Friday?!?!?!?!?!?

Did well on micro... not so sure about physics... haven't dared look at calculus. Triple ugh!

So now that that disaster is mostly over, I feel like it's Friday! We have no more legit calc classes, are almost done with speeches in speech, and only have one more test in Physics. I feel like it's the end of the semester! HOT DAMN!!!

Which means back to 3rds full-time for a month or so... of which I'll have saved no money by the end of break because of the trips home and Christmas presents. I often wonder if I'm being hypocritical in engaging in Christmas traditions as an atheist... but then I remember just that: Christmas traditions. With all the decorations and maxing out of credit cards and face-stuffing, I think very few people actually really think about why Christmas was instated and what it was originally meant to 'celebrate.' I like to spoil my friends and family and Christmas is just a manner in which to get it all out of the way at once (with the exception of Birthdays, of course!). Besides, who can help but feel happy and generous with so many smiling Santa's, elves, and snowmen everywhere? I think I will choose not to feel back-ass-ward in celebrating the traditions, and not the 'reasons,' of Christmas. Maybe someday, when I'm old and bitter and miserable, I'll decide not to partake... but I'm going to enjoy it while I can.

Today is Wes and I's two year anniversary. Two years! And we still like/tolerate/put up with each other! I find it worth mentioning, at least. I'm not sure what plans for the evening are as of yet but we are planning on going to The South Philadelphia Tap Room on Saturday and using my $50 gift certificate. What? Cop-out, you say? I beg to differ! I am a firm believer that when any one goes to a restaurant, fun increases exponentially with the amount of money that he/she spends especially when that money isn't yours. I doubt we'd have spent $50 of our own money going out because we are (generally) practical people when it comes to our money. And while we can have a good time going out for $20, spending $50 of some one elses money is a rare treat!!!
