The days are growing shorter when I really, really need them to be growing longer. I need 30-40 hour days.

It's the end of term and evverrrryytthhinnnngggg is due.

Do you see how big that everything is?

That's how much is due.

As such, I've taken to decorating my house for Christmas. I've printed out a Christmas tree, a Christmas village, and spent far too many hours cutting out paper snowflakes.

My priorities are nowhere near straight.

Anyway, my news for today: I didn't win NaNoWriMo this year, which sucks, but I needed time to write my essays and stories for class (and to spend hours cutting out paper snowflakes).

I'll do a NaNo 2.0 during the second half of December, when things have settled down.

I'll be back soon, but before I go, let me show you a cool video of my Great Uncle arresting Lee Harvey Oswald (It was Oswald's first arrest. The Disturbing the Peace arrest. Not the, you know, killing the leader of the free world arrest.) My aunt sent it to me earlier today. If you're interested, it's somewhere in this PBS special, which I cannot access in England.

I like to play Degrees of Separation.

For example, I know someone -> who knows someone -> who has monthly meetings with J.K. Rowling.

I know someone -> who knows someone -> who knows someone -> who knows someone -> who works for John Green.

This is probably my strangest DoS.

I know someone.

Who knew someone.

Who killed J.F.K.

Best,

Julia
