so far its been a really relaxing winter break, which was much, much needed after this past semester. i ended up with four A's and a C in latin..... which i was devastated about at first but i guess i've come to terms with it. i knew i was getting one by the third test of the semester which pretty much solidified the c. sucks. i've spent the past two days downloading and filling out applications for summer internships, among which includes: three congressmen, two senators, two think tanks, two law firms, and three UN foundations. hopefully i'll get one of them.
christmas was awesome, but its sad because it seems that every year that goes by i get less and less excited for the whole thing. i really didnt get into it at all this year.. and i had the most to celebrate. thursday before xmas we had the gift exchange for the ustac and everyone brought a dish of food... it was absolutely delicious. and then friday night was the gift exchange with josh and his roommates where we all opened gifts and then watched labrynth (haha). list of gifts:
belt, earrings, and necklace from golnaz
a graphic novel about iran from arin
a book on the persian empire from alex
anchorman from jeremy
two eyeshadow duos and a shirt from nickie
a purse from my moms friend
a purse and a lot of lancome makeup from my sister
a fabrege egg jewelry box from my grandfather
3 tops, a pair of jeans, taking back sunday collectors edition cd, 7th season simpsons dvd set, and a tiffany's birthstone ring from josh
ralph lauren pajamas from josh's parents
and 2 really nice tops and a dress from my parents
so actually it was a pretty good christmas. my tutoring job helped pay for all the xmas gifts i bought and i liked the reactions i got from everyone. i wonder why when youre a kid the days go by so slowly, let alone the years, but when youre older the years go by like a flash. i feel so helpless, like i'm clinging to something i clearly have no power over. i also feel like with every passing year i get more tired, like i'm drained of my energy. just thinking about all the things approaching in the near future is enough to make me want to faint... i dont have the energy or ambition to handle these things anymore. i just want to sit.
