1. Since I haven't done a Starred post in a hundred years I really have missed gathering the photo collage...so I put together a Christmasy one tonight.
2. I received my first grade for the Fall semester...an A+. I will enjoy this for a few minutes because I have a strong feeling it's about to be joined by two "B"s.
3. Last year one of our professors told us a "B" in grad school is basically like an "F". Granted, he was explaining this during a discussion of what it takes to get into a Ph.D. program, but the sentiment still struck a chord.
4. Despite this I will happily take my two "B"s because I never, ever plan on going back to school when this degree is complete.
5. There are only two Christmas gifts left to finish up around here and they involve eight yards of fabric.
6. I am also starting my December (not at all) Daily book tomorrow on December 20th. I have had a book cover and cute numbers waiting for me for the last month.
7. I also have my fingers crossed that I can start getting phone photos uploaded to a Walgreens app and printed in a matte finish at the store around the corner.
8. Matte finish photos are kind of a non-negotiable with me. Please tell me I'm not the only one who is picky about this.
