A change for the better

I've been having a good week. Like REALLY good week *of course meaning week beginning monday, as someone once taught me, it is best to start things on mondays*

So far this week, I:

- Did a lot of readings to catch up for my exams
- Convinced myself that I will not learn through osmosis *although i'm sure the theory still has some merit*
- finished a paper that I was avoiding becuase I thought it was going to be a lot harder than it was, and it only ended up taking me about 5 hours to completely finish and type.
- Confronted my noisy neighbors who keep me up until 5am daily playing poker all night long. After I talked to them last night, I didnt hear one noise out of their apartment, and I think i've made some headway *but that remains to be seen*
- met TWO new guys, and managed to get myself TWO dates. *one of the guys I just met yesterday in class, but as we left class, he said he didnt want to leave becuase I was so interesting to listen to, that he walked me all the way home.*
- Asked my mom for a pair of mittens for Christmas that MATCH my scarf, instead of getting a new one.
- I think I made a decision about giong back to the States. It's tempting, but I left to come back to school, and upgrade myself. That was something I wanted. I think i'm staying here, and turning the job down *I can still go back and work for the summer months, I just wont have the promotion.*
- Watched the most AMAZING movie Crash. It just came out recently, and is about racism. It's fantastic if you havent seen it....
- Also watched Million Dollar Baby, and regardless of what everyone said, Yes....it was a Good movie....but NO. I did NOT cry. LOL

It's snowing today. I LOVE the first real snowfall of the year. The earth is changing, and you can smell it in the air. *by FAR, my most favorite smell...the changing of the seasons.*

And snow reminds me of Crhistmas break...where my most favorite place to be in the entire world is beside a toasty REAL fire *not a gas fireplace* with a good book and a huge mug of hot chocolate and baileys....mmmmmm.

I think Hernesto is quite funny :)

Princess Pessimism said...

Hernesto - That sounds good too. I wasnt aware that sears made a catalouge still. LOL

Berly - Dates pending....but i'll let you know.

Miss Ash - I agree....Hernesto is quite funny.

yrautca said...

Oh so now he is so funny. I beg to differ. I am more funny.

Anayway no need fighting. Ash, PP, hernesto and I can do a double date. I will pair with Ash and PP and hernesto with his trash can and Sears catalog.

i'm hoping that it's going to snow today, but the skies are looking remarkably clear at the moment :(

Princess Pessimism said...

yrautca - I never said you werent funny, hernesto's just a different KIND of funny. Like, wickedly shocking...you're more "funny ha ha"

Princess Pessimism said...

PX - Ya, that would be nice, it's the same over here

Miss Ash said...

Yes i agree with Yrautca ....... we'll leave PP and Hernesto with his garbage can and sears catalogue while we purchase cheap scarves and sit by the fireplace :)

Well done on a nice blog Princess Pessimism. I was searching for information on Santa letters and came across your post A change for the better - not quite what I was looking for related to Santa letters but very nice all the same!

We're all getting ready for Christmas and I've just put the finishing touches to my new site specially for kids, or rather their parents and relatives. You can go there and get Santa to send a really nice personalized letter to a youngster. It's great fun! If you have a moment, perhaps you'd enjoy taking a look: Letter from Santa .

Well, a merry Christmas to you and yours!

Hernesto - I'll have you know that "funny Ha Ha" is not a downgrade. It is the equivalent to shockingly funny, but in a more polite way.

You're equally lovely....
