Christmas is upon us!
I am one of those crazy people who think that christmas doesn’t start when the media, the commercials and the yule tide-catalogues decides it’s time. No, I say that christmas starts when december starts. And my dear friends: December has finally started!
So you must all be wondering: How will I celebrate christmas this year?
Well, first of: My long-lost sister will finally be home again. She lives in London, and I haven’t seen her since this summer, so seeing her again will be great! She will be home for 3 weeks, and I intend to spend as much time with her as possible.
The picture is of my sister and me saying good-bye in the airport. (And yes, I was crying. I always cry, both when meeting her and parting with her…)
I will also try to spend as much time with my friends as possible. Co-author Vegard is coming for a visit, my good friend Mari is also coming home from TenSing Norway, and of course my friends in Bodø are as well a priority, seeing as I will be leaving them in january to start my new life in Tromsø.
And yes, there will be family and food and presents and stuff. I’m even contemplating buying a new dress.
I will have more time to think about christmas and breathing into a bag about moving when my exams are over. I’ve got one down, and two to go. This friday will be my ex.phil (history of philosophy), and next wednesday I have my political theory-exam. But the worst one is over, and public policies and administration can suck it! (I even think I did o.k.)
So in one week I will be partying like the world is coming to an end, because my first year of college will be over, and I will be ready to start my life in Tromsø. I will miss the people in Bodø, though. Seriously!
