Well, now that that's over....

I think I'm just about back to perfect health again! After a trip to the doctors yesterday, and a diagnosis of bronchitis with some other strange symptoms (like blisters and sores in my mouth and throat!), I'm pretty sure I'll be in good shape for school tomorrow. That's good, considering we have our Christmas concert tomorrow evening and I need to be there to perform!!! Oh well, I'm sure it'll be just fine!!

Anyway, I've been pretty sick, but the antibiotics I'm on seem to be helping greatly.

It's hard to believe that Christmas is only a few short weeks away. It seems like it snuck up on me this year, and I'm really not ready for it in any capacity. I hope to get our family's tree up soon, but I'm not looking forward to it, because I'll have to do almost all of the work with my mom being out of commission.

Perhaps the reason the "Christmas Spirit" hasn't really hit me yet is this overwhelming feeling of increasing responsibility and a generally busy life. After all, it's hard to get into the giving mood, or the Christmas spirit, when working on schoolwork between shifts at work and class itself. On the other hand, I've been really committed to keeping up a decent social life this year, and that may be part of the reason I've been struggling (relatively) with schoolwork.

I'm definitely looking forward to Christmas break!

Well, till next time,

In Christ,

JP
