it is (surprise surprise) nearly four o clock in the morning, and yet i am unable to sleep. without school to keep me grounded, i am losing all track of time and space. i am in my final days of winter break, before i go back to my usual life at Trinity Western University, but this break has been absolutely wonderful for several reasons:
- i spent time with everyone in my immediate family (so great)
- i had a lot of fun with some awesome friends
- i enjoyed the break from community standards :)
- i took in some excellent movies
- i had the chance to read!

speaking of awesome movies, i saw Garden State over the break, which is an amazing film. I also saw Napoleon Dynamite which, in its own sarcastic and almost-painful way, was hilarious.

i started reading The Satanic Verses by Salman Rushdie which has been very interesting so far. I was really hoping to have it done by the end of the break, but I am starting to have my doubts as to whether or not that will actually happen. maybe if I get in a good solid chunk of reading tomorrow and sunday, it is still possible.

it's also been wonderful to meet new people over the break, or simply spend time with people that i have not hung out with very much this semester.

but even though the fun is, in some ways, over, i'm still looking forward to my classes this semester -- particulary American Lit and Canadian Lit.
nah -- the fun's never over.
