Freedom

I'm free now - Christmas vacation has started as of today :) *yay*. We had our last lesson this morning where we got our tests back (I am very pleased, it turned out much better than I had hoped), and talked to the teacher about grades - I will get a VG. I must say I am very happy with that! I never thought I would manage to go back to school, so this season has definitely been a step forward for me. I have felt overwhelmed a lot of times, but in the end I DID IT :) And I have to remember that I only took this course to have something to do and get some kind of structure in my weeks. I tend to always feel that whatever I do it's not enough. But I'll have to let go of those thoughts somehow. Anyway, it feels like I really deserve this Christmas break now to boost up some energy if possible.

So, now I'm sitting here waiting for the mailman. It's almost 1 P.M and he still hasn't arrived. These past few days he has been very late. I want mail!! LOL! That's always one of the best part of the day. I'm a shop-a-holic (thanks to ebay and other places online) so it's always exciting with mail for me. Yesterday I got the very last season (or should I say last 5 movies) of the tv series Little House on the Prairie. I am still "only" on season 8, and then I have season 9 to watch as well before this one. But I got it for a pretty good price on a Swedish auction site so I am happy with it :) Now I don't have to worry about buying it from the US since customs have been rude in the past and taken out fees for some of the box sets :(

I also got a bunch of history magazines yesterday. Got those too from Tradera. I LOVE to read history mags (I thanked my teacher today for waking up my interest in history lol. She truly has been a good teacher! made sure to let her know that - and YES the grades had already been set so I didn't do it for that reason haha). AND I also got a magazine which I bought months ago from a person on ebay. She charged me $12 for shipping when in fact it was only $6.50! How rude is that? I will have to send a complaint to her, because for $12 she should have sent it by air, not surface mail.
