"sounds like it won't be any fun at all>_<" [Indiana Vulpix]

College is usually a lot of fun, for reasons that you will find out about.

I can vouch that, for me, the first semester of my own personal senior year of college is currently one that could be classified as "Rockin'" by some scholars.

Yes, that *is*, in fact, an apostrophe in the place of the letter 'g.' The scholars in question grudgingly certified its use after I showed them my exciting results in this year's anthropological studies.

They weren't happy about it, said it wasn't in the budget.

But dangit, I wanted that apostrophe. In the end, they conceded to my demands.

And that's the story of how Afgncaap5 saved Christmas.

Awesome-in'!

"And that's the story of how Afgncaap5 saved Christmas."

Did you get a good interest rate on it?

Well, on Christmas itself I only got about as good an interest rate as you'd expect for any other festive day, but since I decided to use all 12 days instead of just the one I got a fantastic deal! I'm still raking in the cash to this day.

Good for you!

Thanks. I could've done more if I wanted, though. As one of the few people in the world who celebrates both Christmas and Hannuka, I'm one of the only ones who gets twenty (potential) days of presents instead of just 12 or 8 (granted, though, most of the time some of those days take place at the same time.)

*blinks* interesting.........

That can also backfire. Jake Gyllenhaal was born on December 19th in a mixed faith family, and he got *one* gift to cover Christmas, Hanukka, and his birthday.

Ewww.

Yeah, that's how Jake felt about it.

How is that backfiring, though? The point of the respective seasons isn't about receiving presents.

That's just the icing on the cake.

Like I said above, there's merely potential for 20 days of presents. In actuality, I only get gifts on December 25th. But if I give the right people presents on all of those days, the probability of reciprocation increases slightly.

I'm glad it all works out for you. I'm not very imaginative about thinking of suitable gifts for people. For me, the greatest gift is getting together with family and friends. Their rpesence means more to me than their presents.
