get to them, but anything that I get will pale in comparison to the recent highs I’ve been experiencing.

I could go on and on about this, but I’m lazy and honestly, it’s all summed up by “my friends are cool”.

A Belated Christmas Skit – And yes, it has Will Ferrel in it. Surprisingly hard to track down.

One more flowery bit. These last two weeks have confirmed something that I’ve always believed in:

The greatest gift anyone can give you is allowing you to love them.

Happy New Year!
