Squee!!
Oh joy, oh joy, Christmas is almost here! Can you not hear the happy families singing carols and frolicking about in the snow? The magical romance between the young couples kissing as they skate on the local ice pond? The laughing of the happy children as they sit on Saint Nicholas' knee, asking for absurdly priced novelty items they'll get tired of within a week's time?

Bah, I'm not. Christmas just isn't here for me this year, as is the case with most people I know. Even though it's two days away, I feel little Christmas Spirit within me. I mean, I smiled from ear to ear when I saw the Chrismtas Trees in Target for the first time last month, and I feel nice.. Something just feels missing.

I suppose that things are just different this year. I have more things to manage, such as a pseudo-relationship, the sickness of a family member, stress of school projects that are due the week I get back, and so on.

Part one-- Relationship issues

Okay, so I did not know people were exchanging gifts this year at my school. I thought that was not allowed, thus I never even thought of doing such a thing. Well guess what. My pseudo-girlfriend comes up at lunch and gives me a gift. What do I do? Stutter. Feel bad. Thank her but I probably came off sounding as a jerk. Argh, now I need to figure out how to make it up to her.

Part two-- Family Member Sickness thingie

My grandmother isn't doing very well. She has been very sick, and has physically aged about twenty years in the past two months. Because of this my dad's been very depressed/angry as of late, and we're driving three hours to San Diego to see her on Christmas Day. It's gonna be so sad and morbid there (plus we'll be the only people there) so I probably won't enjoy it much. *sigh* I don't think my immediate family will ever have a Christmas with just the four of us..

Part three-- Projects

Argh. I have to finish off the last half of The Hunt for Red October in the next two weeks and write a book report about it. What's worse, I have three unreliable partners also reading Tom Clancy novels. Their grades are averaged in with mine, and none of them have even gotten half way through theirs. That'll suck.

Then I have an island creation thing to do. That's not much of a problem, but once again I have to pick up the slack coming from my teammates. Argh.

And so ends my rant.

Merry Christmas, everyone.
