I had an OK Christmas. Cate made a good holiday out of it just a few days of places being closed. She accomplished this first by just being Cate, and secondly by giving me a kick-ass end-table with a built-in radio that was made in 1946. The radio works fine but needs a little bit of restoration. What a kick-ass gift! It wasn't on any gift wish list which made it all the better really. If I had a list I'm sure it would have had something like an iPod mini for working out and playing around with but damn, a 1946 radio!
The downside was that Cate was on call for xmas so I went with her and hung out - its very boring in the town in which she works.
My parents ended up giving Cate 2 gifts and me nothing. Isn't that odd? I think they think the gifts are for both of us and all but these are gifts that are Cate's, no question. They love her lots.
Also during the holiday I got a letter from UNC telling me my registration was dropped. OK, so I decided to go back to school. I wanted to go to a couple of classes to see if I want to pursue it and, if so, to get back in the swing of things. The letter said I was dropped because I haven't registered for any classes. OK, if they would open the registration back up I would! The registration is on the web and I have never seen it open to accept new registrations. When I asked my advisor she simply said that I had to wait for it to open. Well, yeah! Now I have been dropped and I imagine its going to take all of the paperwork I did before to get back in... before classes start! This really blows as I have no work for January, and now no school. Merry Christmas from UNC Dave!
On top of all that, my dog is limping worse than a few days ago. He has to go to physical therapy in Raleigh soon.
I hope your holiday was better than mine. In other news, the more I read about it, the more I want to be [shout out to b] a Buddhist.
