Dear California turned North Carolina Soggy Taco Friend,

THANK YOU so much for the Christmas gift!!! I got it yesterday and was very happy to receive it! It's tres chouette and I'm really curious how you found it. :p It is a photo album that shall hold only the most special of photos. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas full of snow :)

On another note, I do indeed have a few Christmas gifts for you. However, I have not found the proper means of sending them. I hope to find those means soon.

Sincerely,
Crystal

Libraries are Way cool

I have a bunch of books lined up to read. That's kind of exciting! I've started reading the Da Vinci Code. I figure I would since my sister had borrowed it from the library. Kate gave me The Bean Trees to read. She always talks about it and there's a girl named Turtle in it. :p Then my sister bought me a used book from the bibliotheque called Rocket Boys for Christmas. I adore the movie October Sky and that's what it's based on. I also borrowed a few CDs from the lib so that I can... um... gently rip the music onto my comp :p. One of them is Television's Greatest Hits vol 2 from the 60's. It is so awesome! They'll be useful for any upcoming movies :)

bittersweet

Oh yeah, I passed calc. But it was close. So close that I had to ask if that was considered passing. I cannot screw up with calc again next semester. I need to start off with good exam grades from the start. Never again!

Judgment Day

So far I have passed 3 of my 4 classes this semester, woohoo! My calc prof has office hours from 11-2 today and I want to see him then, but I'm...scared. What if I didn't pass and I FAILED calc 2? That's incredibly scary. But then, what harm can it do to find out now instead of Friday by polaris. He's a nice guy, good teacher, hard tests... at least for me... but I can imagine how hard it would be for me (and him) to break news like that. A lot was riding on the final exam and boy did I study for that. But I know I didn't get the grade I wanted. Maybe he'll have some compassion and curve the grades for us. I mean I did my homework, I went to see him during his office hours, I came to every class that I could, what else could he ask for? If worse comes to worse, I guess there's grade forgiveness. Ugh, this was a tough semester.
