Gone too long

I haven't posted in 5 days or so, and I've gone to two parties since then. We're planning another for tomorrow after our last final. I went to the Christmas party for Katie (gag gifts) and it was a great time with good food. We exchanged a lot of presents and got more as the week went on. I took my virology final and it went very well, though it wasn't cumulative (thank goodness) and I took my physics final (which was cumulative) and it drained me. I don't know how I did on the virology final but I did awful on the physics (lab included) that I want to see if I can somehow get credit for it by taking another class before it kills my GPA. But by this point in the semester, I'm not sure what to do yet.

Here's my list of fun gifts I've gotten (it helps when I write thank-you cards)

"Make Love the Bruce Campbell Way" signed by the man himself from Matt

Chinese Proverb Poster (it's very nice) from Tiff and Andrew

Electric Buddha from Steve (imagine a bodhisattva with a plasma ball for a belly)

Rabbit Wine Kit from Nick and Erica

"Vice's Do's and Don'ts fashion book" from Robin

I still have gifts for Bert, both Andrews, Mike, Steve, Julie, Claire and some more Austin/Dallas people. I have gotten so many phone calls and IM messages asking me to come hang out, but everyone's still surprised that I have exams still. Seems like we're the last to get out of this semester, but whatcha gonna do? Tonight (I know I have a 9:00am History exam) Matt, Robin, Nick, and I are going to the Alamo Drafthouse Downtown to catch a very funny winter show. Jerm, from Mr. Sinus Theater is hosting "Merry F@#$ing Christmas" which is the work up and plots of over a dozen Christmas themed pornos. There's no nudity (which would be creepy in a crowded theater) but the sheer hilarity of porn (especially any kind of themed one) will make this a pretty good show. He's assembled all-time-favorites such as "Jingle Balls" "Tits a Wonderful Life" "Christmas Carol" and many more. I'll post later and tell you how it went.

I think I'm going to stay in Austin a day or two just to relax and do nothing (I suppose pack some clothes) before heading back to Dallas for the break. My grandmother (dad's side) is coming in tomorrow and then all my aunts and uncles will be coming to our house for much drinking, quick-witted banter and hopefully more jokes about presents (EMU!!!) that we all get (Santa Claws). I think that I'll have time to see all my Dallas people over the break (I also promised Robin that I'd take him out for his birthday- that happens to fall on festivus) but there will be much merriment and oogling of each others gifts. I'll post once more before I go back to Dallas and then I'll keep a much tighter schedule of posts with what I'm up to over the terribly short vacation.


Seems like I've always been here...
