Happy Holy-days !

So its Christmas time and to be quite honest, I am not feeling the x-mas spirit. I guess once you figure out the whole thing is a hoax its pretty much lost its meaning. This holiday season however, I am feeling more practical than anything. I have loads to do: Like discover a career path that allows me to be paid well enough to pay off student loans, allow for my excessive book expense, my growing fashion sense, and all the things real Americans desire a house, a car and a dog of my own. Maybe not a house since I live in NY but at least a nice apartment away from the crime ridden neighborhoods, next to a major subway line and some food joints--not to hard right? Wrong! The economy is in the crapper, lawyers aren't getting paid the same and historians are also feeling the pain. and whats worse is, being from the "hood" there are so many things I have to learn and program myself to do before I can even consider myself a fully functional independent adult--all before I turn 21 I might add. There's just a lot to do this Christmas and I feel like all the hooplah is slowing me down, I'll be glad when its over.
