Fact: Christmas lights are a bitch

So true. Remember when I posted about the twinkly lights in my dorm refused to work because one of them went out? Well I have now bought replacements for that lightbulb and they still refuse to work. I just changed two out and managed to hit my head pretty badly in the process. I have a headache. I am going to try switching the fuses out next even though I'm pretty sure that isn't it. If it was the fuse then wouldn't the whole line go out instead of just half?

I also tried to get the bulb part of a green Christmas light out of it's holder with my teeth. It broke in my mouth and I had to spit the bits of green glass onto the carpet in front of me. Needless to say, it's not the smartest thing I've ever done.

I am one test and 600 miles away from going home. I should really be studying for said test, but really can't manage to make myself do it. I hate studying and apparently studying hates me back because it doesn't really embrace me with open arms whenever we meet. I keep finding things to do instead. The latest (besides sitting down to write this) has been the blasted Christmas lights. My hard work and attention to them has not paid off. I am upset. I am at the apathetic stage of procrastination right now. I could seriously care less even though I really need to care a lot since the semester is ending very soon. I just want to go home so bad! I had kind of a mental breakdown earlier because things were being problematic and I just wanted to stop dealing with it and go home. It's over now, but I still need to study. Danielle and Kelsey are already home and I want to be home with them so bad! Luckily I will get to see them and other friends on Wednesday because I have set up a Glee Get-Together. They are coming over to watch our favourite show and I am excited because I will get to see them and will get to actually see the show on a Wednesday. Usually I have to wait until the next day to watch it on Hulu, which sucks because the internet here is ridiculously slow. It should be a really good holiday and I've already started on my Black Friday list. Tom Tom GPS for $59 at Walmart? Game on. I also realised today how much I love the show Good Eats with Alton Brown on the Food Network. I keep seeing the seasons for sale at Target so hopefully they will be on sale. That would be awesome! I should seriously just watch that show to study for my Nutritional Sciences test. He is awesome and I am kind of in love with him because he is so fantastically nerdy. Hey, it's not that weird! My friend Austin has a photo of Paula Dean in his wallet because he loves her and her cooking and her abundance of buttery, fattening recipes. OK, maybe that is a little weird. Whateva!

Besides being upset at Christmas lights, I am also upset with myself about the fact that I have yet to draw a single Christmas picture for my Christmas children's book! I have a feeling that this will change over the Thanksgiving break. I will be with my family, we will put up the tree and decorate it after Christmas dinner, we will watch a Christmas movie and I will realise how close Christmas really is. I also think having my niece so close by will help motivate me as well. She's just so darn cute.

Well, I am going to attempt to at least read a few pages of my notes before turning in. Goodnight!
