The Christmas carol lyrics say this is the “most wonderful time of the year.”  Maybe when I was 6 and still believed that Santa Claus was going to bring me

a ton of stuff.   Now it’s the most confusing time of the year.  It’s the Holidays which means it’s either Christmas or Hannukah, I never know which comes first.   It’s the semester’s end, the new year, and a new semester starting.  You’re finally adjusted to your new apartment and resigned to the awful roommate and then you’re home for the holidays, back in your bedroom (your small apartment seems gigantic now) and dealing with your little brother or sister all over again. You’re in the black hole of transition. Transition should be a curse word.

Why is Taylor Swift singing a pop song?  Isn’t she a country singer? I’m confused. Is pop music going to change, or is country music changing?  I’m going to get confused listening to the radio now – Taylor’s on the pop stations and country stations.  What station is this?

Holiday gift buying is killing me. How can anyone afford this stuff? I’m going to the movies….will have to ask Mom for some cash. I’m out of money because of all that holiday shopping (some for myself).   “The Interview” was supposed to start on Christmas day but that nut Kim Jun something or other is threatening to kill us if we see it. Seriously bro, it’s just a movie.  That I won’t get to see. When has that ever happened???

I’m so tired of my brother stinking up the bathroom….maybe he could go to camp Korea…did I just think that?!…I can’t wait to have my own bathroom back when I go back to school! Scratch the movie…I’ll go for some Frozen Yogurt…oh the malls!….all those shoppers. Pulllease, people!!  WHY do they wait until the last minute?

Oh, I forgot Aunt Beth’s gift.  Here I go…well at least the price of gas is down.

But what goes down, must go up, or is it the other way around?  I never got that crude price per barrel thing.  I’m confused.  Again.

I wonder if Mom would lend me some money so that I can go to the mall….

Oh GOD!  I wish I were back in my apartment sitting on my Cheeto covered couch with my roommie watching Late Night.  Except someone told me that some of the late night shows are switching too…maybe I should study instead..or should I watch the new show?   Oh the decisions at such a confusing time in my life.

I can’t wait to go back to school (and my APARTMENT) and maybe all these changes will STOP!  Enough already!

Oh…Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah, and Happy New Year!

I think.
