...to finally get my lazy ass off the couch and assemble that damn Christmas Tree.
What was taxing about this early Christmas season is that not only did I have to decorate my tree, it seemed I was the only one who bother to take the time and decorate the tree at my work. Besides getting some help stringing up tinsel and ornaments. I had to literally fix up two Christmas tress. Not saying I don't love Christmas tress and what they store beneath its little spindles, just the thought of de-tangling lights and trying to remember where everything went last year drains a person out. And don't forget that come January 1st [or weeks following January 1st], some people will either repackage their trees in the box or lug it outside so it can be chopped up in to wood chips.
Last few weeks I have been literally bummed out. After receiving news from UCF, of not getting into graduate school. I am literally surprised at how introverted I had become. There was a point where I was just going through the days as if I was just sleepwalking, and wanting people to kind of bugg off and leave me alone [kind of hard when you work in an office]. Now with it being December and the thoughts of missing out on graduate school, doesn't infuriate me. I've decided to apply one more time, apply myself study my ass off for the GRE and apply for UF and UCF. If I don't get in this time, well than that's it. I move on to something else. Just have to realize school isn't for everybody and that there are other ways to make a difference in this world than getting your Masters and Ph.D. I do know that I will be looking and scouring very hard to find a better paying job and a new place to move to. If I have to stay in Gainesville, might as well make it an enjoyable stay.
Now with about 18 days of until Christmas. My sister and I have decided to buy gifts for one another, like we did last year. The dollar limit $150.00. I know...a lot to be spending on someone especially if that person is your sister. But she deserves it. Last year she deserved it the most, because she finally started dieting and lost a lot of weight and being an overall healthier person. This year, she gets the prize for not being as annoying as past year and being the few people I actually lean on. LoL [someone needs to come up with something better than LoL...]. Haven't figured out what to get her, thinking a toss up between a PSP, PS2 or something with some wow factor to it. As for me, I know what I want...well more like need. I already have plans to get a new computer monitor and camera with my Christmas bonus money. And plan to put the rest in my saving account which is aptly named: The Greg's HDTV Funds [of which I am a third way there...with plans from my sister to contribute to this account as well].
Well I think this is a good time as ever to end this entry. Below are some before and after photos of the Christmas Tree my sister and I assembled in our living room. The pictures make it look puny when in reality it looks really beautiful.
