smooth
Hmm, it's been a pretty hectic few days.
On Saturday, I finally decided to begin Christmas shopping which was a total nightmare and towers is beyond boring. However I did manage to find some things for my parents. Lawl not for my sister who bought me a goddamn iPad Air how am I supposed to match that.
I also decided to give up trying to remember what happened and just restart reading Catch-22 and progress is going better than the first attempt, though that's probably because I was supposed to be studying for exams during the first reading attempt which prevented being able to focus on the story. It better be as spectacular and Suk promised.
Returned to towers on Sunday and somehow managed to find some more presents BUT STILL ONLY FOR MY PARENTS goddamnit my grandparents won't be getting a gift this year. Then I went home and helped my sister bake and decorate sugar cookies for some party she's going to, while watching Love Actually. And then I was forced to stay overnight on the couch because my bed was occupied with my mum's wardrobe. As a results, I woke up at 6am, thanks to Buttons spitting on my face in excitement, with a sore back which was exacerbated by today's labours.
Today, my mum and I helped Alex glue and stick on the last two areas of timber flooring downstairs which took so long. We shouldn't complain though, since last year it took so much longer and with less space upstairs to cover.
Oh yeah and my grandparents collected their newly bought car today... We've just decided to let them do whatever the hell they want.
While rummaging through my desk, I found an envelope and realised on opening it that it was the letter I sent to my Year 12 self during life and resilience week in Year 10. It was so strange reading what preoccupied me back then and I felt this need to write a letter back (to myself) so I did. I ended up with four pages detailing how I've changed from Year 11 to Year 12 so I figured, why not, let's open this a year from now, see the way I perceive my past self and then write another letter and open it the next year and so on and so forth. I mean, right now is kind of a perfect time to think about self discovery and all that jazz. It's going to be a very interesting read in a year. If I can remember, I'll do this every December 23rd. I only settled with this date because the original letter was written November 23rd which annoyed me that I was a month late but oh well.
Anyway, after four hours sleep and a day's work, I am exhausted and it's time for a well deserved rest.
