First of all, December 1! NOW is when people are supposed to get ready for Christmas (unless you don't celebrate it... but if you celebrate something else, you can get ready for that), not in October as some people do...

24 days until Christmas and only 18 to somebody's birthday. I'll give you a hint. It starts with g and it's gogetenkusu.

This also means the end of TV ratings (at least here). A lot of popular shows are ending for the year which means bring on the GOOD shows!

And, worst of all, end-of-year exams (remember, southern hemisphere=summer at the end/start of year so school ends in December).

And I have this weekend to pick the electives that I'll be stuck with next year.
