The Christmas Spirit

I mentioned in a previous post how I really felt like getting into the holiday spirit. Now I've realized that I lost that feeling. Maybe it's because I'm so caught up in writing papers and finishing projects, but I haven't even listened to Christmas music recently. I've only heard a few songs while I'm in the coffee shop. This is a definite change for me; usually I'm listening to Christmas music from the beginning of November and continue straight through New Year's. I haven't even put in a Christmas cd this year so far. I'm hoping that my Christmas spirit will regain its usual steam after all of my exams are over. Hopefully decorating my room and baking cookies will help get me in the mood. I kind of miss all of my Christmas music, but I honestly have no desire to listen to it. I much prefer my normal music right now. It's just plain weird and has been making me wonder.

Crunch Time

Well this is almost the end. Thankfully my insanely crazy crunch time will be over with in four days. Sadly, I have a bunch to do before then, but at least I know that I can relax soon enough. I'm not quite sure why but my exams don't really frighten me all that much. All of my friends at other schools across the country are completely freaking out about their exams. I know that they count for a significant portion of your grade, but I really don't think that I'll need to do all that much studying to prepare for them. I've paid attention during the semester so it shouldn't take me long at all to review notes and such. My biggest concern has been all of these massive papers that are due this coming Monday and Tuesday. Hopefully, my concern hasn't been misplaced. I don't want to all of a sudden realize that I'm not ready for my coming exams. Oh well, I'll just have to see how the rest of this week goes. At least I can chill out on Tuesday while the majority of my friends are going insane with all of the studying they have to do.
