Good evening imaginary audience.  Today was…productive enough.  I wrapped my final paper for the year this morning before lunch, and that leaves me with one more non-test assignment, a god damn Linguistics notebook to do before the end of the semester.  Five days seems like enough time to complete it, but I’ll need to keep on task.  I plan on getting down to business on Thursday when in-class time trickles down to one class a day.  And hopefully I’ll finish before Sunday, partially because I want to have extra time to study, and partially because I’ll have a strong urge to just sit around and watch football.  This project is alien to me: it’s more like a high-school arts and crafts project than a college assignment.  But I think it will be easy, if not just long and tedious; and come Monday my writing won’t be like Confessions of a Workaholic.

I remember a day, long ago, when Family Guy was hysterical.  In related news, I think I’m going to learn the piano over winter break, too.  It’s related because I just watched Stewie charmingly playing the piano at a party on Family Guy.  Why can’t I do that?

Winter break has great potential, really.  It’s five weeks long this year, giving me a lot of time to do whatever tickles my fancy – celebrate my birthday through excessive drinking, visit museums, work, or just get in some good family time and relaxing in preparation for a huge spring semester, etc.  Hopefully all of the above.  It’s the best I can do to make the most of this literally darkest of breaks.
