"Peace on Earth/The Little Drummer Boy" by Bing Crosby & David Bowie

So I apologize that I haven't been on in a while I know there aren't many people who keep up with me this way but to the few that do I'm sorry.

Well this semester was a busy one, hence my lack of updating, but I'm glad to say I escaped this trying semester with a 3.63 gpa, which isn't stellar when you consider its the first case of a B or C I've had in 2 years, and I got one of each. Oh well, the both were from classes that I took for granted as easy classes and so there was alot of work I didn't do and should be thankful I didn't get a worse grade.

as far as my social life, I'm sad to see the end of J-stan's hall which was composed of 26 of the greatest guys I know (actually 28 but those guys on the end never did anything with us, I don't even know their names). Next semester several of them, including our leader J-stan, will be leaving some for different floors others for apartments, and still others for overseas programs. Yes, second floor won't be the same.

In general I'm a better guy after this year. I know there are goals I set that I haven't yet reached but I am doing alot better. I'm more positive, more confident, overall I feel better.

I love Christmas and yet I couldn't careless. I love the season but honestly, its just another day. I've said before that I'm not much for birthday's particularly an arbitrarily chosen day in the winter. Not that I don't think that observance of the miracle that is Christ's birth is unnecessary, but that I feel there is, too, much focus on it this time of year and not at other's in fact very few songs that we sing (about Jesus) at this time of year are particular to this season but we have relagated them there because time and usage dictate them to be there. I love some of these songs and wish that I didn't have to wait a calendar year to hear them.

The Song of the Day is "Peace on Earth/The Little Drummer Boy" by Bing Crosby & David Bowie. Now that pairing is a Christmas Miracle.
