Since my last exam, I have been running around doing Christmas-y, family like things, and I am getting pretty damn tired of it. When I'm not acting as default chauffeur, I'm cleaning up the house, putting up the Christmas lights, decorating mantles, and shopping for presents, all the while dodging those insipid Christmas carols.
For those who do not reside in Florida right now, the high for the last week has been 80 degrees. Thats not Christmas. I cannot listen to The 12 Days of Christmas when I'm wearing flipflops.
So, yeah. I'm tired. And the list of people who insist that we get together and do something is getting longer by the minute.
And the sick thing is? If I had a job, I wouldn't be working anywhere NEAR as hard, and I'd be getting paid.
So, my dislike of Christmas is only growing. I can't tell you people how happy I will be when its Dec 26th. Because then? Its just hanging out until New Years, where I'll probably get trashed with all of my as-of-yet absent friends.
Yay.
Wheres my fucking eggnog.
