I can’t seem to find the Partridge in a pear tree that you sent me.

But I don’t expect to find it until December 25th, which is (contrary to popular belief) the first day of Christmas in accordance to the song The Twelve Days of Christmas. Most people thinks it starts today, but in reality the twelve days actually start on Christmas Day and ends on the eve of Epiphany. I’m not going to pretend like I know everything about these 12 days in particular. There’s always wikipedia for those of you who are interested.

Point is – it’s December 1st. Crazy! I know. Where has all the time gone?

And I love it because everyone is in such a happy joyful Christmas (politically correct Holiday) mood. Starbucks has got the red cups. The radio is allowed to play songs like It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year. But in truth, that just makes me think of the Staples commerical of kids going back to school.

Haha, I love it.

Totem got a little dash of holiday spirit last weekend with th Totem Park Semi-Formal and Snow Ball. I must say that I loved the decorations and the food was great. For once, the caf was very extra extra read all about it generous with the portions. I hope I wasn’t the only one prego with food baby afterwards. I can’t believe there’s still chocolate cake left overs in the caf. C’mon people, how can you resist!? It’s 85 cents with your meal card! Doooooo it.

The Food Services Staff even got dressed up too. It’s always nice seeing how people, especially the opposite sex (wink wink) can clean up. Talking about clean up. Hollla Movember is over! Thank goodness. Not saying I don’t support Prostate Cancer awareness but I have a friend who actually “Just-For-Men”-ed his blonde stache because people could not appreciate his fully grown peach fuzz. Props to all the guys out there that stuck it out for the month. I know it’s some male pride thing. I’ll have you know that I did make a fake stache and wore it… for about an hour.

What was I talking about? Snow Ball was lots of fun. It’s really interesting the affinity some people have for dancing on a stage. There’s squares that are lighting up and everyone must somehow find their way onto one because it’s like OMG! instant fame. I don’t know. But the icicles from the ceiling and fake snow made me feel like I was in some Gossip Girl episode from season two. (Okay so I looked it up and specifically 2×12 “It’s a Wonderful Lie” when the gang go to the *gasp* Snowflake Ball).

Anyways. Cheers to the last few days of actual classes everyone! I’ll still be blogging during the exam period. Goodluck with the studying. Since silent hours are starting soon (and my RA is on my back because of my loud mouth – I’m really really really really sorry I can’t help it Twig* if you’re reading this!) it looks like blogging will be my way of speaking out!

I’ll just have to imagine I’m doing the Vow all over again. (A post to come on that soon enough).

Yours truly. Love,

Ned
