So I am supposed to be studying for my exams, but it is getting late so I thought I would post this instead before I go back to sleep.

So far this past week, I have:

1) Tripped up the stairs (again) and almost fell flat on my face.
2) Butchered a gift-giving mission.
3) Not paid attention to where I was going, turned around, and ran into a column. Hah!

On the plus side, my mom has just bought me two coats recently. They are both the same color although one is a knee-length coat from Guess and one is a waist-length coat from JLo. I also liked this black coat that had a trimmed waist which flared into a skirt at the bottom, but the buttons fell off so I put it back. That brand was Jessica Simpson, surprisingly. (I wonder what that says about her.)

Johnathon was just in my room recently fawning over my coats (0.0;;;), but he liked them, too. He made me try on the JLo coat just to see what it looked like. Talk about mothering me.

Anyway, that was supposed to be my Christmas present this year. My dad offered to get me a Christmas present, too (for the first time in Lord knows how long), but I politely declined. At best, he could reimburse me for the time I went and splurged on all of those novels I bought at the children's book sale. Tee-hee.

Other updates:

My writing: I've pretty much stopped writing poetry, but I do want to start writing this story called The Adventures of Paper Bag Mindy. (I think I'll change the name later.)

My reading: Haven't done any reading for fun aside from some manga and a storybook. Too busy trying to catch up on the reading I should have done a long time ago. Exam review takes up a lot of time too. I do have loads of novels and books I want to read once I am done with exams though. I am trying to regain my speed reading ability during winter break, too.

My grades: Dont' know yet. I should still have a 3.0 at the end of the semester though.

As for everything else, I'll update you on it as it comes up. Ciao, mes amis.
