Vacate

Christmas break is practically here. It’s still a little under a week before the vacation proper actually begins, but from now until then will likely be a lethargic time where nothing gets done. Tomorrow is Friday, a day when students never want to do anything anyways, and next week is just Monday and Tuesday before a half-day on Wednesday. Nobody at school is going to want to do anything during those two and a half days, so I think it’s safe to assume that it’s all smooth sailing ahead.

It’s just ten days until Christmas anyway, so even if we were to be given assignments at school, I would be able to struggle through them with the thought that a nice sized vacation and holiday are fast approaching. Ten days isn’t very long when you think about it. By the time vacation happens, it’ll only be three days, four if you count the day we get out, until the holiday of holidays. I call it iPod day.

My brother and I have this tradition of playing all the way through the PSone game Incredible Crisis every Christmas Eve. Call me childish, but I can’t contain myself on Christmas Eve. I’m elated. It’s fucking Christmas tomorrow! I just lose it thinking that in less than 24 hours I’ll wake up and walk out into a room full of free loot, all hand-picked and tailored to my liking by various family and friends. Playing through Incredible Crisis the night before has become our crutch, so to speak. Those that haven’t played the game don’t know what I’m talking about, but those that do know where I’m coming from. The game is so fun, frantic, and challenging. We burn up all our energy, and a great deal of time, playing through the game’s story. It doesn’t finish off the entire night of waiting, but the last few times we played through we did burn through a good three hours. That’s sufficient to get you tired enough to fall asleep, at least in theory. I usually end up drink a good deal of Nyquil to give myself a little extra incentive to fall asleep.

lanFOUR happens tomorrow. I won’t go into details of when and where, because we’re already booked up, and throwing extra information out there is just going to get people asking more questions, whom we would have to let down. As with every LAN, I promise to take tons of pictures and throw them in my Flickr PhotoStream.
