It's been yet another long time since my last post. Let's see, what has happened since the first Sunday of this month.. The biggest things were the hours problem at work, which I lost. The big boss said my manager was in the right, but he did say that next time there's work available at the end of the day that I can just leave it for the morning crew to do in the morning. You know what that means.. I'm going to take advantage of that fact any and all times I can. For now on, every time I work nights, there will be at least two hours of extra work saved up for the morning shift.

I've been shopping my heart out. I've gotten presents for nearly everyone. I got one for my mother, father, sister, brother-in-law, two of my nieces, one nephew, Preston, Zombie, Jen, Sean, Lance and his current girlfriend Christine, Sam, and I've still got my brother and sis-in-law from Wisconsin to consider. I've been making 220 a week for the past couple weeks, so luckily I can afford this, but I want to save up this paycheck and next week's so when Sam visits.

Oh yeah, the best news evar: I found out what my surprise that my family, friends, AND Sam have been keeping from me for over a month.. Originally Sam planned on arriving on Jan 3rd after visiting her mother and friends in Wisconsin, but my Mom payed for an early ticket for her so that she's arrive on the 27th! I'm glad, too. Mom noticed how I was getting so depressed over her absence over the holidays. She may not be here for Christmas, but I'm glad she'll be here for New Years.. 'cause I've never had that New Year's kiss, and it was tearing me apart that if I couldn't at least celebrate Christmas with Sam, so this will make for it. :3

Originally I had no plans for New Year's either, but since I found out that Sam's going to be here, I quickly rushed into making plans and inviting everyone that I know that hasn't already made plans.. which, unfortunately, isn't very many. Most of the people that I try getting in touch with either say they have plans or are unsure what they're doing that night. But, I'd rather just have Sam instead of a big group, so it doesn't bother me much. I'm just glad that I can get these people to meet the love of my life. :3

So yeah, she's staying now from December 27th (next Thursday) until January 7th (a Monday), which is nearly two weeks worth of visiting! I've got so much I want us to do.. (but I'm not going to post that stuff here, since she reads this.. =P Sorry, hun.) And I hope we can do it all, because I want to show her what it's really like here in New England. I'm also open to suggestions from others, if they have any recommendations, like places to go in Boston.

Also, lately I've been playing a shitload of YuGiOh, all thanks to my co-worker. I found out that Zombie, Lance, and Kevin used to play. Now I'm going to see if I can get them all back into it, so that I have someone other than my co-worker to play everyday at work. Lol. But really, so far I'm borrowing Lance's deck dubbed "Nija" (which is "devil" in Polish), consisted of Zombie/Effect and Fiend/Effect's, which I removed most of the Fiend's and turned it into a wicked Zombie deck. Kicked both my co-worker's and Zombie's ass with the new version of it. When I get enough money after Sam visits, I'm going to go onto EBay and buying a box of booster packs (for 30-30$) and making my own deck, because it sucks to be borrowing someone's deck all the time.

So what else is new.. well, I haven't been to a club lately, and I hope to go to Resurrection tonight in Manchester, NH, but with how the weather looks right now I'm unsure about that. There's been so much snow, I mean, jeez. Two weeks ago we got a foot, a week later another foot, and this week.. I bet you we get two feet.. totaling in four feet total. I haven't seen this much snow pile up in years, and I'm not complaining for once. I used to hate shoveling and snow, but I'm gonna love showing Sam how much of a Winter Wonderland New England is. Hehe. That, and I can't wait to go sliding when it finishes snowing. Man, that's gonna be killer.

My final written exam for Beginning Jap 1 was last night, and I know I already aced it, because she told me that I got an A from doing everything else. It was so easy, that I think I may have made a few mistakes, but I'm not worrying. My final exam for the Computer class was easy. We were told to write five simple programs and write their flowcharts. I copied someone's programs, that everyone had access to, edited it so that I changed the nature of it.. wrote a generic flowchart for all of them.. e-mailed it to him and ta-dah. Done. Now I can't wait for next semester.. ;3

Also, I've been burning DVD's up a storm. I've freed over 100GB of information from my Storage HD after about three weeks of keeping at it. lol. Other than this... I think that's it! Adios, muchachos. I hope you all have a great Christmas/Winter Equinox Celebration and Happy New Year's
