It's the night before the night before Christmas!

I stayed in bed until almost three today. Disgusting.

I've been thinking about things to be thankful for...
-- No more Doing Thinking. Ever.
-- I didn't fail enough in Japanese to be remanded to a lower level class
-- My family still loves me
-- My cat still loves me
-- We have an awesome x-mas tree this year
-- My mother still makes cookies with flour in, despite the fact that she's not allowed to eat them
-- Opportunities abound for the intelligent, couch-surfing, amateur programmer in the Land of Apps
-- Amateur programmers in the Land of Apps can develop into experienced programmers without ever having to be nice to assholes, or deal with bureaucratic bullshit, or take classes, or get a degree, or give a damn about all the aforementioned items
 
-- My nephew is wonderful (he makes me think that having kids someday isn't a terribly bad idea)
-- Family Days are a new development but they're already integrating into my sense of equilibrium

I'm hoping to graduate in this coming year. My mother refers to my progress towards a degree as being asymptotic. It's entirely too accurate.
