I'm so glad to see you posted yesterday! Don't feel bad at all. I haven't posted either. I'm sorry to hear you've been so sick recently! I'd say I got sick a million times my freshman year, so just watch out! It's those icky dorm rooms! haha :) I'm glad to hear you're feeling better, just in time for the snow to come I suppose. The weather here is cold and wet; I'm just biding my time for the real winter to come along, the kind in Ireland where it's apparently just bright, windy, and cold, instead of this constant drizzle that freezes you to the bone.
My week's been pretty uneventful. After almost a full week of entertaining and shenanigans with the girls visiting two week ago, I needed time to recover. And to do all that work that had piled up. I'm still not finished, but I'm getting there. Only one more month of classes for me! It's hard to believe, but it also means crunch time EEP!
So let me explain the title of this post, shall I? It is November 4th today. Halloween was just the other day. And on November 1st, the Christmas decorations went up in the city. Am I kidding? Nope. We've concluded that without Thanksgiving to mark the safe transition to the Christmas season, the poor Irish just plow on without a marker. Until they decided one day that Halloween was as good a marker as any. So now I will have Christmas for two months. Maybe three. I'm not too upset about it. I was feeling a wee bit homesick recently, and Christmas is such a homey time that I was almost grateful. I've started putting on Christmas music in the mornings. SHhhhhhh!
Love you bunches,
SarleX
