Spent all evening trying to figure out appropriate Christmas and one-year (January 3!) presents for my boyfriend. I think I got it? But it will require a little running around tomorrow, since I don’t want to pay $30.00 for fast Amazon shipping. I really shouldn’t have waited this long for shopping… I blame it on finals.

On Facebook, I just defriended a professor who has been nothing but passive-aggressive and mean to me all semester. It was a way for me to push this individual’s negativity from my life. No, you’re not going to control it. It was a way for me to put some small measure of power in my hands. I better than what you make me feel. I can persevere without you. It was deeply satisfying.

I won’t see the Boyfriend until after Christmas. Seems like every time he comes back, he has to leave so soon. I don’t like it. We talked about post-grad plans last night. That conversation sucked. (Does it go well for anyone?)
