let your heart be light

We went a bit crazy with decorating our ginger biscuits last night. Think we sat for two hours or summat, in deep concentration. In the end we practically just splashed on everything we could find. None of us had even had a taste of one biscuit, and Kiwi said: "I don't even think I like them". Marble was a perfect host as per usual and served us food, which we enjoyed whilst chatting about golden days. I've spent a lot of my years of "growing up" with the same people, which means we can reminisce and laugh at all the stupid things we've done. We drank (Scandinavian) mulled wine, and listened to Christmas music. It was just really nice. Sugar went home with some of her ginger biscuits, and the rest of us continued the decorating. At 11:00 pm or summat, we were finally done and decided to grab all the snacks and some biscuits to watch a film. We had planned to watch Bridget's Diaries, but the DVD player didn't want to play it. So we ended up watching Elf, which I personally think is hilarious, but you should only watch it once a year probably. At the end of the night I felt a bit like Buddy: like I had only eaten sugar all day. We were all quite exhausted by the ginger biscuit making, but then Kiwi and I got a message that our new "praksis" was revealed, which made us all jittery and loud. I kept repeating "oh my god". I don't know how to feel about my new "praksis", all I know is that I don't really want to go back to "praksis". But then I'd have to interrupt my education now, probably. And I don't think I want to do that after all these years. This morning, whilst we had breakfast, we watched cross country skiing. And it's the first time I've watched it this year. I feel all out of the loop, because I've not been updated on cross country skiing or handball, which I usually am around this time of year. I guess the exam is getting all of my attention (not really). Tonight I'm going to catch up on X Factor, though I must admit that I'm not yearning to watch it, like I have previously. So maybe it's starting to wane off finally? Maybe I'll be able to stop watching it. All I've done since I walked home (my goodness it's so slippery outside), is to clean my bedroom, listen to Christmas CD's and writing this post. So, I've not been very productive, seeing as it's been almost three hours since I got home. I am going to continue write notes for my exam soon, just have to get some food, probably. It's definitely not a way for me to procrastinate more. Happy Sunday, and happy Advent for the ones who celebrate that. Eee, it's first of December tomorrow, which means I can open my tea calendar!

put your troubles out of sight and just have yourself a merry little Christmas

It's already starting to turn darker outside, and I've found that the one positive thing about that is that I keep thinking it's really late. And then I end up having "extra hours", which is untrue, but feels like it. My paper is looking good, and I just have to do the finishing edits, and I'm all good to go. When I woke up today, it felt a bit odd lying in my bed doing nothing. It's like it's become unfamiliar to me to just lie around in bed. But it's so nice. I was planning on going to bed at 11:00 pm last night because I was so bloody tired, but I ended up sitting up till' 1:00 am instead. Was doing some creative writing, which I've not done in quite awhile, so that was nice. I sent messages to Lynx, Volla and Lumba yesterday, asking them about their Christmas wishes. And to my surprise, it was Lumba who answered first. He never does. Plus, my sisters haven't even answered the text. Bloody hell, the world is changing, innit? I think I'm going to spend the next weekend Christmas shopping. Or maybe just next week. I've not been at the mall in ages, so it'll be nice to see the Christmas decorations. One of my neighbours started their Christmas decorations two weeks ago, which I found a tad bit early, but hey. I'm not going to complain about Christmas decorations. Ours are probably not going up until tomorrow. According to a snap I got from Darren, my belieber friend is decorating today (it's very important to keep up to date to what all my friends are up to, ha). It's really starting to feel a lot like Christmas, and I've been listening to Buble's Christmas album for the whole morning. And I've been watching cross country skiing (yayyyyyyyy). I'm excited to see how all the Norwegians will do this year. Sadly Monchita forgot to buy my favourite chocolate when she was at the grocery store today, but we do have some chocolate (or, actually, quite a lot), so it'll be fine. But yes, everything is feeling very Christmas-ish, and I'm really excited. I might actually watch Elf tonight whilst plotting Christmas present ideas. Also, I'm contemplating whether I should make Christmas cards this year too. For now though, I'm going to finish my paper (and eat chocolate with tea).
