Weekly Update:

Well, another week has gone by, and I must confess that I am really not feeling the Christmas spirit this year. I can't put my finger on the exact reason why, but it may have to do with the fact that my semester doesn't officially end until three days before Christmas. It seems like all I am doing these days is working: studying, working for CP, babysitting, chores... I've been reluctant to listen to any Christmas music because I don't want to associate the stress with the music. *Sigh* Honestly, I just want the semester to be over already. One more week.
