what a lovely holiday. much preparing, eating, and singing of scary solstice songs. rob had another place to hang out (a "real new mexican christmas" w/ tamales and all), and michael was in seattle, so it was just me & sven, but i feel like i had one of the best christmases ever.
i mention this because i remember how i felt at this time last year: desperate, hopeless and insular. i felt like i had no options and that there was no way for me to do any good at csusm. i remember wishing on a star while driving back to california from colorado, and it turns out that wish came true, in ways i couldn't have possibly forseen.
tomorrow i'm off to corvallis to see rob. wednesday (!) i go to the coast for four days to celebrate the new year (i need to think of something to teach in 15 minutes!). i just can't even believe how fast time is flying. happy, happy, happy holidays. :)
