So far this christmas break has been pretty good. Ever since getting out from school I have worked everyday and have stirred up some business. I've hung out with the G.F. a ton and hung out with some of my friends back from school I think one or two days if that. Actually, that is what I wanted to write about. When ever I've talked to my close net of friends that are coming home from school, we all express interest in hanging out and spending time together. Well, it seems kind of funny what college life does to some people. From my observations it seems that most people become....um....shall I say worthless? The people that you once knew that were disciplined, on time, and mature, are now lazy, unorganized, and can't even keep up with the schedule in their pitiful, non-eventful life. Of course this is a huge generalization, but I am speaking from my personal experience. And not all of them have come that way, but I would say that 80% of them have. Even when you try and hold them accountable, they just dismiss you and acknowledge the fact that being worthless is now acceptable. Hate to say it, but in my book it is not acceptable. I have been told that I matured at an unbelievable rate, but I didn't think that I was that far ahead. Shoot, even all the people in my office thought I was 24 until recently! Another observation that I have made is that I do not communicate well with other people my age. The evidence that supports this observation is the age range of most of my friends I have here, which is 23-51. And these are all adult males that I hang out with and confide in on a weekly basis. The only other reason that I was thinking about was the fact that they may feel excluded because of my girlfriend. But I set aside two nights for us to hang out with and one of them we hung for like 20 minutes and then the next night nobody called me and let me know what was going on and they didn't have their phones on. Is it just me or does that just seem kinda wierd?
Anyways, christmas was a really busy day. I opened gifts with my parrents early then went and ate lunch with the G.F. and her family, and then came back down to my house and ate dinner with my family......and then....we went back up to her house and watched a movie with her grandparents. So, it involved a lot of driving but overall it was really good. As far as what we got for christmas, this year was kinda out of the ordinary. Normally, everyone in our family gets one really big expensive gift each and then we all get other smaller gifts. Well this year has to be the smallest christmas we have ever had. Not because of money reasons, but becaues we basically have everything we really need and so none of us could think of anything really BIG that we needed. I got a couple of dress shirts and a few odds 'n ends but I didn't feel like I missed out on anything just because I didn't get a "ton" of gifts. It kinda is a good feeling. But I gotta go find something to do cause I haven't done anything productive today and I have a full schedule of work this week.
