Today I realized that this December is a very busy month for me. I’ve been going crazy with the semester ending at school, and with the written test - fortunately that’s over! I still have to do my second final exam, the one due Wednesday night. I think I’ve gotten most of my holiday shopping done, though I’m not at all sure I’ll manage to get cards out this year - if anything they will end up being Happy New Year cards. I have a lot of chores to do, too - some cleaning in the bedroom, putting out the trash, and cleaning the microwave; I also have to take the car to Jiffy Lube (it’s about 500 miles overdue!) and find a holiday present for my friend _R_ and his wife. I’ve been neglecting all my blogging friends, my Literotica boards, my work at ODP, noding…everything I enjoy online. Hopefully I’ll get some time to visit those sites before Xmas, because I don’t know if I’ll have the opportunity while in NYC - I probably will, but I can’t be sure. (I do plan to update my journal every day in December, but I may not get to spend more time online than that requires.) I think after the beginning of the new year, though, I will be more back to normal.
