After Thanksgiving Life

The last couple of weeks after Thanksgiving have been rough, chaotic, and stressful. Had to study for finals week, thankfully I had just one, in STATS. I had to finish up some final projects that would help my grade. I even had to be filmed talking in Chinese for a whole 8 minutes. Then I decided to start interpreting again which has been a blast. I enjoy it a lot and am glad that I can be of service to other people. Even though sometimes the patients can be rude at times. Then I received my work permit which means that I can officially work legally once I get my social security card all thanks to President Obama. Then a couple of weeks later my two sisters also got theirs. My family and I also found out that my grandma is coming to live with us. I love the idea of having her here since she is suffering from Alzheimer and will need the best care possible. Then we were told that we were going to go to California for a whole week and be able to go to Disneyland for the first time, however, that did not come true since we had to help bring my grandma to come live with us. So our Christmas will be spent in Utah with my family and all of my extended family.

Starting on Thursday December 13, we have been getting these little presents on our front doorsteps from strangers. We are grateful to whoever is doing it, but it creeps us out because the first night that it happened it was just my sister and I who were in the living room and it was really late like 10:30 and we hear the doorbell, so we answered the door and no one was there so we thought that it was just a doorbell ditcher, however, we found a sheet of window decorations with a note that started off by saying "On the first day of Christmas your true friends, give to you......" and the note went on to explain what was given and for what reason. And we thought that it was a practical joke however, every night since then we have been receiving different items and with little notes but they follow the same pattern as the first but they keep following the story line of the famous Christmas song "The Twelve Days of Christmas" and even though they come at different times we still try to catch a glimpse of the people responsible but they are very sneaky and they ring the doorbell as fast as possible and they book it as fast too. So we can never see who it is. But we hope that on the Twelfth day they will show themselves so that we may thank them for what they did because it means a lot. 

Anyway I hope that everyone has a very Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year. I will write a different post about our Christmas time and then another about our New Years time as well. :)

Feliz Navidad
