Back to the real world

So Christmas was interesting. I arrived in Abbotsford on Friday December 14th arouond 8pm. My brother picked me up and drove me to my parents house so I could pick up pjs and a change of clothes (I sent them down with Wendy the year before). We then went back to his house in Mission where I spent the night. Saturday morning around 7am we left to go shopping in the US. Thankfully I was able to purchase most of my Christmas presents. We arrived back in Maple Ridge around 6pm, dropped my stuff of at my parents, then went to the mall to be trained for the booth. Sunday I went to church and hung out with my parents for the day. The remainder of the time prior to Christmas was spent working at the mall, helping my dad with papers, baking, and finishing shopping and holiday preparations. Christmas morning I spent baking while my parents went to the church to scrub the pans from the community dinner the night before. We had our family christmas on boxing day. After christmas my time in Maple Ridge was spent seeing friends and cathching up. It was nice to see everyone again but it also hurt that so much of the focus was on Kaeden and Veronica and in many instances I felt almost completly ignored around people that I have not seen since the summer or even last christmas. I was definatly glad to get back to kamloops and have my own space again.

This semester looks to be decent. So far I have had one class and a four hour break. Got to head to my second class now (yeah Brit Lit).
