So it’s been a while since my last update. I’m not as blue now as I was when I wrote my previous post. I returned to life shortly after that and things are rolling again. I haven’t updated for so long since absolutely nothing out of the ordinary has been going on. And quite frankly the ordinary isn’t very exciting.
Today I did the national maths test. It’s comparable to the american finals. It’s basicly a test covering the entire course I’ve taken. I think it went well. By well I of course mean that I might have passed. An actual good grade is just not something I expect from myself in maths. You know how a lot of people are either good at creative things like languages and art or so called “logical” things like maths, science and such. It’s about different brain halfs being dominant. I’m good at languages and art but maths, chemistry, physics and such are arch nemesises of mine. If I pass my maths course I’ll be as happy as most people would be if they got an A.
Christmas is approaching and it doesn’t feel like it. I miss the christmas magic of my childhood. I don’t know what’s changed because I still love it but it’s not as glittering, magic and wonderful as it used to be. I guess that’s partly because I’m now a part of making it happen. When I was a kid christmas was all about getting. My parents put up the christmas tree the night before christmas and when I woke up it was just there. And when I was a kid I did buy presents but not many or expensive. I got tons of gifts though. Now I buy lots of presents to other people. I make christmas happen now. When I was a kid the grown ups made it happen for me. I didn’t have to plan anything. Everything was just there and all I had to do was to be there. A surprise party is always more exciting than a party you’ve planned yourself, you know?
I’m done with my christmas shopping and I’m posting christmas cards tomorrow. All left to do is to put up some decorations but I don’t do that until the day before christmas. I’m not really fond of christmas decorations. At least not in my own home. They don’t match the rest of my stuff! 
I still put them up but I take them down after a week. If I want to look at decorations I can go to my parents house. They take decorations very seriously. The only thing I want is a christmas tree. A black one which I can decorate in silver and blue. Unfortunately I can’t have one because of my youngest cat. He always breaks and plays with all my stuff and I have a feeling he’d just love a christmas tree. To climb in. To play with. To trash. To tip over.
Anyway, I’m gonna see if there’s anything good on tv tonight. No pub for me tonight. I’m hanging with my friends tomorrow instead.

I know what you mean about Christmas. It’s like all the magic goes out of the holiday after you learn the truth about Santa and have to go into the chaos of shopping, etc etc etc… It’s sad, really.
I really try to get into the spirit of the holiday though. I love to decorate and I LOVE having the family together. Maybe one day when I have kids some of the magic will come back. I don’t know for sure though.
You should try moth balls. They smell bad but they might keep the kitty out of your tree.
Thanks for the comment. Glad you like how things look.
I, myself, am also not so great when it comes to the “logical” subjects. I did a lot better in the creative ones. Although I was really good in algebra, which makes no sense.
I think Christmas lost a lot of magic too. I miss it. When you are a kid everything seems so unreal. The presents, the food, the magic, etc. Now that i know what the truth is behind it, and having to throw it for my kids I have a completely different understanding for the day. I realise just how hard it is to have that ‘perfect christmas’ and just how hard it is to give it.
It definitely just doesn’t feel like it this year. I don’t know if its because the year flew by so darn quickly, because of the pregnancy, or what. I practically had to force myself to get the decorations up for the kids. I’m just not in the Christmas spirit this year. Its a shame, but I guess there’s always next year to prepare myself for.
Anyways, thanks again.
I will try it
Well you know decorations are awesome
I like christmas decorations! however, I’d be fine with just a tree aswell.
it sucks to be a grownup, only when it’s Christmas time. We make kids or other people happy. And there’s no one else to make us happy! XD
I on the other hand isn’t good with language and arts but i’m doing fine with Math, Physics and the like though I don’t really like those subjects.
I hope that you get good results on the exam.
A black xmas tree looks nice.
I also feel that i’m starting to get old coz just like you, i’m one of the people who feels the responsibility of making Christmas happen. I’ve bought a couple of gifts for other people too. Oh well. At least seeing them smile is more than enough for me
I think Christmas has lost most of the magic, too. It’s not something I hate but it’s not a day that I anticipate the way I used to.
I’m sort of in the middle about “logical subjects” and more “creative” or language-based subjects. I did well in most of the sciences but had no passion for it. I think what confuses people is that I write poetry and short stories and am a Creative Writing major but also write PHP scripts.
I hope you get a good grade on the test.
