"Hey... life is pretty stupid; with lots of hubbub to keep you busy, but really not amounting to much."

Brief history of what I've been up to?
Behold, the short (one-word paragraphical) version:

school
school
SCHOOL
Thanksgiving
final!
hiking
packing
sickness
vacation!
work
Santa!
party
sickness

Next up?

baking, baking,
family, family, family,
day off, day off, day off, day off

It's everything I want for Christmas.
