"all i want for christmas..."

In the words of pre-crazy and pre-diva Mariah Carey... 'all the lights are shining so brightly everywhere' and I'm freaking EXCITED!

I don't have a picture of my wonderful house all decorated up for Christmas yet... but I have one from last year that I believe everyone should see.



I know this isn't the greastest picture but you need to see this. That's my house on the left (I know, my Mom didn't really decorate last year but after spreading Christmas cheer at home last weekend, I convinced her to get a little more crafty. I'll post pictures next week). My neighbors are on the right. THEY GO ALLL OUT FOR CHRISTMAS. They stuff as many of those really oboxious (I'm sorry if you like them) Christmas inflatables in their tiny yard as they can. They have atleast one for EVERY SEASON.

Here is a better picture.



Yes. You're seeing that right... they have a (obnoxious) CHRISTMAS COUNTDOWN outside their house. Not only does it countdown days, no no they wouldn't stop there. It counts down minutes and seconds. This is so dumb and has become famous among my friends. Best thing is, they put this out before Halloween. Probably 2 weeks before Halloween to be exact. Also, you can't see it but they have a Thanksgiving flag out too. THATS 3 HOLIDAYS in ONE YARD AT THE SAME TIME! Are you kidding me!?! I judged and I invite you to judge with me.

I LOVE Christmas. Quite possibly my favorite holiday. There's nothing better than buying presents for the people I love and seeing their faces when they open them. This year, seeing as how I'm a poor college student I don't have a lot of money or time, I'm going for quality not quantity. I would love to splurge for my friends and family but I just simply can't. But I think the quality of this years gifts will put smiles on everyones face. Hopefully!!!!

I'm officially in full on stress mode. Tomorrow I have a HUGE HUGE HUGE test in my Political Science class. Might as well call it a final that counts for half of my grade. Ridiculous. I'm praying I do good!

Then after that I'm going to go babysit and then go home for the weekend. My dad works 4p.m. to 3a.m. and my Mom is going down to Florida to visit my Aunt Diane so It'll pretty much be me and the cats... oh and my books. This weekend, I'm going home so I can devote myself to studying for my finals ALL WEEKEND. Sounds exciting right!? Obviously, I'll take breaks so I can watch Love Actually.



By far, best Christmas movie ever! I watch it ALL the time in December and don't plan on stopping it anytime soon. If you haven't seen it... then DO IT!

Also, this weekend, I have to do some more Christmas shopping and be crafty. I would love to tell you ALL about it but the people on my Christmas list read this blog so you must wait until after Christmas to see all of my craftiness.

I don't know if I've told ya'll this yet, but I have finals starting next week. I only have 2 finals and their in Math and History. History is on Tuesday and Math is on Thursday. And then... Thursday afternoon... I'M DONE! Yep, DONE. With my first semester that is. I'll be packing up all of my things (even this crappy desktop computer. Next semester... I'll have a pretty new Mac. Yep, I'm gonna be a Mac.) and be heading home for an ENTIRE MONTH! I won't be going back to school until January 11th. So I'll be free from December 11th until January 11th. HOLLA!!!!

While on my wonderful and much needed break, I plan on relaxing, sleeping, hanging out with my best friends, eating actual food, sleeping in MY bed, and going to Florida. Yes, you read that right, the fam (including Andy) will be high tailing it down to Pensacola from December 23rd until December 30th. Right before the New Year, which I can already tell is gonna be a good time!

Well that's all I really have time for. I really must get back to studying, especially before the Victoria's Secret Fashion show comes on! :) I hope you guys have an amazing week and I will talk to you guys soon!

love love love,
Morgan

Oh and by the way, next week, look out for an update of likes and dislikes of dorm life. It's gonna be awesome. You don't want to miss it!
