holidays

Why exactly do people find these nature sounds CD's so calming? It seems to me like someone recorded the sound of a single wave crashing on the shore with a crappy handheld tape player and then dubbed it to repeat. My head hurts.

I guess it does make me a little nostalgic. Even though I don't enjoy the beach like the average person due to extreme over-exposure... I can appreciate it, and it definitely brings back some memories.

Speaking of the beach, in exactly one month I will be on one... on some Caribbean island. Probably not soaking up the sun, (I wouldn't expect me to return with a tan :), but I am sure that I will occupy myself with some of the various excursions available. ...All while wearing sweat proof SPF 50.

The semester is really winding down and it seems to be shaping up nicely. Turns out I must be sorta smart, because I am not failing. I only have a few things (group project, 2 take-home finals) left and I should be done long before I leave town for the holidays.

It seems I may miss out on some of the holiday festivities in the DC area, I guess I shouldn't complain since I will be enjoying warmer climates and endless gourmet buffets... but I can't help but feel some sadness.

I will just have to wear my Cosby Christmas sweater on the cruise.

Turns out the January hosts the bigger holiday around here anyway, Inauguration day. I am sure the city will be flooded with feisty Democrats ready to enjoy their victory. A ridiculous amount of people are renting out space in their homes to strangers coming to town for the historic occasion. I expect many hilarious stories. Let's hope its not too cold... because it will be faster for me to walk downtown than to even try and move my car away from the nice curb where it will remained parked in my neighborhood.

At least we get a long weekend at school.

One week until thanksgiving!

...Can we stop the ocean sounds now!?
