Post #80: The Holidays, Finals, and Decorated Trees

So it's December, which means holiday time! I've got my christmas music out, and I bought some wrapping paper and everything awesome! I like the holidays because it seems like more people live in my fluffy marshmallow Disney world of color. There are lights and everything is shiny and I love it. Everything is cheerful. And there's christmas music playing everywhere. Yay! And I get to wrap presents which is one of my favorite activities. I love wrapping things, especially square things. Tape and scissors and this year I bought penguin wrapping paper and it's so cute!
December also brings finals for those of us in school. Somehow I ended up with only two finals out of my six classes. And they're both criminal justice, so that's really awesome. I'm not questioning how this happened, I'm just accepting it. This semester went by really quickly, which is both awesome and not so awesome. The only class I wish I wasn't done with is CRJ 211, Policing in America. It was my favorite class this semester. It was so interesting, and everything I learned is ueful, practical information. Everything else was just whatever.
A quick thought on the movie Victor Frankenstein: Don't go see it. Don't be enticed by the great actors. It was awful. Even Harry Potter and Mr. Tumnus couldn't save this trainwreck. In a stroke of irony, this movie was a horrible mashup of different parts of the original novel by Mary Shelley and all of the Frankenstein movies, a franken-frankenstien movie, if you will. And the writing was not great. Just don't go.
So this year I have decided to put a tree up in my room, mostly because I am not allowed to decorate the tree in the living room with police stuff. So I found a pink tinsel tree (not the barbie tree, sadly.) and I'm going to decorate it with police stuff! My mom found me some CSI tape, platic toy handcuffs, and a cute little police officer ornament.

Ta-da!
Happy Holidays!
