I've survived Black Friday and among others...

Oh my... Look how time has flown. I meant to post this entry right after Black Friday, but little things called final exams and life got in the way.
As for Black Friday, it was sheer madness. Bestbuy opened at 5AM, and by the time I arrived at 4:40, there were about 400 people in front of me, thinking very same about how to save some money. As it opened, there were about 200 behind me, go figure :(
I managed to slug my way through human traffic and get what I wanted (and what I needed), and thanks in no small part to Black Friday, I managed to finish all my Christmas shopping done early. It was rather fortunate day (as Lego Store employee pointed out), as I found instant 50% off coupon upon check out at the Lego Store (which something those employees thought were nothing but an urban legend).
Final exams were all completed, I managed to take care of it with ease... except I had to retake clinical competency (sign of things to come?).
I can't wait to open up some gifts already.

School:
First of four semesters completed, passed all classes. Break until 1/23/2008.

Well-being:
Was on diet for awhile, lost about 10 lbs.

Job:
Still the same job, except in the midst of hour cut (and ever shrinking paycheck).

Reading:
Book: Nothing in particular.
Manga: Berserk (actually pretty decent series if you can get over with violence and gore part), Nodame Cantabile (Gyabo!)

Watching:
Tinkering with QAM in my TV-Tuner. HD never looked this good in 22" monitor.

Two Cents: (Soon to be Two and Two-Hundredth, inflation adjusted)
Lots of snow here, about 8" from few days ago, and more to come tomorrow. Picturesque view, except I have to navigate through a car that is too low, and 2WD short of bearable in winter time. Hot cocoa anyone?
