Everyone say Hi to Mr Smithereen

"Hi Mr Smithereen!" So, I've got a new reader! Hooray! I'm not sure why random people who don't know me would find my strange weird blog and sense of humor worth reading, but we'll take it! I feel popular when I find out more people have decided to check into my blog.

Anyways, on with the show: Christmas shopping is underway! I love finding random things that I know people will like. It's fun. What's not fun is the fact that this stuff costs money, of which I don't have much. It would be much better if, temporarily for Christmas, everything was free!! I know I know, any economists reading that last sentence are pulling their hair out. Market economy, free enterprise, capitalism blah blah blah. In any case, I think I've done well so far in finding some good gifts for people.

I'm pretty excited about the latest development in my Public Achievement group. We've decided to work towards taking a field trip to the State capital sometime in the spring! Wahoo! Travelling with a bunch of twelve year old girls should be an interesting undertaking. I think they really want to go to shop at the Mall of America, but too bad for them! Bwahahahaha! Hmm...I just turned into an evil Public Achievement coach. How'd that happen? I'm getting a state representative to come in and talk to my girls too. How do girls that age get so interested in politics anyways? I think it's kind of cool.

And now...on to finals week! A week of taking stupid tests and writing stupid papers. Hooray! BUT, after that, I'll be DONE!!! At least for a month. That'll be nice. Then, I'll be helping Marvin get ready to go as much as I can, and we'll begin the journey into The Unknown. The Unknown, of course, meaning Colorado Springs. It sounds much more mysterious if I call it The Unknown though, so I may stick with that.

Hey!!! You know what else is exciting??? It's Christmas time, and guess what that means???? Constant viewing of White Christmas is now acceptable!! Hooray! My favorite movie can finally be pulled out and dusted off and watched without fear of disparaging looks from my roommies. Not as if that really stopped me in August, but at least now, I can feel Christmassy for a reason.

Rock the Casbah.
