Seems things are getting serious between me and my boyfriend. His family invited me down to their Christmas party at his aunt's house. I should be able to make it, considering the timing of the party and Christmas break. I've already met his parents and they seem to like me. He met mine last month and is hoping to come up the week after Christmas to see my parents and me. Whether extended family members are involved is unknown at this point.

Of course, here's my dilemma: If I go down there, I'll probably need to bring gifts for everyone. I have no clue what anyone wants or likes, so I'll have to ask beforehand. I'll ask Mom to help pick out some stuff, too.

As for me: if one of my aunts buys me another tiny purse, I am going to flip. They should know what I like by now. Get me stuff I can actually use, you know? I did ask for some stuff, but I'm also hoping for practical things, like jammies and socks. It's so much better not buying them myself.

Also, the new trimester of school starts Monday. This is a good thing. I'm beginning to have trouble preoccupying myself at times, and my sleep schedule is extremely erratic. Taking nine credits, six of them grad classes, three undergrad Spanish. I just need to get through the Spanish and I'll be set, unless I decide I want to take more. I'm not sure at this point.

Cold and snowy out. May be just a good time to curl up in bed.
