Fa-la-la-la-la

Hello there. Sorry it has been a while. I finally got Internet up and going. So, I figure I will post once more before the holidays. You probably will not hear from me until school starts up again.

We left on the 13th for Vegas. It's a nice place....well what I have seen of it. Which has been our condo, the grocery store and CVS. Being out of school has been real nice. I have stayed in my pjs for most of the days I have been out here. It snowed two days after we got here. Very unexpected. It hadn't snowed like that here in over 30 years. It was exciting but it all melted by the morning...disappointing. The condo is nice. I like it. Excluding the fact that I do not have a room...

Let me explain why...Originally Brittany was supposed to stay in AZ to go back to school and I am in college.. So, Mom/Dad got a three bedroom condo, figuring that whenever Britt and/or I came to visit we would use the "spare" room. However, Brittany has officially moved out here (go figure) and brought a friend out to help with the move (not to mention to keep Brittany busy and out of all of our hair). So I really cannot even share a room with Britt (no comment). So, I am sleeping on the couch. Not a big deal. I will only be here about a week more (totalling two weeks).

...It took forever to get cable and Internet too. But we have it now, thank goodness!...Christmas will be real quiet this year if not silent. On the 27th Lindsey and Kristen are driving out here to spend a few days with me before we all head back to AZ on the 29th. As much as I love my family, I cannot wait to get out of here. I have truly grown up. I love them to death, I just cannot be there full time any more...it is not good for my health... (I am being just a tad dramatic)...

Hopefully, we will get tickets to the stage show of Mamma Mia, which is here in Vegas, for when the girls get out here.

School starts back up on the 20th. This semester I got all A's and one B. This is embarrassing, the B is in my Orientation to theatre and film class....because I missed one day. I emailed her telling her I was going to miss. She told me to email her my assignment and she would excuse me from participation...Well, she lied. I got zeros in both of those and when I questioned her, she said it was against policy to excuse me without a proper note from a doctor (if she would have told me this I would have gotten one...ugh). I have A's in every other assignment in that class...but since it was only a 5 week class...I got screwed.
I am waiting for my math teacher to post my grade, but I know i have an A....so, as of now i have a 3.8 GPA...which will go up a little.

I am pleased.

random side note...the guy who lives under us....HATES US.....
He came up and complained the other night that we are too loud...
Now before I go to defend my family I will say this: we are (normally) a loud family...
However, He said there is an 11 o'clock quiet time (which is messed up) and it was 11:30.
Mom talked to a lady from the neighborhood and she said that they have been trying to sue the people who built these condos because the walls and floors are very thin and there has been complaints for the slightest of things.
Today mom and I were laying in her bed watching TV, completely still and quiet, and this guy starts banging on his ceiling (basically telling us to be quiet)....UH HELLO.....
We have been relatively quiet...yet he keeps complaining on us....W/E

Anyway, other than that things are just peachy. That wasn't as sarcastic as it sounded.

I want to wish everyone a Happy Holiday season. I love you all and will either write again sometime this week or after the holidays.

Bon Appetit!
Em

Emily-Ann, it was wonderful to Skype you the other day! The condo looks nice (despite your dining room sleeping arrangements). Mom wants to Skype you again soon--we all miss you!!

You know what? Every time I see the title of your post, I don't think about the Christmas carol that I am assuming you are trying to replicate, but rather, the Smurf theme song and then it gets stuck in my head and I think about Papa Pat and Holly and Little Miss Anna all day long. I know it shouldn't, but for whatever reason, it does.
