Not feeling very nerdy now.

Yes, she knows full well she should be studying for her last semester final, but somehow the procrastinating part of Elise managed to convince her that this could be postponed one day longer. Or at least a few hours longer... which turned out to be... well, the whole day. So she did some grocery shopping, washed clothes, made dinner and surfed and watched TV all day long. And listened to Christmas songs. And catched up on her reading of "Wuthering Heights". And she felt no remorse at all, though she reckons she should have.

This world is getting stranger every day. This isn't me during exams. That is, this shouldn't be me during exams.

"I'm driving home for Christmas... Oh, I can't wait to see their faces..."

Sorry about that... Just like that song... Besides, it really expresses what I feel at the moment... Missing friends and parents. "Get my feet on holy ground..." Oh yes. But it won't be long now. Just a few more days, an exam and a sushi dinner later and I'll be laughing. *longing sigh* There. Done. Won't turn myself into a pile of mush. This is neither the time nor place.

Ooh! Elvis singing "Here Comes Santa Claus"! :-D That song just sums up his way of singing. "Here comes Santa Claus-uh, here comes Santa Claus-uh..." Always makes me laugh out loud. Can just picture him with his famous raised upper-lip and infamous hip movements while he's singing it. I wouldn't be surprised if he actually did that while singing it. Wearing a Santa costume. More fun(ny) than heartwarming, really.

Ok. Enough nonsense. Don't really have anything of interest to write here, so I'll spare you from having to endure more mindless chatter. Or gobbledygook, for that matter. ;-)

I'll shut up now.

Almost done (*yey*),
Elise

Ooooh, Chris Rea, "Driving Home For Christmas"!! Great song! I love it, and love the Christmas-commercial for marzipan-pigs where they use that song.. :D

Yeah, I know! Wonderful song! As I said, the lyrics basically sum up what I'm feeling right now... And as for that marzipan-pig commercial, it's just one of those classic commercials that you just have to watch every Christmas! Just like that Coca-Cola commercial with the trucks... *sigh*

And as for that sushi-dinner thing, you are more than welcome to join us! :-D That goes for any of my friends who happen to be reading my blog and have the means to get to downtown Oslo! Man, I can't wait! :-D

Ok, enough sushi talk, or else I'll get immense cravings here! ;-)

Christmas hugs to the world,
Elise
