Christmas is in 18 days and I haven't really started my usual rituals of writing x-mas cards and buying gifts. *gasp* Tram gave me my present Tuesday. Guilt trip. Guilt trip!!! But it was exactly what I wanted. :) Yes a pack of CDRs and this really cool beanie (BEAR!!!) from the CAL student store named Goldenbeary.
Major guilt trip.

Maybe this is really a minor detail...but (once again...heading into terror) in high school, I rarely gave thoughtful gifts. Even to Jube. Although the phrase "it's the thought that counts"...well still. That particular item may have been sitting on the shelf for sometime...then you come across it and think, heeeeeey...this will do as a gift. But hey...I do that too. In fact, I already bought a generic gift about three months ago just in case, someone's birthday comes up. I am prepared. But now it's Christimas. A time of giving. Right. Think, Jenn, think!!!

Today was sorta a delayed day for me. "Jennifer, Jennifer! Don't you have class today?" my roommate Jennifer (for you that don't know...I have a roommate named Jennifer) cried waking me up. Actually I was glad that I woke up...I was having the worst nightmare. I don't remember exactly what it was. It must have been an embarrassing social situtation where I was the center of attention. Ugh, it's always bad to have one of those. It was 8:50 am when I woke. Then I was able to get ready in a little over twenty minutes and actually get to psych on time. However, too much sacrifices for Xing and Tram. I waited patiently as Xing tried to find parking near my dorm. Waited patiently for them to finish their lunch in the DC. Then I rushed to ethnic studies. Ten mintues late! Agh, I shouldn't be anxious about this kind of thing...but it makes me anxious that they ran out of handouts for the group presentation...and I missed some major note-taking. AGH!!! Finally, my anxiety has disappeared.
I finished my 10 page research paper. Why did I procrastinate? Why did I make it so long?!

Attending the rescomp holiday party later today. I "accidentally" volunteered to be the author of the RCC Internship version of the "Twelve Days of Christmas"...spent way too much time creating this:
On the first day of Train-ning, Kathy [the RCC internship head] gave to me...
