Ray of...Light?

Well well.
I have been a very bad student, avoiding class and shamefully behind a deadline with a paper that may have just cost me 25% of my mark. Oh well, I am trying to be philosophical - i got myself into this and there is no point in whining. Just move forward. Today was an improvement.

I worked in the cash office tonight; training there has been touch and go as i felt completely overwhelmed and out of my league since my first training shift. However, tonight, i was pretty much left to my own devices and everything worked. I can't express what a relief this is. I feel like I may actually be able to do this job after all. Thank the lord.

In other ASS related news, we also got new work pants. This may seem a bit lame to the rest of you, but trust me, it is like gold. Gold, baby!!! These pants are like PJ's... they fit, they stretch, they do not automatically turn the wearer into a 50 year old moron. Praise the lord.

However, the best news of the day has nothing to do with school or with work. It has to do with SUNSHINE.

SUNSHINE, PEOPLE.

Maw, Paw, Little Brudder and myself are heading to CUBA for Christmas. It seems too good to be true, but i have just received confirmation that all systems are go and on December 22 I will be sleeping soundly by the beach in Varadero with my beloved kin. (and maybe also some beloved gin). A huge departure for us, but one that i think is long overdue. And only a MONTH AWAY! I feel like the luckiest gal alive.

This could be the boost i need to get me through the resta the semesta.

Peace out.
