Three month anniversary, and still counting!

(bear in mind, though I am posting this now... I wrote this before Christmas and forgot to post it!)

Wow has it been a long time since my last post! Granted, when I started up this blog, it was meant to be much more than what it has been. I was thinking that with my busy schedule of Master's course work and general life adventurism I'd be blogging night and day. Much to my surprise and dismay, I've been unable (extremely unable) to keep up with even a morsel of my original intentions. It's alright, though. What I lack in blogging I make up in photos on Facebook. However, that is diminishing too as I can't be bothered now to even snap photos anymore. The question is, what have I become? At the tender age of 23, I feel as though I lack the energy to even express myself creatively anymore... which is something that should be relatively easy and enjoyable.

Though all of these musings are marvelously besides the point, I have decided to actually dedicate this blog about the many major details of my life. Just so you out there (the 2 or 3) who actually read this blog will appreciate what I do to keep my days full. Now, five days before Christmas and four days before the Eve, I finally have some quiet time to reflect.

As the days draw closer to Christmas, so come the many wonderful Christmas cards from across the ocean to remind me that I am loved. However, I have sent my fair share of holiday cards using the very efficient (but expensive and often times inefficient because they have a tendency to go on strike as the worker's union is very much alive in this country) Royal Mail. I am just happy that most of my cards have made it safely back home.The Christmas cards that I chose to send (most of my friends and family in Utah) are from Oxfam. I believe that charity is present all the time here in the UK... everytime I walk down the street somebody is trying to get me to donate to some charity. I think that it is good. I once read somewhere the the United Kingdom is one of the most charitable nations in the world. I can now understand why.
