Before I forget - anyone who wants a Christmas card from me and hasn't already said so, let me know in this entry. Yes, I know it's rather early to be planning for this. Shhh.

Anyway! I'm feeling better now. Still sore, but feeling better. Thank you, everyone, for your support. <3

I got a surprise package from Minni today. Letters! And salmiakki chocolate! Ahhh <3 It made me so happy, and kind of took away some of the sting of receiving my bills in the same batch of mail, ouch. It also reminded me that I still owe several people letters. (I intend to write them, really! It's just that I have trouble finding quiet time to do it!)

I keep wrestling with myself. I need to learn to relax! The problem is, I have so little free time and I'm never able to get anything done. So, if I just chill out instead of doing the things that I need to do, I tend to feel awful about it.

... I say this because I spent most of the afternoon playing my harmonica instead of studying French, and now I feel bad about it. I should have used that time to study. I only get two days in a week that I realistically have time to study, and today was one of those days.

On the other hand, it's good that I used that time because it's hard to get a chance to play it - I can't play it when mum's home because that's annoying, so I have to either go outside (and damn, it's cold) or wait until she leaves (which doesn't happen often).

But STILL. I shouldn't neglect studying---

... Even though it's just for fun and there's no need to push myself hard because I'm not getting graded on this and it isn't as if the French is anything more than a hobby and --

Yeah, basically that. That harmonica is just way too tempting, man. It's shiny and cool and it's super fun to play it even though I really, really suck at it.
