It`s the Holidays!

I wasn't to successful this semester at keeping up with my blog. But to be fair, I was working more then I was going to school...
and when i wasn't doing wither of those i was doing homework or sleeping....

I did some little decorating in our apartment. Just something to bring some Christmas cheer, even though neither I or my roommate will be here during the holidays. And obviously I've accompanied this with my traditional "Christmas Tape" watching.

Just to name a few of course. And always the ORIGINAL, none of this reanimated for the new gen or sequels! Rudolph 2 does not exist... *_*

The story of the Christmas Tape for those who don`t is a tape made by my grandmother. She recorded hours of Christmas specials on to a VHS when my mom was a kid. Everyear we'd put the tape on and decorate the tree. It was a whole day event. Well a few years ago our VCR finally went poop... with the tape inside :( We pulled the VCR apart and rescued the tape. We never managed to find a VCR to replace it, but we did manage to download most of the specials, so now we have digital copies of most of it, plus some others :)

That's pretty much it. I find out in a week or so if I passed my essay. I'm pretty sure I did. And then I get to start my second year of school in January.
