I CAN REACH FINISH LINE???

I just got back from finishing my Spanish final and running some last minute educational errands, but I'm officially done with my first semester as a college student. I can't even believe it's been so long, but I guess what they say about time flying while you're having fun really holds. It scares me how fast it's going, especially now that I feel grown and like an adult. I've met so many amazing people at school thus far, even grown to love a few of them. I took real college classes, some that I liked but most that I didn't (but that may be school in general, the jury is still out). Plus I got an internship with an awesome label that I've been a fan of for a while, which despite not being associated with Island/Def Jam anymore will still rule the world one day. In my honest opinion, that is. And I got to meet really some really fucking wonderful people through Stolen Transmission too.

On the way back from all of this, I called my mom. And then I cried really long and happily.

For Christmas, in addition to buying all of my close friends here a little somthin-somthin, I am writing them holiday letters instead of holiday cards. I've always found holiday cards a bit more impersonal, especially when most people just buy cards in bulk and fill out the names of everyone they know to show they "care". Care is a little more heartfelt, in my opinion. So I went to a cute little stationary store on 13th street and picked out some awesome silver paper with matching envelopes. I've got only one left for my college friends and I still can't decide if I'm going to write for my friends from home. I might as well? One of the letters, to my best friend here, is a little more emotional than the rest of them for certain reasons. I was freaking out while writing it, but now I'm kind of stoked to give it to him.

So what does the rest of the weekend entail you ask?

1. Getting as drunk as I fucking can. I told my mom this on the phone.
2. Seeing Courtney and hitting up a Straylight Run/The Color Fred/Cassino show, and then going to Stolen Transmission (finally, it's taken me all of two and a half months!!) I am SO beyond excited to see Cassino live since I was the biggest nerd for Northstar.
3. Seeing Molly tomorrow, and for more than three hours at once!!

So uhh, yeah. I think that about wraps up whatever exciting shit I have to say at the moment. The weight has been lifted and I'm ready for my mega dosage of R&R. Happy holidays, since I prob won't write in here again til at LEAST Christmas.
