December is an awesome month. We just got confirmation that the furniture we ordered in August is shipping on Monday. It should arrive in less than two weeks. I am officially finished my first run through the P90X and do the final fitness test on Wednesday. As of Tuesday, this stupid course is finished, my voluntary prohibition is finished, and I can start gearing up for the lan party weekend.

December will be non-stop food, drinking, and socializing. Well, and accelerated tax-accounting to finish my next course before our trip. But I'll take small victories where I can find them!

The first half should be kinda crappy for me- Morgan's suddenly got to cover hours for someone at work, so she's going to be super busy with that, and I've got the last couple weeks of school and finals.

But the second half of December should be nice.

How late do your classes go into December?

About halfway. Our finals are scheduled from the 14th to the 17th.

That could be worse, but it could be better.

Yeah, it isn't too bad. And I'm not going anywhere for Christmas, so that's not really a concern.

Spring semester doesn't start until January 16th, though, which I really a longer break than I want. I'd really like for classes to start on the 9th. Then maybe I wouldn't have to worry about having finals on my birthday.

It's December! I bought 3 Innis and Gunns and 2 La Fin du Monde beers to celebrate the end of my disinebriation and I've already forgotten everything I spent months trying to learn. It's great to be a student!

Morgan finally got paid for the job she did at the Symphony last week. I'm trying to convince her we should take a trip to BevMo to celebrate.

Really, I do miss the the state liquor stores in Utah....

Who would guess that putting the Income Tax act, legislative readings on tax planning, substantial discourse on Canadian tax law, and a comparative discussion about the inter-relation of all three would result in a mind-numbingly dull course?

As the semester slogs to it's inevitable conclusion, I got two of my papers back in class today. My Constitution professor gave me a 99%, complimented my professional tone and said she'd be glad to give me a law school pep talk if I wanted, which was nice. My Shakespeare professor gave me a 98%, and as far as I can tell that 2% knock was because I didn't put a title on my paper. Ugh.

You have a course on the Constitution?

Yes, as obsolete as the poor thing has become in the past decade.

At this point, I'm really leaning towards getting my degree in Political Science, so I'm going to have a lot of classes on governmental concepts that are nigh archaic, I suppose.

Also, today I realized that I need an 83% on my German final to get an A in the class. I thought I needed less than that and then he weighted some things differently, but oh well. I figure I've got a good shot at it.

American Government is practically all about the Constitution of the US.

He means the American government is practically all about riding a lawnmower over the Constitution and then interpreting the pieces.

Two finals down, three to go. Fortunately, I've got a couple of days to recover before the next one on Tuesday.

A couple days? That's a perfect amount of time for a bender. I'll meet you in Vegas.

Sounds like a hell of a plan to me. Make it so.
