…A court date that is 
Soooo, excited! My court date is next year! Which means, next semester I get to skip Physics and Spanish (maybe Spanish) cause it for sure conflicts with my physics class and I might not make it to school on time for my Spanish class. Also, it means I for sure don’t have to pay $145 before Christmas. Which then means I can buy Christmas gifts and food to eat!! Gawd, it’s like everytime I complain about my life then things seem to not happen as intended.
And, I might as well come out and tell something that’s related to my surprise but it isn’t my surprise that I’m keeping secret. So I talked to my professor and she said next semester I can volunteer in her lab. This is going to be so fun cause I’ll be working with people I already know and I’ll get good experience. Last week we took a lab exam, it was easy yet I’m still unsure whether I did good or not. Also for that class I’m the only one that’s taking my final exam the day before everyone else is. My luck ran out and all my class final exams fell on the same day, which is next Thursday but my biology class conflicted so I had to reschedule. So Monday I have part one of my Spanish exam, Wednesday my biology exam, Thursday my Math and part two of my Spanish exam…wish me luck that I won’t die. I feel unprepared for all of them. I’m sure to fail math, but I knew I’d always retake that class. Spanish, I think I’m on the border of pass or fail after my last exam which resulted in a 50% (that’s the exam that I forgot we even had to take).
So, tomorrow I’ll be stuck being online and studying. Not like I do that any different any other weekend, but you know what I mean 
Tuesday I’ll be going to a study session with people from biology for our exam. That should be fun, I usually don’t do study sessions but whatever, we’ll see how it goes. I highly doubt we’ll be talking a lot about work but instead more about whether the exam will be hard or not lol
Meanwhile in other good news, Christmas is almost upon us. As usual I have mixed feelings. Now that I’m older Christmas doesn’t mean that much to me. I’m also not religious so I don’t do anything special. Christmas has changed over the years. My family is apart most the time, either someone’s out of town or someone doesn’t celebrate it for religious reasons. I wish it was back when I was little when the whole family would meet up and we’d eat, I’d say a prayer and then open all my gifts. Then I’d go play in the snow with my cousins lol. This year, I’m lucky to even have snow!
Now Christmas is just me and my mom…sometimes I’ll see my dad but most years I won’t see him til after Christmas to exchange gifts. Then my mom has a life so she goes to a Christmas party for work or friends and I relax at home by myself. Almost every year I think about having a Christmas like everyone else where they have a huge family and everyone is opening and rushing to the Christmas tree in the morning. Unfortunately, my family is small to begin with and there’s no kids, meaning me and none of my other cousins have children yet to create a nice Christmas for them like we had growing up.
I feel like I’m meant to have one of those lonely lives, where I read books in front of the fire place on every holiday instead of having a family life and going to swanky parties. But, then again, when Christmas arrives and I’m home alone, I slightly enjoy the silence. I sort of treat it like every other day. But then I think about my prospects and how one day I’ll be married and have children and spoil them with Christmas gifts, only to get old and find that I like the silence of not having to bother with children on Christmas…ahhh…that circle of life.
Well, that’s about all I have to share. Now here’s a song, I absolutely love it. Especially the beginning of it. It’s called “Love me Girl” by Yeasayer (Click this link to hear it)
So Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays to all of you, if I don’t blog again before Christmas. If anyone needs anything, I’ll be at home doing nothing Except probably trying to finish all the level on this beautiful game called Continuity.
Heey Sensi! Happy too hear this news about the court date! And congrats on the job! That is really so cool and I’m sure you will learn tons of stuff! Not sure if you read my reply on my blog. I did look for a job related to my studies a while ago. But to be honest, I’m not that sure if I would be happy working in my field, maybe for a short while, but very long. Don’t get me wrong, I like Sociology and I see it as expanding of my knowledge, but to work full time…I’m not sure. We shall see! I also have a bachelor in Human Resource Management, so I can combine both my studies in one ^_^. Ooh the possibilities!
This year I’m sort of in a holiday mood. don’t know why it isn’t there like the previous years. I’m not religious, so Xmas is a time to get together and eat yummy foods and lovely drinks. Usually the whole family comes to our house and we have diner together. It is a lot of fun, but to relax, with good food, bake cookies and watch movies well that sounds perfectly fine for me as well!
Oh! An idea! I will grab the plan next year and we can stare at walls together next Xmas hehehe ^_^. I’m sure I speak to you before Christmas via one of the many communication means we use these days! So until then, I wish you all the luck with studying! Have faith and just go for it!
Ciao!!
Sociology is so interesting to me. I did a small study once of human behavior on buses. Can’t believe I was able to write 5 pages about it while finding nothing out of the ordinary. You can start working now and write a book about your work and make millions of dollars!!
And next Christmas, bring the baked cookies. It’s a very bad idea to stare at the wall when you’re hungry!
It’s really interesting to get an insight in how a society works and how it is shaped throughout the years. An individual is seen as a whole society and not as an individual alone. And since the behavior of mankind if unpredictable, continuous research is needed for policies and strategies to keep the society up and running. I can tell you that the way I look to my surroundings has changed greatly over the years. But I’m not analyzing every little thing though hahaha.
I was thinking of the following: cookies, brownies, muffins, cupcakes, chicken curry pastries, noodles, hot wings, popcorn….
Too little?
No that’s enough, you must be trying to get me fat! Well, through in some pizza too
Hey, I’d be lucky to have snow any day! Evil tropics …
I’m really not thinking of Xmas right now. There’s the tree, there are ornaments and even some presents, but I somehow wish I could skip the eve of the 24th, as I don’t really find it as special as when I was a kid. Maybe I could sleep it off and tie a “do not disturb” tag around my big toe.
Anyway, that seems like something for a future post of mine.
Good luck with your exams. I think I’m done with those for now, as I don’t know what college has in store for us departing students.
lol, you’d probably freeze cause you’re so used to being in heat. You don’t know how lucky you are, you’d probably be so sad without the Christmas experience and you know it
btw, if you write about that, could you get a picture of the “do not disturb” tag on your toe(?)
From Corfu, Greece, no snow no hot sun just a mild December day with blue sky. I enjoyed your little chat with TJ and Omar. Quiet now and then, yes. Ever lonely? I don’t think so Sensi – your charm shines out. Happy Holiday, Bob
aw, Thank you.
The other day, I was reading through Jeramiah and it states that it’s un-christian to have a christmas tree… why do they have them? Hopefully your court-date will be like the old T.V. show Night Court where the people do nothing but quirky shenanigans etc. etc. Get a picture with Bull if you can
lol, I heard even celebrating Christmas was un-christian but aye, whatchgonado. And I hope it’s not like Night Court. If anything then at least like that show Ally McBeal
This whole ‘secret’ thing is really beginning to bug me now!
well, it’s not that hard to figure out what it is…you just gotta pay attention closer
the only experience i had with snow in my life was when i turned up on a military air base on a plateau only to board a bus and get to lower altitudes which had no snow again. yea, quite a miss. i wonder what you case is about. cause you talk about it as though its a picnic. a cake walk, a stroll in the park. and whisk of coffee cream. …. like its not a case. usually cases and court hearings are kinda said with a degree of dread attatched to it. and i have never heard anyone mention it with such high spirits. all the best for that. and psssst… about that secret.. is it that research thingie?? damn, i was thinking about something of the levels like,’ if id tell you i would have to kill you ‘ kinds.. ahh.. have fun.. happy winter
the case is just for a speeding ticket. Im mostly happy b/c I dont have to pay it this year.
and that game is kinda tough.. phew..
