i like presents

oh Christmas, must you leave so soon?
definitely a highlight for me was when i opened the box set of the Lord of the Rings extended edition!! All THREE of them!! yes i was definitely excited.
so today I'm going to the city with my family, my cousin, and Phil, and we're staying in the Titanic theme room at Canad Inns. woowee.
sooooooooo maybe having relatives over during holidays is not the easiest way to relax and have a good time.
i hate how these things are so hard to write.

look what we've done

so i'm home. and it is cold. inSANEly cold. and Christmas is in how many days? I really don't understand how people could be anti-Christmas. when does your house feel more warm and homey than when you have lights all over and there is always something baking? Plus it's the fulfillment of God's mission (Jesus being born)! yeah ok so i'm going to Bible college. But really, who cares what the world wants to make it into. Don't let it affect how you and Christmas get along. It's like the bill to legalize gay marriage. Who really cares? Will it change the way you or God view marriage? No. If people want to be so ignorant and blind and make Christmas or marriage something it's not, let them. But don't let them drag you down with them. That's how I feel anyways.

merry christmas

we landed to a balmy -17 degrees celsius in wonderful winnipeg manitoba. It was actually kind of refreshing to walk outside and have my boogers freeze. I wonder what would happen if you googled "boogers". on sec...ok here's something for ya: click here for boogers. haha. ok well, back to the seriousness...
Like a good, curious Winklerite i visited the Superstore and Walmart, and yes, it does feel like you're in a "big" city. My bed is just as uncomfortable as ever, so i just slept on my body pillow. I feel like I'm going to have tons of spare time, but tam says it'll go by really fast. hmmm i'd be okay with that. I know i'm going to miss my bed and my people. i just feel like i have nothing to say these days...

i'll be home for Christmas

it was so nice outside today! the sun was shining and the wind was warm, it was like spring! or winter here i guess. let it be known that i hate money. i have almost none left and it bothers me.
Anyways, yesterday was our Christmas banquet! it was so much fun. we all got dressed up and had food and there was a program, and we took pictures and it was just a really good time. then afterwards we ALL went to see Ocean's Twelve still dressed up. like seriously, the entire banquet picked up and stormed the movie theatre. it was awesome! so much fun. and then me and tam and jenna stayed up til 2 a.m. talking. *sigh* and then today i must buckle down and study. studystudystudy. Have a good weekend people!

all in all, not a bad day

i woke up to snow today!! never mind the fact that i slept half an hour past my alarm...oops. so DILEMMA. do i drive home with phil and britt and joel and fly back to Abbotsford after Christmas? or do I just fly both ways cuz the ticket is paid for and it'll be so much faster and um safer? i have also realized that i am a horrible decision maker. horrible. yesterday was dorm fellowship and it was SO FUn. the lounge is all Christmasy and we sang Christmas songs at the top of our lungs and had sharing and a gift exchange! I shared about Christmas at my house and apparently people enjoyed it cuz they laughed and clapped afterwards. except i sounded like a shnothead the whole time cuz i am sick. for the gift exchange thingy i got this black-and-white picture of this guy whos name happens to be phil (not MY phil), and it's awesome cuz he wrote "with all my heart" on it. it's so great! i laughed. ok i should probably go study for exams now. blech exams. Merry Christmas!

i wrote a poem

merrily we roll along,
glide along
leaves crunch, sand flies
briskly we walk along

wearily we trudge along,
stumble along
feet slip, eyes close
differently we drift along

Nyquil poster child

who wants to hear a funny story? ok so last night before i went to bed, Tamara offered my Nyquil to help me sleep (cuz i'm sick). Me being the ever strong one, i took them but decided to see how i would sleep without them. I woke up at 5 am and thought "ok i can't sleep, where are those pills". now i know that you who are reading this can see the warning lights going off, but oh no, not me. So i took the little blue pills and then thought "wait a second...these things last 5-8 hours don't they. woops" and konked out. My alarm went off at 8:15 and getting up is always hard so i didn't really think about it. Then when i could barely walk out the door I realized i had made a big mistake. i barely made it through classes and chapel and went right to bed. STAY AWAY FROM NYQUIL. powerful drug. other than that, it's been a great day. of course i can't really remember much of it...

I'm going to Germany! Heidi's coming to Germany with me!! It SNOWED!!!

So i WAS excited, and then, then i read Jen's blog. So i wouldn't mind knowing who is all going to the Church of the Rock's new years thing, cuz that would be helpful in knowing if i should even bother. Oh and i just found up that i will be spending a week of my Christmas break with my cousins and aunt and uncle who have decided to come out for Christmas. and my cousin will be staying in my room (with me but still). and it's raining again and i have to do my paper route. Amazing how one thing can turn your day crappy. I'm sorry, but that's how i feel. oh go away.
