So, classes start for me tomorrow. My feelings on this are generally flat and neutral. That's all about that.

I set only one New Year's Resolution. From here on out, I will document every cent I spend. I'm not exactly strapped for cash; I'm just curious how much moolah I truly do work my way through. I am sure its a lot. I really like to buy new outfits (shoes included) for any reason at all. Yes, I will be more aware of what I spend and where I spend it. By doing this, perhaps I will become thrifty - something I've never exactly been. What do you think?

Okay, two resolutions. I WILL NOT SKIP CLASS. Driving out to UMSL is going to be a bummer, but I will do it. I came up with this one just now. It seems like a good plan, so I'll try and stick to that one as well.

After work tonight, I went over to Kate's house and helped her write a college entry essay. I kinda miss doing stuff like that... I really do enjoy it. Maybe taking all of these English and Lit classes have done something good to me. Who knows?

Rob Lowe is on Conan O'Brien's late night show right now and has on entirely too much make-up. Someone did him wrong.

I'm an adult.

It turned 21 yesterday. I made it out of the bars alive. Barely. I have not been that drunk since I graduated from high school. Big hearts for Cantu and James who sang to me in the ladie's room of McGirks while I was strugglin at 2:30 this morning. I can honestly say it was a great night. Plus, Hoobie called me this morning and gave me a great birthday present... He's working my shift for me tonight so I can recover and hang out with Christy Belle. That's an awesome gift.

Merry Christmas, fools.

It is after 11am and we STILL have not opened presents. I think I'm relatively mature (at least in some capacities), but as soon as Christmas rolls around, I swear I revert back to third grade. I suppose that isn't such a bad thing. Being a third grader was badass.

Why am I so indecisive? It is time to start making some major decisions and I'm having a hard time with it. I wish I could know what the best decisions are in advance. I don't like dealing with my bad choices.
In other news, I started and finished my Christmas shopping in one day. Not too bad, eh? My mother and I bought each other identical tanzanite rings and are giving them to each other. My brother and father will undoubtedly be confused by this, but that's okay. We plan on acting like its a surprise. Mom and I are dorks like that.
The 'Bee's closes at midnight on New Year's Eve. Who closes at MIDNIGHT on New Year's Eve? Because I'm one of the few servers that hasn't requested the day off (it is too late to do so now), I'm pretty sure I'll be one of the closers that night. New Year's Eve, traditionally, isn't a huge deal to me, as my birthday is only two days after, but closing an empty restaurant as the ball drops isn't going to be the most memorable holiday, either. Yuck.

I'm tired. I work. A lot.

If you are looking to buy yourself a little holiday present, I recommend I Know This Much Is True by Wally Lamb. It looks intimidating, I know, but you'll quickly become engrossed. Trust me.

It is 6:36 in the evening and the only thing I want to do is put on flannel pajamas and wrap Christmas presents. I definitely do not want to work on my ten+ page lit paper. Gross.

I have semi-curly hair. By semi-curly, I mean that it is not pretty in its curly state. Half of my hair consists of limp curls, and the other half is one part stick straight and one part frizzy super curl. Today, after a shower, I felt too lazy to plug in the hair dryer and decided to instead watch the end of Love Actually. Needless to say, my hair dried a mess and I have to go to class soon. I should be more worried about finals next week, which I am in no way ready for, but I am really preoccupied with my hair right now. I'm a mess.

I published that last post without a proofread. I've been doing homework for the past two hours, plus went to a couple hours of class today. Needless to say, I posted as an escape. I went back and read it - I discovered a dropped comma here and there and even a comma splice. I've said it a thousand times if I've said it once - I'm really loosing my touch. I need to re-awaken the grammar love.
