On a different note, I'm becoming less concerned about homework as it gets closer to Christmas break. My roommate and I have found various ways to distract each other from necessary tasks. We've always been able to procrastinate but it's getting to an extreme.
For instance, before Thanksgiving we both had a bunch of homework to accomplish but there was a huge storm passing through that dumped at least a foot of beautiful, snowman-building snow. Therefor, we of course spent about 2 hours playing outside in the sparkly whiteness, taking pictures of each other and ice skating on the street in front of our apartment. Not real ice skating, of course.
We then proceeded to come inside, drink cocoa and apple cider, then play music as we put plastic up on all our windows because it dawned on us all of a sudden that it was pertinent to save energy. (For those of you who live in places that don't get to -15 degrees at night, you probably don't understand this. I don't feel bad for you.)
It was all fun and games until we realized it was 10:00 o'clock at night...on a Monday...and we had accomplished literally nothing that we actually needed to. Needless to say, it was a late night.
Yesterday was sort of a deja-vu. We both brought Christmas decorations back from home and were super excited about putting them up. We have the awesomest brick fireplace so of course we had to put up stockings! We have five up...I don't know why.
We also put the cutest twinkling snowflake dangling lights in our big living room window! Aw, so Christmas-y! We spent probably three hours in Christmas la-la land and had to come back to reality. Once again, it was later than anticipated and we succumbed to homework overload.
It was a lot of fun, though! It's nice to have decorations up to put us in the spirit. Here's a picture:
