Well, the lab final came and went, and it was pretty much what I expected. Mostly basic chem stuff, a little bit of the more obscure things we did in lab but for the most part nothing I couldn't handle. And now, for a month of relaxtion- I hope.

Anyway, before I left Penn I paid a visit to the school bookstore. I intended to get a present for Ben (a combination Christmas/birthday/consolation present, if you will), and I knew exactly what I was going to get, so it was intended to be a pretty quick trip. Then I realized that I hadn't gotten anything for Mandy, and things just went from there. By the time I got into the (very long) line for the cashier, I had a present for Ben, Mandy, Daddy, and Brian. All told, I spent about 40 minutes and over $40 in there. I should be biting my nails over how much I have left in my bank account, but somehow I just don't care. Afterall, if I can't spend money on my family for Christmas, what kind of person does that make me? And as for Ben, it's the least I can do for him, all things considered. I can't even imagine what his Christmas will be like this year.

Unfortunately, I can't write what I got anyone, because they might read it of course and then that would ruin the surprise. So I guess you will all have to wait until Christmas Eve to find out what they got. ^_^

And it's funny, but today I feel truly beautiful.
