Bottled Sky

Happy holidays, everyone! Right now I’m enjoying my much needed Christmas break. I had to get through a barrage of exams first, though. Two of them I’m pretty sure I passed, one I’m not so sure of, and one I can bet my dog’s life on that I failed. Miserably. I know because of the 3 hours we had for that exam, I spent the first hour thinking of creative ways to answer mathematical questions, the second drawing cats and fish bones on my answer sheets, and the last sleeping while drooling on my questionnaire. I may have managed to get a 10% on that exam, but that still remains to be seen.

It’s actually been a pretty eventful break so far. Last Thursday, Convergence, a techie magazine show on Net-25, came over to do a feature on me for their E-life segment. I was really apprehensive about the whole thing at first, mainly because I didn’t want to embarrass myself on national television, but it turned out to be quite a fun experience. I suppose it was partly because I managed to coerce Aggie and Chrissa to keep me company during the shoot, and be interviewed for a little bit, too. At least we can all look silly together! The people from the show were also really nice. They weren’t at all intimidating, and Jar, one of the show’s hosts, even sounded so much like our favorite high school teacher.

Then on Friday, Chrissa and I hit the malls for some last minute gift shopping. I wasn’t able to finish everything, but I think I did pretty well considering how many other last-minute shoppers I had to compete with that day. I managed to stay more or less on budget, too! I still have to find gifts for a few more people, but I know I won’t be seeing them until after the holidays, so I’m not too worried.

My old high school class also had its annual Christmas reunion party last Saturday, and that’s always loads of fun. It was great seeing the old whackos again. I even made sure not to drink too much so I’d at least remember how much fun I had
