Merry Christmas, everyone!

We just finished opening gifts. I am very happy with the thoughtful gifts I received from my parents: a couple things for my car, a George Foreman-type grill, socks & underwear, a Chapters gift card, and winegums ;).

I've found that during University there is no better or relaxing time than the two weeks surrounding Christmas. Whether coming off a school term or work term, I can act like a normal person for those two weeks. In other words, do absolutely shit all. Not to mention the two holidays that are jam packed in there. I hope to be making a trip up to Toronto tomorrow with my buddies for some Boxing Day shopping (and saving).

Marks came back and I smoked 3B. I earned my highest average yet by over 6%. I'll be interested to see what my class rank is, as I may not be too far off the Dean's List. I doubt I'll make it, though; your term average minus your percentile rank must be at least 80%, which is pretty damn tough. Having an easy elective helped, although SOC 101 wasn't my highest mark. Looking back, this was easily my most successful term when both academics and co-op are considered.

Well, I begin work on Jan 3 so I've got about a week left to relax and move down. I haven't thought about that yet, as I've been too busy doing nothing at all. Feels nice.

Lots of good sports on today: Indiana-Detroit brawl round II (hopefully!); Kobe vs. Shaq (aka Corvette vs. Brick Wall); NFL; and finally Canada's World Junior Hockey debut. I can't say that all the sports on today will endear wives to sports-loving husbands on this most sacred of days, but you've got to follow it nonetheless, Christmas or not!

Top that off with a delicious Christmas dinner and that's quite the relaxing day.
