Christmas Shmishmas
Right, so Christmas is round the corner. The festive spirit's in the air. Lots of peeps in town doing last minute shopping. Red/white decor plagues every mall and adverts depicting cheap deals are aplenty.
Christmas cards are trickling in, though ironically they're from sales reps and insurance agents rather than friends. ^^;; I'm not complaining, since I rarely send out cards and don't expect any either.
Still, Christmas is looking as grim as ever.
It might seem like I'm leading some sort of depressed lifestyle, but hrmmm, its something a li'l different than that (ie I'm NOT depressed). Christmas to me is usually a prelude to the big blow which is New Year's. That week in between the two dates is when that slightly guilty portion at the back of your brain starts bugging you whether you've actually accomplished what you set out to do at the start of the year.
And every year, the answer is pretty much a resounding no for me. I'm still temperamental. I'm still prone to periods where I just shut myself out from people. I'm still barely skimming through my exams and my results are still as craphola as they were a year ago.
Nevertheless, the same old resolutions will be made. Which will then be unaccomplished by year's end, and the cycle repeats itself til... well, til I eventually change or get zapped to my component molecules. Chances are, the latter occurence would happen first. ^^;;
In any event, there's really no necessity in wallowing in unfulfilled resolutions. Since its a yearly occurence, I shouldn't slip into the *cough* Long Dark Tea-time of the Soul. I really oughta be enjoying the last long-term break I'll be having for the next (argh) 30-40 years or so. *grimaces, winces and gasps*
In short: I'll be damned if I don't complete watching School Rumble before this year is over. =P =P
