And so it is a Christmas... and new year (almost). Today, Saddam Hussein was hanged. Serves him right, i reckon. I am not a big fan of capital punishment but he is h'or categorie as the French would say.
We (Amanda and I) celebrated christmas at my parents'. My grandma was there and my uncle and aunt with my twin counsins came as well. The day after that the whole family of my moms side came to my parents for dinner. Seriously, there was so much food. Turkey, hare, beef, pork, and deer were on the menu. The funniest thing was that Amanda tried on a shirt in a store the next day. It fit rather tight but I liked it and she got it. She is wearing it today and it fits her perfectly now. Apparently her stomach shrunk since the day after Christmas. Let's say that I did not find that surprising at all ;)
The days after Christmas are always the worst days in the year for my wallet. First, it was our 4th year anniversary on the 27th. That was very nice, except for the fact that I gave her a ticket to latin america for the summer. Then, I bought 2 pairs of shoes, a polo shirt, 13 movies, and 2 pairs of yeans (and i paid for amanda's purchases as well). So, guess what my monetary situation is? On a scale from 1 to 10 I'd give it a 4. ;)
Ah well, at least I got us tickets!!!! (and the clothes are very fancy)
The upcoming month is gonna suck. The end of the month is 'celebrated' with the worst exam I'll ever make: macroeconomics IV. And 5 days later, I'll have to pass microeconomics IV somehow. Ugh, so it'll be a month of studying. But all these little things/appointments ruin my study schedule. Plus, I still have to write a 10 page critical commentary on one of the toughest papers in monetary economics EVER. For crying out loud... It's about the contagion of monetary crises in the world (how one crisis in country A can lead to another crisis in country B, eventhough they are not obviously related).
Tomorrow is going to be fun. We are having a lot of people over for New years, about 20. We have tons of beer and wine and of course TONS of oliebollen (greasy balls of deep fried dough and raisins, soooo good). We are also buying fireworks, so it's going to be fun. :)
God bless you in 2007!!
