As many people know, yesterday was Thanksgiving in the States. That means today is the official start of the Christmas season. Yes sir. It's time for Christmas specials on TV, outrageous sales at stores, and Christmas music everywhere. Of the most annoying, I'd go with the music. I'm fairly certain there's about eleven Christmas songs, and every artist covers at least one of them. Yes, I was sitting in Akropolis (that big mall) today and all that was playing was Christmas music. In the half hour of being there, I heard Last Christmas twice. You know, the one that goes "Last Christmas, I gave you my heart, but the very next day, you gave it away..." I think all but one band/singer has covered that particular song. Some things don't change no matter where you are on the globe!
Also, almost right on cue, there is snow! I'm not a huge fan of the snow and the cold, but I'm kind of liking it for some reason. Maybe because it's something new. It started snowing yesterday, and while it didn't stick, it didn't melt into a sloppy mess. Now I think it's starting to stick to rooftops and other things that are closer to the same temperature as the air. It's really pretty.
As usual, things are normal. I'm just about over whatever sickness I had at the start of this week. It's mainly tiredness I think. Accompanied by a headache or sore throat sometimes. The cure is something I am good at: sleep! School is also typical. I don't really like it. It's so boring for me! I don't even like English class that much. I don't know what past simple perfect tense or confusative form is! (I'm pretty sure I'm not making those up too! There are confusing things with either those names, or similar and equally confusing) I also got a Chemistry textbook from the States. It's like a regular textbook for my school, but they don't have those here. The books are small, paperback ones. You don't write in most of them though. You do have to give them back at the end of the year like we do. Everyone is fascinated by it too! It's just different. And expensive!
Well that's about it for now. Iki! (Bye/until in Lithuanian)
