i'm on break.

i have been on vacation for one week now. boy do i love vacations. so far i have completed the christmas shopping, except for the tall one, baked some amazing gingerbread snowman cookies that are already gone, made a few christmas cards, made a big paper chain for the christmas tree. also yesterday, my big outing was to get movie tickets to see my name is bruce. this is the new bruce campbell movie. he was actually at the theater doing a q&a after the movie. it was great. that man is really funny. he was just telling everyone exactly how it is. one girl asked bruce campbell to call her friend in kansas. so he did. only it was a "Prank phone call..." you've heard of those, right. he asked the dude if he wanted insurance. the guy said yes. so then he said, "well take that insurance and stick it in your *s$!" and hung up. a few minutes later the guy called his friend back and the phone was handed back to bruce. the guy said on speaker phone, "is this bruce campbell?" we, as an audience, cheered. at that point the guy said "if i was back in Ca, i would be there right now..." and bruce said "yea, but your not, so you aren't. and hung up. it was pretty hilarious. made only funnier by the fact that kansas time is 2 hours later than ours and it was 12 here. so it was 2 am there. it was funny. we had fun and the movie was the cheesey camp you expect from him so we were not let down in the least.
the weather has also turned sunny. i guess that is what happens when scott and his girlfriend go to hawaii. it gets almost nice here (it rained and was cold for the four days they were here). so it warms up to at least the mid 50s every day, and is sunny. our neighbor has jonquils now. (that is daffodils or buttercups to some of y'all.) i think things are good. i got my grades. i got a 3.58. i'm not too pumped about a 3.5, but i was talking to my ma and she reminded me that the first year is the exact same as med school, and people fail out of that all the time. so i feel better now. and only 11 quarters left to go. if you time it out in 10 week quarters, (not counting breaks) i only have 110 weeks left in school. sweet! we should make a little paper chain for that. :) count down the weeks. 110, 109, 108... you get the idea. i will talk to you all soon. call if you get bored. i got nothing but time until my family comes on the 26th. yippee!!
