Devoted blog followers,

December has been simultaneously busy and laid back. It's definitely the best kind of month - much better than when I was a kid and there was a school play, the Christmas parade, holiday parties at all my activities, the Christmas pageant at church, and school until the Friday before Christmas to deal with! (Don't get me wrong, I loved all those things, but now I prefer to spend my free time reading about German politics.)

I finished up my school work with 2 presentations on the first of December, which went quite nicely. After that, all I had to do was give a final for one of my professors. Once all that was over, I got to go home!

To celebrate being home, I went to Fayetteville. All in all, I believe I like the drive to Norman better because it's a state highway and I don't get tailgated by angry Texans.

Hello everyone! For some reason I decided it might be interesting to blog exactly what I did on Tuesday...mostly so when I have a job someday I can look back on how easy I used to have it.

I got up at 9:00. I usually get up around 8:15, but I couldn't sleep last night so I let myself sleep in a bit. When I started getting ready, the pest control guys showed up to spray my apartment - I was still in my pajamas! After that I put my thick sleeping socks back on so I wouldn't get poison on my feet. (I'm particular like that...)

I tend to lose my sleeping socks in my sheets when I kick them off, so I wear the first two I can find. The rest come out in the wash!

Then I ate breakfast! Peanut butter chocolate chip toast & tea. It was delicious. I also rewatched I Ship It while I was eating. Then I checked my email, which always takes a while since OU's email crashes when you try to open it if you're not using internet explorer, which I don't like using.

"Peter Hackett, you broke me!"

I went to the public library to get my reading done around 10. This took me just under 3 hours - I have a lot of reading this week - 36 pages/day for one class and 46 pages/day for another. Some of the people at the library coughed like they had the plague, so that's something to look forward to.



After being good and studious, I went home for lunch, which I ate while watching Keeping Up with the Kardashians. I unironically love that show, so I got sucked in for a bit.

After lunch I finished up my statistics homework, which was really easy this week! It didn't take me that long since I did most of it at 2am when I couldn't sleep. This, of course, merited a reward so I spent some time on the internet before printing off the final version of a paper I had to write about the Israel/Palestine conflict.

My exciting afternoon outing was going to find the recycling center. It was supposedly at the fairgrounds, but I couldn't find it so I had to drive all the way to Hobby Lobby where I did find the recycling area. I also got gas & put air in my tires - my car gets cranky and beeps at me if the air pressure gets low.

When I got home I started revising my short writing assignment about recycling, but I really didn't feel like doing that, and I can take care of it on Thursday. (I'm really quite sleepy since I slept poorly.) Instead I did some data entry for the professor that I work for - it's a bit of a big project and I'm chipping away at it little by little.

After that I mixed up some pizza dough since I still have toppings from when I made pizza last week. As I was waiting for it to rise, I watched Keeping Up with the Kardashians again and then talked on the phone with Emily. Then Stephanie called me! It was great to talk to both of them, especially since I usually don't really talk to many people on Tuesdays.

Since then I made cookies and found some interesting One Direction graffiti in the library bathroom. Happy Sunday, everyone!
